1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: Kabooms. If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow. The Clearinghouse 6 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, 8 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: The Weekend kicks off, no days off. The Fifth Hour 9 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: with Ben Maller and Danny G Radio back in the 10 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: podcast Dojo, my right hand was getting a workout every 11 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: single day, and this being the first show of the 12 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: brand new Weekend, Danny g so much to go over, 13 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: so much that we have not talked about on our 14 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: respective shows. As hear me five nights a week on 15 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: the Overnight show on Fox Sports Radio. Danny's on with 16 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: Covino and Rich during the week as well, and we 17 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: form Voltron on the weekend for Audio Gold, Danny Audio Gold, 18 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: this is yeah, someone call it silver, maybe even bronze, 19 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: but it's better than XFL where they didn't even paint 20 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: the end zones last weekend. Well, that costs money. It 21 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: costs a lot of money to go down to home 22 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: depone by paint, and then you gotta have somebody that 23 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: knows how to use one of those spray guns. It's 24 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: a it's a lot, a lot of work involved in that, 25 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: A lot of work involved in that. You actually watched 26 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: the XFL. You were actually partaking in the project ride. 27 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: I did my best. I had it on in the 28 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: background for about twenty minutes. It was okay, I just missed. 29 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: I missed the old Vince McMahon days of the XFL. 30 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: Loosen the hot tubs in the end zone, and yes, 31 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: when they were prostitutes dancing for each team. Strippers are 32 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: people too. Yeah, the XFL's trying too hard to be legitimate, 33 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like they want to like that. 34 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: There's a battle between the USFL, the XFL, all these 35 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: leagues that start up. They all are desperately trying to 36 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: partner with the NFL and be a legitimate minor league operation, 37 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: and no one's been able to convince the NFL owners. Now, 38 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: maybe the Rock will be the guy that does it. 39 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: He's made a lot of money, he's been very successful, 40 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: but they've been unable to hornswoggle money because the owners 41 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: they don't want to spend any money, and they might 42 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: not have to with the XFL, Like the XFL might say, 43 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: we'll just let us use your brand and then we'll 44 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: make it work. But we'll see what it comes to 45 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: that because the other argument for the NFL would be 46 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: to actually start their own legitimate minor league offseason operation. 47 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: They can make a lot of money and it could 48 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: be a year round thing, but then they got to 49 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: work year round and that's a pain in the ass, 50 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: and who wants to do that, you know? So well, 51 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: you know the problem with that is they don't have 52 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: the startup money. Yeah, clearly, Well they're they're struggling operation 53 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: in the NFL. We learned that at the Super Bowl, Danny. 54 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: They don't have a lot of money. They don't They 55 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: certainly don't spend a lot of money. I heard on 56 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: their employees. That's what I've heard. But you know, I 57 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: digress anyway, So this is the Friday podcast. You're probably saying, Hey, 58 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: what the hell, why isn't there some big name guest on. Well, 59 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: this is like a test run. We'll see how this 60 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: goes if the downloads are the same. I mean, I'm 61 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: not opposed to putting on my radio friends. We've done 62 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: that a lot, and we certainly will have people on Friday, 63 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: but there's no guarantee that we'll have somebody on every week. 64 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: It might just be us Dandy, We might just be 65 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: yapping away here. Two guys is enough for me. We 66 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: have plenty of stories to tell and things that we 67 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: we can get to and discuss. I hate to tell 68 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: Brian Billick, Brian bill Brian Billick, when you have guests 69 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: like him on the download numbers are actually stronger when 70 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: it's just you and me bullshitting. Yeah, that's kind of shocking. 71 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: Like you think, there's this mindset we all have in radio, 72 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: old school radio, and a lot of shows fall trapped 73 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: to this. It's like you gotta have the biggest name guests, 74 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: you gotta have like the sexiest rundown. But I agreed, Dan, 75 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: I think most people, if you're doing it right, people 76 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: want to hear what the host of the show has 77 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: to say. They don't necessary and it's probably because I'm 78 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: doing this and we're doing this, and so we have 79 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: big heads and we think that's all about us. But 80 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: but seriously, no, I know, as a consumer of audio content, like, 81 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: over the years, I've always liked this just hearing what 82 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: the host has to say. I don't need to hear 83 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: the guest. Even on late night TV when I was 84 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: a kid, and that used to be big because I'm 85 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: old late night TV. I love the monologue and the 86 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: jokes at the desk, and then they'd bring out some 87 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: soap opera star and I'd say, like, what the fuck. 88 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 1: I don't care about soap operas. You know who cares 89 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: And even the music acts, which you think, well, that's cool, 90 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: it's music. If I didn't really like the vibe of 91 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: the music act, I mean, I get them off the stage. 92 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: I want to hear more jokes. Yeah, it had to 93 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: be a very entertaining guest for it not to get 94 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: in the way of David Letterman's jokes. Oh yeah, Letterman 95 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: the King, his old NBC show, And I would rather 96 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: see him throw a tub of lard off a parking 97 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: structure in New Jersey than hear him interview just about anybody. Okay, 98 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: I mean it's just the way. So on this the 99 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: Friday Podcast, we've got the Wisdom on Demand, Trust the 100 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: Process and pop Quiz and whatever else pops up. So 101 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: we'll start with this. So I would like to thank 102 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: the Mallard militia, Danny and their generosity. You are the greatest. 103 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: And this podcast last weekend we told the story of 104 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: my beloved mallarmobile. I've kind of exploded many a year 105 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: of service, melting down on the highway needing to be 106 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: towed for the fourth time since June. And that was 107 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: a sign, that was a sign from above that this 108 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: car is headed to the big junkyard in the sky, 109 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: that it will meet its demise. And so I asked 110 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: and we asked for listener feedback on the podcast. Now 111 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: I was pleasantly surprised by the volume of people who 112 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: reached out. And one thing about dudes, everyone's got a 113 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: preference when it comes to cars and should handle this, 114 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: and we were all over the spectrum and it's cool. Listen, 115 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: this show is like a family, and you listen, you're 116 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: part of our extended family with people a good reach 117 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: on this show, which is exciting, not because of us, 118 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: because of the company. They have a big platform. And 119 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: the reviews have been a lot of mixed reviews like that. 120 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: It was really wisdom on demand because I had friends 121 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: who liked this podcast who requested that I not get 122 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: certain cars. Some people were very concerned I was gonna 123 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: get an all electric car that that would go full woke. 124 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: They didn't want me to do that. Others said it 125 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: was a great idea to go electric. So I had 126 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: people on both sides. They were like, oh, yeah, as 127 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: you get electric car, you never have to buy gas again. 128 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: And then other people are like no. I had some 129 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: people that say, oh, you gotta get Prius because that's 130 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: the way to go. Callighan Tim for example. He wrote 131 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: in says RAV for hybrid XLE was the way to go. 132 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: Albert brought up a great idea. He says, rather than 133 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: send the mallarmobile to the big junkyard in the sky, 134 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: I could take it to a like a Junkyard and 135 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: get reply placement parts from a donor car. So that's 136 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: an idea. Dady, I'm not the most mechanically inclined person. 137 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: I love the idea of that. The execution of that, 138 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,559 Speaker 1: we're not working. You've met my wife, Danny. She would 139 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: not go for that. No, no, no, I don't think 140 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: she would trust you on that one. Yeah, she wanted 141 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: something new. I do. Thank you and all the all 142 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: the people that emailed in and I can get a 143 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: chance to write back to everybody. So if I didn't 144 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: get back to your bad job by me, but thank 145 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: you for that. And I don't know that it really 146 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: helped because I had all sides covered, so I had 147 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: I had people saying get this, don't get this, and 148 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: other people are saying get this, and so it was 149 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: like that was that was interesting going through the big 150 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: pile of messages from people from the last weekend's podcast, 151 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: and we were busy. I mean, I can I can 152 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: now update. This is a podcast exclusive.

So I pointed 161 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: this out briefly on the radio show, but I want 162 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: to get into it deeper here. It is a much 163 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: different ball game than it was before. And I have 164 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: not had a new car or purchased a different car 165 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: than I had prior. It's been not ten years, but 166 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: close to ten. It's been a while. It's been a while. 167 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: So a buddy of mine who I used to work 168 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: with in radio, had worked in the car business for 169 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: thirty years. This guy worked in the car business, and 170 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: I called them. I said, what the hell's going on here? 171 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: I can't get a deal. What's going on with it? 172 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: And so he explained everything. He said. The car industry 173 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: took advantage of COVID, oh yeah, and out of an 174 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: abundance of caution. And he wasn't sure whether this was 175 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: a like a meeting, they colluded to do this or 176 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: it just kind of happened organically. I would go with collusion, 177 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: but I don't know. I'm not smack dab in the 178 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: middle of it. But out of an abundance of caution, Danny, 179 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: out of an abundance of caution, they decided that it 180 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: wasn't safe to sit in a room and haggle over 181 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: how much a car was worse worth you know how 182 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: much it was. So because God forbid, you may exchange 183 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: bodily fluids and we certainly don't want that. You know, 184 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: your spit is for boating during COVID. So what they 185 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: did is they decided to screw over the people that 186 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: buy cars, you know, out of an abundance of caution. 187 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: And of course this has no thing to do with 188 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: us making more money. That just it just is a 189 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: side benefit, you know, you boil it down, it's a 190 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: side benefit. And so they've they've totally changed everything. It's 191 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: been like this for a few years. I'm late to 192 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: the party. I realized that. Did he also mentioned to 193 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: you the shortage of computer chips. Yeah, yeah, and he 194 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: mentioned and this is actually true. I found this out 195 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: and about as a foot soldier on many a car lot, 196 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: that the new cars they only have one or two 197 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: at a time. You have to order them. Yeah, sometimes 198 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: they don't even have that. So you have to buy 199 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: a car that costs a fortune, not knowing if you're 200 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: actually gonna like it, you know what I mean. You 201 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: can look at sometimes they'll have one, sometimes they won't. 202 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: Like I've heard a lot of people buying Tesla's. They 203 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: don't I mean, they don't know what they're getting. They're 204 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: ordering anything they know, they know what they look like, 205 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: but they don't know. It's like ordering a car out 206 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: of a catalog. Yeah, we've gone back to the Sears catalog. 207 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: Now we've gone back to that. So this annoyed me, 208 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: and the customer gets screwed to take it or leave it. 209 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: No haggle. I like to haggle. I'm a haggler and 210 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: it's in my DNA. My grandfather m my mom's dad 211 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: taught me. He's the guy that I learned Yiddish from. 212 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: Some bad Yiddish words. Give us one of the words 213 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: right now, for Clempt. I was for Clempt. I was 214 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: very emotional when I learned that this thing my grandfather 215 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: had passed on to the younger generation, like he was 216 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: the maestro, at least in my eyes. I don't know. 217 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: I was a kid, but whenever my mom and dad 218 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: need a new car, they're like, all right, let's get Grandpa, 219 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, let's get ball ball and we'll we'll take him. 220 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: And it was such a m sugarnu that's another Yiddish word, 221 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: by the way, and we'd go to the car lot 222 00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: and he loved it. He was like a thespi in 223 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: on Broadway, performing right, just performing all the stick, and 224 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: he'd get into arguments with the car dealer, and he 225 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: studied everything, and that's his day before the internet. So 226 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: he'd get like the Kelly Blue Book out and he'd 227 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: figure out how much stuff was worth, and how much 228 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: the dealer was making and how much he was getting screwed. 229 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: But he showed me everything like as much as he could, 230 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: just and a lot of it was biasmosis, just kind 231 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: of watching him work. As these car dealers were total 232 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: Another year's were Shmendricks who were just clueless and so 233 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: as like I learned this as a kid, and you 234 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: know this guy my grandfather would work over a car dealer, 235 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: as Rob Parker would say, like a Burger and fries man. 236 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: He would just work over the card dealer. And so 237 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I like that, That's what I 238 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: want to do. And then sometimes the car dealer would cave. 239 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: My grandfather knew, though, the key to getting a deal 240 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: back in those days you have to be willing to 241 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: walk out, because they know the car dealers when you haggle, 242 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: if you walked out, the deal was off. They wanted 243 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: the deal hard to sell a car, and if you 244 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: were willing to walk out, as you were walking to 245 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: your car, they will follow you. Number one, number two, 246 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: the price of that car will magically go down. It'll 247 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: be like, hey, wait a minute, I think I can 248 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: talk to my manager. I think I can figure something out, 249 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: you know, don't leave, and they're like, beg you not 250 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: to leave. But that's even changed slightly now because I 251 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: went car shopping a month ago and I walked out 252 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: the first day and the dude didn't follow me. It 253 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: didn't follow you. I screw you. I wound up haggling 254 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: a little bit with him over the phone, texting, and 255 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: then he went back to his boss a couple of times. 256 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: You gotta love that one, right, Well, let me go 257 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: back to my boss. You ever say, hey, why don't 258 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: I just talk to your boss, because they're the ones 259 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: that have them more exactly, just cut out the middleman here. Yeah, yeah, 260 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm running in circles here. So that was the kind 261 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: of backstory on that. Obviously, this is not an option 262 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: that a skill set that I had a little knowledge in. Employee. 263 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: It's like being good at using a typewriter, you know, 264 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: not a computer, a typewriter. It's well, that's a good skill, 265 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: but you know, it's not really useful these days or 266 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: being the master or the maestro of the pay phone. Anyway, 267 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: So that was a pinion. Yes, So the way it 268 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: works now and you know this, Danny is a phone laptop. 269 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: You just gotta look up cars find a deal. And 270 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not buying a new car to overnight radio. 271 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: I'm not buying a new car. And plus, it's not 272 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: a good idea to buy a new car. Even if 273 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: I had the money, I don't think I would buy 274 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: a brand new car because it's one of the worst 275 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: investments you can make. As soon as you leave the 276 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: car lot, even whether it's new or used, that goes 277 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: down in value and so whatever. And they don't even 278 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: say used. They haven't done that for years. It's it's 279 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: pre owned. Oh, certified, certified, Yeah, certified, which is another 280 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: bullshit that we can get that in a different podcast 281 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: if you want. And so anyway, so the way this started, 282 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: it's the time tested process of elimination and the way 283 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: it works. We had an idea. My wife drives a 284 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: lot more than I do these days, and she has 285 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: a very long commute, and I wanted her to pick 286 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: out something she liked, but she wanted something I could 287 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: fit in because I do drive a lot on the weekends. 288 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: Usually we go on road trips. We love going on 289 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: road trips around California and Arizona, Nevada and all the 290 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: places we can get to. And so I was like, 291 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: all right. So she started this big list and we 292 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: went through a few cars. I sat in a few, 293 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: we test drove a few cars, and within like a 294 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: day we had limited it to a couple of different cars. 295 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: And the thing that I should point out, we did 296 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: test drive the two cars we were debating. We test 297 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: drove the one that did not quite meet all the 298 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: requirements but had I had a lot of them. And 299 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: the way my wife works, she wants. Once she says 300 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: she wants something, that's it. It's over. But I'm like, 301 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: I gotta look at everything. I'm like, I want to 302 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: make sure i'm making This is a big investment. There's 303 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of money, So I want 304 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: to look at every car. My wife sits in this car, 305 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: she's that's good, we'll take it. That's all we need. 306 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,959 Speaker 1: I'm like no. So she loved it, and I was like, no, no, no, no, 307 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: that's not the way this works, right. You can't you 308 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: gotta trust the process. I'm quoting Sam Hinky the Old 309 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: Sixers GM. You gotta trust the process. We gotta look 310 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: at all these colors. You gotta make sure, you know, 311 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: maybe we can get a better deal, and you know, 312 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: going back and forth. And so it was like Goldilocks, 313 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: the Story of Goldilocks for me. For her, it was like, Okay, 314 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 1: this is good, that's all we need, and we'll we'll 315 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: love the car. And I'm like, no, no. I saw. 316 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: I sat in the first cars, like, you know this, 317 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: this car's not for me. It's too small. And then 318 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: I sat in the second car and that's too small. Again, 319 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: I whint. And then I found the car that was 320 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: the biggest of them all and I felt most comfortable 321 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: and I said, ah, this chair is just right and 322 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: in this car and I said, that's it. And so 323 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: we didn't find it. It was a wagon, yes, yes, 324 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: it was a bug a VW Buck. No. So we 325 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: picked out what the car we wanted, and then we 326 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: found this great deal online far away in the town 327 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: we used to live in, and so we left the 328 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: north Woods and went through rush hour LA traffic out 329 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: to this dealer. Because it was a great deal. We 330 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: took a test drive of this car, and it was great, 331 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: and it was wonderful. It's just what we wanted. And 332 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: so then we were texting to figure out the exact price, 333 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: the price that was listed online. And since the car 334 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: dealer knew that we wanted the car, he tossed in 335 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: an extra two thousand dollars saying the car was two 336 00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: thousand dollars more than it was listed for. And I said, bullshit, 337 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: and we we did not buy that car. What a 338 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: bunch of crooks, right, So we went to Plan B 339 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: and we ended up with a very similar car that 340 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: we wanted, the new Mallarmobile, with no extra fees that 341 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, they lowered it a little bit, not very much. 342 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: But by the time you get done, if you get 343 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: the extended warranty, which I didn't want to get, my 344 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: wife wanted to get it, and gap coverage also, yes 345 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: you get that, it ends up plus taxes and fees 346 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: whatever the prices you got out on four or five 347 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: grand by the time you get out of there. Yeah, insane, 348 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: absolutely freaking insane. So it's like all this hidden stuff 349 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: that they put in. So anyway, please have your your 350 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: neighbors barber's gardeners Poolboy download the podcast religiously, so we 351 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: make more money, Danny, and would be able to pay 352 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: pay for the car, which i'd we drive so much 353 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: like I think we had a twenty sixteen car. The 354 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: last car we had hundred and forty thousand miles AM 355 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: put on that car. So this car is going to 356 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: we drive the car into the ground and it's going 357 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: to be driven to the ground and just the way 358 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: it is, and you just got to deal with it. 359 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: And that is that. Now, did you go gasoline? Yes? 360 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: I did not. We were going to get a hybrid, 361 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: but looked at some stuff online, did a little research, 362 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 1: and we determined the amount of driving we do the 363 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: hybrid would not work for us. That we would drive 364 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: the hybrid battery would die. We wanted to do electric, 365 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: but the same thing. It's not designed. Although I did 366 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: have people that emailed the show, Danny, you know, giving 367 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: us wisdom who said they had priuses that were two 368 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: hundred plus thousand miles and it still drove great, and 369 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: but we decided to go with a regular traditional car. 370 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: But it's it's it's like that balance do you want 371 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: to get you want to get gas mileedge, but you 372 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: want to me. It's you gotta be comfortable. I'm a 373 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: big comfort guy. You're in the car La traffic, it's 374 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: a pain in the ass, and so we weighed everything. 375 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: It's a very nice luxury inside. The car is very nice, 376 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: you know, the outsides whatever. But hopefully it's not a lemon. 377 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: So we had we had the let. I don't even 378 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,719 Speaker 1: know the other car was a lemon? Are you going 379 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,479 Speaker 1: to do with the lemon? By the way, we are 380 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: still working on that is currently sitting at a repair shop. 381 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: We have been told it has been given its last rites. 382 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: There is not anything they can do. There is a 383 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: car priest coming in, a rabbi and a shaman and 384 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: a firing squad. Yes, I think it will. It will 385 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: be going maybe a Cuba. I don't know. I don't 386 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: know what they do with that. We have a little 387 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: time left. Why don't we do pop quiz? You haven't 388 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: done that in a long time. You want to do 389 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: a pop quiz, Danny. Let's all right, let's do a 390 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: little pop quiz. And so the way this works, I 391 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: will quiz Danny. In theory you would play along and 392 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: see how you do. That's not going to happen. No, 393 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: of course not. But I'd like to imagine as people 394 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: are enjoying the podcast doing whatever they're doing, and they 395 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: will they will play along. And so these are random 396 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: things we found around the interweb. And let's get started 397 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: with this. America is now number in the world for this. 398 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: We're number one in the world for this. What do 399 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: you think it is, Danny Edibles, Well, that might be true, 400 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: but that's not the answer. The answer is tattoo removal 401 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: and corrections. Wow, number one. Now you have some tattoos. 402 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: Any of you had to get any corrections there? You're married? Now, 403 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: did you ever get a lady's name on your body 404 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: anywhere that you might regret at this point? Any of that? 405 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 1: I did cover up a girl's name. Um, I have 406 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: a few cover ups. But yeah, I mean I only 407 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: have twenty seven tattoos. So the one on your face 408 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: is really impressive. That one is next. Not a lot 409 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: of correction work to do. No, I'll keep the tattoos 410 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: away from my neck, away from my face. I can 411 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: wear a regular shirt and you can't really see tattoos. Yeah, 412 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: the biggest tattoo. But I have some great tattoo stories. 413 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: When I covered the NBA the one that blew me away, 414 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: like Tim Duncan, who was like wearing dad jeans. The 415 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: Spurs were playing like the Lakers, and I was interviewing 416 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: Duncan and he is changing his shirt and he had 417 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: this giant like tattoo or not giant it was. It 418 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: was relatively big. But you didn't expect Duncan to be 419 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: a tattoo guy. That was surprising. The greatest tattoo story 420 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: of them all was when Chris Ford, who just passed 421 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: away not that long ago, was was coaching the Clippers 422 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: and they had a guy that was at loggerheads with 423 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 1: Chris Ford and he got kicked out of practice and 424 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: I think it was Mikey Moore. Oh no, it was 425 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: not now and it was not Mikey. I mean, I know, 426 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be uh, I gotta remember it was not 427 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: Mikey Moore. There was another guy, Keith Closs with the 428 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: guy's name Keith Class. And this guy had some substance 429 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: abuse issues. He's cleaned his life up now. He was 430 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: a young guy, you know, make mistakes whatever. So he 431 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: went out and got a tattoo of the globe on 432 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: his back, his entire back, and above it he wrote 433 00:24:55,080 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: fuck the world on his back. Wow. Yeah, and as 434 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: a protest. That was quite the tattoo story. And I 435 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: think he was doing coaching, like basketball in the Philippines 436 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: or something like that. Last I heard anyway, more pop 437 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: quiz here, about thirty three percent of American adults have 438 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: one of these balls balls, balls, balls. I don't think 439 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: it's that much anymore. No, the answer is a criminal record, 440 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: not the kind of balls I like. Oh wow, thirty 441 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: three percent. Now what qualifies as a criminal record, Like, 442 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: what are we talking about, Like a felony? Felony? Oh, 443 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: that's got to be misdemeanors. You would think you would think, Yeah, 444 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,719 Speaker 1: does a speeding ticket count? I've had speeding tickets. I'm 445 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 1: I'm a criminal. No, you're not a criminal. All right. 446 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: Forty percent of us would like to change this about ourselves, 447 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: our faces. This is something that we both had to 448 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: would come I imagine at some point in our careers. 449 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: Our voice. Okay, people do not like their voice. Yeah, 450 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: because we're like movie actors. There's a lot of them 451 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: that don't like to see their work on the screen. 452 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: They love doing it, but they cringe when they watch themselves. 453 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: And just like that. For a lot of us on 454 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: the radio. We don't necessarily like to hear ourselves back. Yeah, 455 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: back in the old days, we don't usually do this 456 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: these days, at least I don't have to do it. 457 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: During the overnight show. We'd have air check meetings with 458 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: the boss, and that was just torture, brutal. Every little 459 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,199 Speaker 1: mistake you make or made would be blown out of 460 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: proportion by the boss. Yeah. And then I'm a bit 461 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: of a micromanager of my own ability, and I'd hear 462 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: stuff and I'd be like, oh, this, I should have 463 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: said something else. Why did I say that? You know? 464 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: Or the best part is when the boss is sitting 465 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: there next to you critiquing your work and you start 466 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: impersonating him on the radio. Yeah, yeah, that's always popular 467 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: as well. It doesn't sound like me, my man. Oh man, 468 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: I don't know why you think that's funny. My man, 469 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: I could fire your ass right now. So good you fired, 470 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 1: so wonderful. But we'll do one more, last one here. 471 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: Only two percent of Americans say they still use one 472 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: of these. Only two percent. What do you think it is, 473 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: Danny A toothbrush? Toothbrush that's that's in London. No, two 474 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: percent of Americans say they still use an old school 475 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: clock radio. Oh wow, lumber, that's a bummer for those 476 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: of us that work in radio. My Tinderoni actually ordered 477 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: one of those on Amazon a couple of months ago 478 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: because our twelve year old was not waking up from 479 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: the alarm on her iPhone for school. So she said, 480 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to torture you the way our parents tortured us. 481 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: I'm getting you a clock radio and it makes a 482 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: horrible sound and it's gonna wake you up. Did it work? Yeah, 483 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: it's been working. Yeah, you got the keys. You got 484 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: to put it away from arm's length at the bed 485 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: because if it's arms length, you just hit it. It's 486 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: like a buzzer. And then yeah you got you gotta 487 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: put it on the other side of the room usually 488 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: for that to work. All right, we'll get out on that. 489 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: Anything you want to promote here, you're you're done right, Well, 490 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: this Friday, so you are working today? You got oh 491 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: and you're working early? Yeah, I know.
