He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.920 the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.800 crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.240 pill poppers in the penthouse the Clearinghouse of hot takes, 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.080 break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:32.720 Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, and a 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.479 happy Saturday to you. We are back in the podcast 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:41.240 do Joe in honor of Victor, break yet another edition 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:45.440 of the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny G. 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:51.600 A full weekend of Danny G. And we have amazing 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:58.400 tales the life of Mallard on the Saturday podcast. Now, well, 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.320 you're gonna get it whether you want it ort and 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.440 we're not gonna waste any time here. Danny. I thought 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.560 we had a good conversation. I enjoyed going blow by 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.880 blow on what happened in the Alamo and in Argentina 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:16.759 Friday's podcast. That was that was fun. And we'll shut 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.640 up on that, all right, said we'll shut up. And 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:21.840 I heard you were going to start some more ship 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.120 on this podcast. Yes, that is the plan. The plan 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:29.199 is to assemble the mall or militia. And I'll ask 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.520 your opinion on this, Danny, whether I am out of 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.200 bounds or inbounds. And we'll actually start with that now 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.400 on this Saturday edition in the fifth hour, we've got 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:42.920 knocked on Heaven's door and they turned me away real 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:50.480 life impersonating an iPad oozing Pastrami, paradise and backscratcher. There's 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.960 a lot of stuff. There's a lot of content. There's 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.280 a lot of meat. That is a lot of meat. 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.320 There's a lot of content to provide on a weekend. 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:03.440 What are we doing here? And alright, so for years 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.280 on our overnight show, we have pretty much ignored the angels. 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.600 Why would you talk about them? Why would you talk 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.920 about the angels of the show. They've sucked and other 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.919 than Mike Trout hitting home runs or lately show Heyotani, 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.800 they've been irrelevant and they've been that way for a 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:22.600 long time. And so Mike Trout, the biggest name in 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.240 baseball is he's still the biggest name in baseball, but 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:30.800 he plays an obscurity in Annah. Now, I have a 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:32.799 history with the age. When I was a kid, I 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.160 grew up in Orange County, not far from the Big A, 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.639 and I spent a lot of time at Angel games. 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.280 I spent more time when I was a kid at 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:45.160 Angel games and Dodging games because it was geographically desirable 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.200 where I grew up, and I would during the summer 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:49.880 when I was out of school, I would hang out 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.280 of the Big A all the time. And then when 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.600 I got into radio, I was assigned to cover the 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.480 Dodgers and the Angels. So I was back in the 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:02.480 in the nineties up until about ten twelve years ago. 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.320 Like I was out there, Danny, I was. I was 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:11.640 hanging out at Anaheim Stadium, non style. That was my spot. 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:17.000 Whose food was better Dodger Stadium. They had better food, 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:18.799 but and they had a few things that were good 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.919 n Anaheim that I liked. So let's spend a lot 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.919 of time there. I did my part back in those days, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.040 and I talked about the Angels, and the Angels had 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.040 some teams that were playoff teams in those years. They 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.640 had Mike Sosha and they were in the playoffs and 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.200 they won the World Series and O two all that. 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.480 But around the time I stopped going to the games, 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:42.640 there was a writer for the l A Times remember 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.600 again named t J. Simer's columnists. Of course, yeah, t 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.800 J was a hard oh and I was friends with 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:53.960 t J. Interesting cat so t J. Simmer's he was 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.320 a columnist for the l A. Times, and he got 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:02.000 into a battle with Artie Marino, He's still Angels owner, 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:07.440 and it got so ugly that the irrational Angels owner, 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:11.200 the billionaire owner of the Angels, decided he was so 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.680 upset with t J. Simers he was going to punish 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:21.120 all of the media that covered the Angels, all of 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:25.400 the media. Really smart moved there. So he moved the 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:29.560 press box, which had been traditionally for a hundred and 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:33.600 forty years of baseball behind home plate. He moved it 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:39.880 down near the right field foul poll. Yeah yeah yeah. 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.000 And he put a luxury box thing behind home plate. 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.880 And that was his payback. That was his vengeance because 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.599 t J said mean things about him and the Angels 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.040 in the l A. Times, as I remember the story. 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.880 So anyway, after this happened, Danny, I went to how 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.880 many games do you think after that? I would say 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:03.600 zero one. I went to one game after that, and 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.960 I said, what are we doing here? I went I 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.599 checked out the new setup was actually a Freeway series 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.400 game Dodgers and Angels, and I said, this is a 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:16.400 nothing burger. This is a waste of my time. I 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.520 mean it was insane. I was not interested in covering 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.720 an inanimate object that yellow foul poll out in right field, 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.200 or giving traffic updates on the fifty seven Freeway which 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.920 goes by the Big A, so I stopped going. Was 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:35.080 close to the Pearly Gates. So anyway, the other day 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.000 I was like, you know what, maybe I should give 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.880 them another chance. Maybe I should give them another chance. 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.560 I said, it's been twelve years or something like that. 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.680 You know, let's let bygones be bygones. Let's smoke the 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.440 piece pipe. I would like to work with Seth Rogan. 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:54.400 I think that would be really fun. Wonder why, And 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.599 I'll give the Halos a shot. So I reached out 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.880 and had the people at Fox Sports Ray Deo reach 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.159 out for me to the Angels to get a press 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.640 pass for the season. I know Joe Madden a little bit. 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:08.800 I was around him a lot when he was a 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.200 coach for the Angels, so I thought it'd be cool. 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.600 Joe's a cool guy to chat with. He's a good 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.640 bullshit artists. I thought it would be fun and what 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.279 I would just get some stories for the show. I 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.360 go these games, there's a lot of things that happened, 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.679 and to be honest with that, I would just likely 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.840 go for batting practice because that's where you get all 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.799 the good stuff. And then when the game started, I'd 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.160 probably take off watch it on TV because you can't 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.560 see it from the press box, and so it's anyway, 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:39.599 and that is the backdrop. The request was made and 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.360 I I looked at my inbox earlier this week and 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:47.920 I get get an email from the Angels, and sure enough, 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:55.280 I had knocked on Heaven's door and they denied. They 0:06:55.360 --> 0:07:00.760 denied the request for for media credentials, which is fascinating 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.680 me because the Angels have always my entire life complained 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.520 that they're the junior varsity, that the l A media 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.239 doesn't cover them, they get no national publicity. They've always 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.760 been upset by this, at least seemingly upset. And so 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:22.160 the Angels some pr hacks some woman I don't calm down. 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.440 I guess I know you're uh, some woman named Grace Macnami. 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.520 I don't know who that is. I've never heard of her. 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.440 Everyone I knew that worked for the Angels either in 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.280 jail like the guy that gave the drugs to the picture, 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:38.560 or is out of baseball. So I don't know who 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.200 this woman is. I have known, no idea. I wouldn't 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:46.440 know her from the light post across the street. Sexist anyway, 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.239 So she she her name was on the the letter 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.960 and it said, uh, it said here, let's see here. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:58.000 We've received a tremendous amount of athletes for season credentials, 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.760 and unfortunately we can credential a fraction of those that applied. Well, 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.480 of course, my response would be, well, that's true because 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.400 you've got rid of the press box twelve years ago 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.560 because your owner is a lunatic. Uh. And then also 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.280 the fact that you you've opened it up and you're 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.520 getting a lot of attention with the Japanese media because 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:19.800 of Otani. So there's that contingent. It just seems like 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:25.040 a bit shortsighted. I'm biased, obviously, Danny on this, but 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.480 not that I'm any good. But I have a pretty good, 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:32.600 pretty good megaphone that I have access to, and that's 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:36.199 a that's a megaphone that's on almost five hundred radio stations. 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.280 Across the country with a lot of big time sports 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.440 fans and major markets, some of the biggest sports stock 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.120 radio stations in the country that that show gets carried 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.880 on and more importantly for the Angels because they want 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.319 to sell tickets and have people excited about their team. Uh, 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.040 the show we do is you know, Danny on a 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.800 M five sevent in the Los Angeles market, which is 0:08:55.840 --> 0:09:00.400 the number one sports station in l A and has 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:04.080 the Dodgers. It's the it's the enemy team in the 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:08.000 l A market, and our show comes on when the 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.080 Dodgers are on the West Coast after Dodging talk. Yeah, 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.640 if anything, I would see the name, I would know 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.520 you're on a M five seventy every night if I 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:20.319 was smart in their marketing department or their communications department. 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.960 This is a great opportunity to have this guy talk 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:28.360 about our team instead of the team that that station carries. Yeah, 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.920 and that station M five seventies owned by the Dodgers. 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.960 I mean, it's partially owned by the Dodgers. So it 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:37.800 shows you what a bunch of brownies the Angels have 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.040 in their communications department. So it was a chance, you know, 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:42.400 I would have I would have been out there. I 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.120 would have been a good soldier. I would have gone 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.760 out and experienced things and just going to the ballpark 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:48.880 and talking to people with the Angels. I staw have 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.120 friends that worked for the Angels, a few of them, 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.880 not many. Our buddy Gooby still does the Angel games 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.120 on TV. We've known Mark Ubaza for a long time, 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.960 former Fox Sports Radio baseball insider guy many years ago. 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.199 That was the deal. So the Angels denied my access 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:09.839 and uh so we will Instead of me going out there, 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.480 They'll let Joe blow from TikTok Or. I'm sure the 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.480 media from Japan will do a fine job covering the 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.560 Angels and that will help them get a lot of 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.520 fans in l A. So I I would never be 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.480 like me to put the whammy on the on the Halos. 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.440 I'll leave it up to the Mallew militia how they 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.600 want me to handle this. Would that be wrong if 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.000 I put the whammy on the Halos or would I 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:36.680 do that? No, this is why the Angels are the Angels. Yes, 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.160 this is this is not good business, but that's the Angels. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.640 That's the operation they have there. And I believe if 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.480 I if I made this a big deal and put 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.439 the whammy on them. That would be publicity. In any 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.560 publicity is good publicity. So it's more than likely, Danny 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.880 that while I'll leave it up to the Mallew Militia, 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.320 my my generals, my brigadier generals, and the Mallew Militia, 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.480 ultimately it's more likely than not that I will just 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.480 go back to what I've done for years and ignore 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:07.400 the agents. So that's probably how that's gonna go. What's 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.360 the lady's name again, the lady that send me an email, 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.800 her Grace mcnamie. I have no idea who that woman is. 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:15.520 I don't know anything about her, but she's the one 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:19.959 the Angels Baseball Communication department. Well, I would never point 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:21.719 out her name or anything. How do you spell the 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:26.839 last name? I believe it's mc capital and a M e. 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.240 I believe it's I'm sure she's a lovely woman, a 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.640 nice woman, and she means well, she's just bad at 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.840 her job. That happens, you know, And maybe she's just 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.400 a messenger. Maybe it's other people that are incompetent their 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.400 job and not her. I don't know. I don't really 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.960 know anybody over there anymore in the PR department so 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.120 these are the questions that somebody might need to ask her. 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.720 These are all legitimate questions. These are all the legitimate questions. 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:55.319 So moving on, We've got real life impersonating an iPad, 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.880 which is something that's right out of a horror move 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:10.000 A little more calm than that, although although the scene 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.120 when I walked outside it did kind of remind me 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.480 of a horror movie. I don't know. I'm not obviously 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.040 not the only one who does this, because I see 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.040 these TV commercials all the time. I think lebron was 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:24.520 even the face of this company that calm at Have 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.600 you ever tried that? Oh? Is this the thing you're 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.360 supposed to do before bed? Is that the or you 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.880 can the free version of it on your iPad or 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:37.000 your phone. I want to say, maybe like five different scenes, 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:43.200 like a mountain spring, a lake, a nighttime scene, there's 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.520 like a rain setting, and you just put this on 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:48.560 and you know, keep it on for as long as 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.280 you want to either sleep with it in the background 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:55.520 or just help you fall asleep. So I use this 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.840 from time to time because as you doesn't work for me? 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:02.160 It does? Yeah, yeah, for me it does. I don't 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.440 use it every night, but there's certain nights whereas you know, 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.560 because of what we do for a living, we've battled 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:12.160 insomnia from time to time. It happens all yeah, yeah, 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.600 we're doing weird hours. We're working a lot. So there's 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.319 this one setting on there. There's like mountains in the background, 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.160 there's a body of water. It's like what you would 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:29.320 hear at night. You start to hear owls, and I 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.560 kind of like that. I I wasn't sure what to 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.720 think at first, because I would always use their slide 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.640 that was the rain falling, and that got boring. So 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.920 I'm like, I need a new one, so I switched 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.280 to the one with the owls, you know. And at 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.360 the time, I'm living in Burbank, which is a big 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:49.439 city in southern California, right in the middle too, like downtown. 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.360 So in the middle of an inner city. Normally I 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:57.920 hear people arguing outside doors, slamming the neighbor on the 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.240 other side of the fence, dancing to Arabic music, smoking 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:08.800 their hookah at all hours of the day. Isn't that nice? 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:12.360 It was awesome. Those were the soothing sounds I was 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.800 used to. Now fast forward to right now, I am 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.800 now living right on the outskirts of the San Fernando 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:23.720 Valley as you start to enter Ventura County. This setting 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.080 here Ben is more like yours that they're in the 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:31.000 north Woods. There's mountains, there's lots of trees. It's foreign 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.760 to me that there's no smog, the sky is clear. 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.760 It is odd, right, I lived in in the city 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:42.280 for twenty years. I lived in l A Hollywood probably 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.160 longer than that. I can't believe it's been that long, 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.960 dating myself. But it is weird to get back out 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.000 and see like trees and stuff. It's odd, it is, 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:54.640 and for me because there's always this haze that covers 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.920 Burbank unless there's a really nice rain for a couple 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.760 of days that cleans the sky, and then in Burbank 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.040 we'd all be looking around like where are we? What 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:08.040 is this? But it's like that every day here. So 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.600 there's times where I'm just looking up at the blue 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.800 sky and I'm like, this is freaking amazing. Um. So 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.920 I have to get used to the new sights and sounds. Well, 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.080 I didn't have my camm app on the other night, 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:26.320 but I started hearing owls and it was two owls, 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:30.560 very loud, like almost like they were on my patio. Okay, 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:35.000 I'm like, I don't have my iPad open. I sometimes 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.400 my girl will play that app from her phone. I 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.600 look over her phone is not playing this. I'm so 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:46.320 confused because I'm like, where is this coming from? So 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.720 I go downstairs, I walk out to the parking area 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:55.040 and Ben, these are the sounds of these owls. Was like, 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.840 this huge owl was right above me. I've never heard 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.880 an owl so out and so close to me. Now, 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.440 I might just sound like a city slicker here, but 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.920 it freaked me out. And then this owl's hooting. You know, 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.040 I wish I could do an owl sound effect. Maybe 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:16.520 I can find one. Can you do an owl? Who? Wrong? 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.920 Like that? It might be the best part of this podcast. 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.400 I'm really good at impersonations. Bag come on out there. 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:31.200 And then just down the street a little bit, another 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:34.480 owl at the neighbors is talking back to the owl 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.720 that I now owned. So they're having so let me 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:41.520 let me try again. Here's try here we go. Ready, ready, Yeah, 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:47.480 how was that? You're cheating? You and your damn sound effects? 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.480 I got my toy, I gotta I gotta play with it, 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.280 but I was I mean you because of where you 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.480 live and where you've lived in Orange County, you probably 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:01.640 heard loud owls before, but I have not. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.960 yeah for sure. And I noticed, like when I go 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.800 to bed sometimes out in the north woods here there'll 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.120 be birds, Like you can tell when the birds wake up, 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.800 like it's it's out of a Disney movie, an old 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.200 Disney movie where the birds are singing to each other 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:19.119 in the morning. It's one of those birds going wold. 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:23.040 And now these owls can be so loud. Their sound 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:27.720 almost like reverberates to trip. Yeah. I mean I stood 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:29.919 out there for a good ten minutes just listening to 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.840 these owls, and then I walked back upstairs, laid back down, 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.760 and I wanted to turn the volume down on my 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:42.680 iPad because like, these fuckers are too loud. I love 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.920 the sound on the com at, but I can adjust 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.560 that volume. Yeah. Question from the class, did you consider 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.720 going out and recording the owls and then just using 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:57.680 that as you're in a loop, as you know, next 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.520 time they show up here outside, I'm to do that. 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:02.919 You should. You don't need the commap, you can do 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:08.640 it yourself right there. Absolutely. Uh yeah, things I'm gonna 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:12.399 have to get used to man, what kind of owls 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.920 were they? Did you see him like what they look like? No? No, 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:18.240 it couldn't see them. But the one here in front 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.720 of my place sounded like he was in the tree 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:25.359 right outside. Don't owls like come down and kill rats 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.000 and stuff? Isn't that what they eat? Am I right 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:28.960 on that? Or no? Yeah, no, you're right. That's why 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.200 my girl is scared to walk her little rat dog 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:36.040 at night. Oh, I think the owl's gonna be like, 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.280 I want to I want to snack and yeah, poor 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:45.480 Daisy the dog dog looks it looks exciting. Uh yeah, 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:50.399 there you go. All right. Uh So, since this is 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.240 the Saturday part, it's all about the life of Mouth. 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.560 Part of it isn't he and Danny Life of Malle 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.520 Life of Danny? So last weekend, this is a little 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:00.439 thing happening behind the scenes at the Mouth our mansion. 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:04.480 So we were trying to get this backyard timer thing working. 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:08.000 There was a timer on the backyard light back of 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.760 the house, which seems like a rather simple thing for 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:16.640 someone to do. It's not trigonometry, but this was advanced calculus. 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:19.720 Because we didn't we didn't put that thing in and 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:23.520 we didn't really know much about it. But you know something, 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.320 since we hadn't installed it, we didn't know the instructions 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:32.000 and all that, and after finagling with it, I just 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:35.480 had no idea. So I was laying in bed, It's 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:39.640 like two in the morning, and I'm contemplating how how 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:43.240 terrible I am at adult stuff like this is something 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.239 a grown up person should be able to do, like 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.600 my dad would do it in two minutes being around. Unfortunately, 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:52.199 So I'm like, oh, this sucks. I can't figure it out. Wife, 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:56.040 she couldn't figure it out, and so we're like, you know, 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.520 some land in bed. I'm contemplating situation, and then I 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:00.679 fell down a rabbit hole. I went on YouTube, like 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:02.920 you know what, I'm gonna go on YouTube and I 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:07.200 searching timers for lights and eventually I'll find the right one. 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.520 So I started looking. I'm watching dozens, I'm clicking through 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.159 dozens of videos because I'm trying to find the one 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.560 that looks just like the one on the wall from 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:22.280 random timers and Whaila. After a long time searching, I 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:28.159 found a video it's six years old from and it 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.840 had the info that I needed. So I popped out 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.320 of bed and media I was half asleep at the time, 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.679 jumped out of bed and I start going down to 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.040 where I need to go or I'm sprinting down the 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:44.679 steps to go to the room where the wall timer is. 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:48.600 And somehow, in my haste to get this thing programmed, 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:53.200 I had I had kicked my big toe on my 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:57.720 left foot against either a step or the wall. I'm 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.760 not sure what it was dark, but I didn't think 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:03.400 much of it, Dade, I think much of it at time. 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:06.880 So I'm sitting on the sofa. I'm watching the YouTube 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.080 video over and over again so I get the exact 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:12.440 code to put in there. Yeah, so I'm saying, I'm 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.720 I'm I'm sitting on the sofa. And after I got 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:20.640 done with the thing of a jig, I noticed there's 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:25.200 like some some like this wet stuff on the sofa 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:28.560 right and I'm like, uh, you know, what did I 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:30.480 did I have an accident? Am I getting that old 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:35.560 where maybe something happened there in consonance or something? And no, 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:39.400 So I looked down and I'm like, holy folk, it's 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:43.879 like a crime scene, Danny. There's this big puddle of 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:48.960 blood right in the middle of the sofa. Yeah, yeah, 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:53.080 sure enough. When I made my bull rush to get 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:57.280 and fix the timer. I had kicked my left big toe, 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:02.160 and then part is I didn't really notice the blood. 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:06.719 It started using blood. I am the definition of a loser, 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:10.200 and I was so focused on the task at hand 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:12.959 that I didn't realize what was going on. So so 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:16.520 then I had to do the embarrassing wake up call 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:20.320 to the wife's as you sleeping, like, hey, I need 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:23.800 a little help down here, and I was like, and 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:26.400 it's not. I wasn't even concerned about the toe because 0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:28.199 I've cut my toe like that where it's bled a 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:30.679 loot before in the past. But I was like, this 0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:35.160 sofa is gonna get ruined. I'm like, we gotta clean 0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:38.400 that thing up, like right now, right now, clean it up. 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:41.080 It was it only on the sofa or did it 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:43.679 get on the floor as well well? A little bit 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:45.160 down on the floor. I wasn't worried about the floor 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:46.960 because we have like the tile whatever, you can clean 0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:49.960 that up right away, but the the sofa, and once 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:54.399 it soaks in, that's it over man. And so fortunately 0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:59.320 we got it just in time and my wife was 0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:02.440 able to clean end it up and I was hopping 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:05.040 on my right foot the rest of the day there, 0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:09.040 and I'm now in the process. I've I've kicked my toe, 0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:10.600 my big feet. So if every once in a while 0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:14.240 this happens. So I'm at the point now where it's 0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:18.960 like a monster thing, you know. I'm waiting for the 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:20.639 I'm waiting for the time. I know what that is. 0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:23.119 I'm waiting for the toe nail to fall off my 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:26.160 big toe on my left foot. I currently have a 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:29.800 bandage wrapping the big toe nail, but it's hanging on 0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:33.600
