0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 2>If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 2>a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480
<v Speaker 2>of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:22.320

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Big Ben and Danny g Radio. Happy Saturday to you

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>as we slide into the twenty fourth day of August.

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know what you're having for breakfast today, Danny,

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>but it's National Waffle Day today, so celebrate appropriately.

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh. I love blueberry waffles.

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 1>You're all about the blueberry waffle. Yeah. I don't eat

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>breakfast food very often, but I don't reject waffles. I'm

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 1>a big fan of the waffle. Which, by the way,

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>fun fact, fun fact. We got to start the Saturday

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Pie with a fun fact. And the word waffle first

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>appeared in the English language in the seventeen hundreds. That

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>word goes back to seventeen twenty five, but it wasn't

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>until the eighteen sixties. Almost eighteen seventy eighteen sixty ninety

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:37.119
<v Speaker 1>exact year, someone named Cornelius Swarthout received the first waffle

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>iron patent in Troy, New York. So you can thank

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Cornelius for bringing the waffle to America. So congratulations to Cornelius.

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it's national an American hero.

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>He is real patriot, real patriot businessman. Over three quarters

0:01:55.800 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 1>of Americans love golden brown waffles, seventi percent. The region

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to take a guest, which region of the

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>US eats the most waffles.

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.800
<v Speaker 3>The most waffles, I'm gonna say at Atlanta.

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>You are well, you're correct. The South. Yeah, eighty one

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:19.079
<v Speaker 1>percent of Southerners say they love their waffles, and it's

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>it's everyone kind of likes it. The least popular place

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>for the waffles, like the Northeast. Those codres in the

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Northeast not big fans. But anyway, in this podcast, it

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>is said, I hope you heard the Friday podcast. I

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>was excited to bring Looney Tunes back. The big announcement

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Benny Penny is back season two. We're going national this

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>year on Peacock. We're still on regional cable television. On NBC,

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>but they're putting us on Peacock, so I'm very excited

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>about that. It's gonna be a fun season. You can

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>go back and hear that from yesterday's podcast with Looney

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.959
<v Speaker 1>Tunes as we broke it all down and just played

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>grab ass, I told the story Danny of Tom Looney

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>at the Big Power dinner that we had in Boston,

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>and Looney took about three hours to finish his broccoli.

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Everyone was done eating, we were all waiting for Looney

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>to finish, and it was he was eating like like

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>an old geezer, you old man. It was really really uncomfortable.

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 1>It was really it took forever, you know, and you

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.360
<v Speaker 1>want to be polite, but I also wanted to like

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>poke Looney in the arm and say, what are you doing?

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, we got places to go. We don't want

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to sit here and watch you eat broccoli. And it

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>reminded me of those old meetings we had at Fox

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>where we'd all agree not to ask any questions, get

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.839
<v Speaker 1>the meeting over with, and then Looney would inevitably ask

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>like fifteen questions at the end.

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, and you know, how to not be that

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 4>guy sitting at the table for that many hours with broccoli.

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>How's that?

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 3>Don't order frickin' broccoli. That's that's what I said.

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I told, I said, listen, they got so many great options.

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>We went to an expensive restaurant. We all got steak

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>because I'm not paying for it. Why I don't even

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>really like steak that much, but I'm not paying for it.

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Why not?

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>And Louie gets the side up broccoli. No, give me

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>this whole raps of well World on TV.

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 4>You know, if you got to have some greens, get

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 4>the fancy asparagus right next to the steak and the

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 4>mashed potatoes.

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:27.479
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, or just I guess it's really the cooking process, right,

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 1>If you get roasted and maybe you put some sauce

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.359
<v Speaker 1>or something on it, you can eat it. It's possible

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>to enjoy it. But that's not my domain. So on

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:40.039
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, we've got unleashed the power, offer up adulting,

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>the trident and whatever else pops up here. So we'll

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>begin with this. I have not one, but two or

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>two dogs. I got Moxie, who is an English bulldog,

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and Luigi, who is a combo dish of a French

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>bulldog and a pug. Otherwise no as a frog. And

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>so we've had these dugs for about a year. We

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:08.160
<v Speaker 1>lost our beloved Bella a year ago, and then we

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 1>waited a little while, not long, not long, picked up.

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Not too long before you replaced her.

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that's usually how it works. Maxie and we

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 1>went through the proper. We sat shiva. We were mourning

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 1>for a little bit, then we went and moved on.

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 1>But Maxi and Luigi, who I love them. However, I'm

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna say the word butt, which means I don't really

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:29.919
<v Speaker 1>love them, because when you say the word butt, everything

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>before the word butts a lie. So Maxie and Luigi

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>have an addiction to urinating as soon as they come

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 1>out of the Malar mansion, a little concrete in the back,

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:47.799
<v Speaker 1>and they immediately have to relieve their bladder. And over

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.480
<v Speaker 1>time it has become a bit of an issue because

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.359
<v Speaker 1>if you every single day, twice a day, if you

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>go out and you take care of your business right

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>there there, eventually becomes a bit of an odor becomes

0:05:58.960 --> 0:05:59.599
<v Speaker 1>an issue.

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 3>So I was.

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 1>Able, with the help of the wife there, to solve

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the problem here, Danny, we went on the interweb and

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 1>bought a power washer, a starter powerwasher.

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's an old guide purchase.

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel. Let me tell you something. I love it.

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I am so happy. I am embracing this because middle

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 1>age is great, Danny. Because I got a griddle which

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I love. That was a couple of years ago, a

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Blackstone griddle, which is just wonderful. And now I've got

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the next level powerwasher. It is amazing, and it really

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a starter. It's not like a high end one.

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.599
<v Speaker 1>It's not I can't go out and get commercial jobs

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>with it. It's not that much of a power washer.

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.679
<v Speaker 1>But it's wonderful what I need. It wasn't all that much.

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Very cool. I've been unable to unleash the power. I

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 1>was able to clean the concrete where the dogs have

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>been pissing up a storm. I even got carried away.

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I washed the front of the Malor mansion. I was

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>able to clean the blue malormobile Harvey liked. And this thing, Danny,

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>is like a professional car wash. They've got an attachment

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 1>that you can put the soap on it and it

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>sprays out like it's at the car wash. It's just

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful device, and I feel very productive. I feel

0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>very masculine with the powerwasher, split splash.

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 3>Your neighbors are like, get off our driveway.

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, I did get a little carried away this past

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 1>weekend because I was so excited to have this thing

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that I was trying to use it on all different

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, I want to see what it could clean.

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>And there's different attachments to it depending on how powerful

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 1>you want it to be. And you got to be

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 1>careful because you don't want to hurt yourself. You know,

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>it's so powerful that it could damage your skin if

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you put it right in your hand, right in front

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>of it. So I was just experimenting. It was like

0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>in Frankenstein's lab. I was just experimenting and messing around

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and all that. And I got carried away. And it

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>was kind of hot this past weekend here in the

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>south Land of southern California. And I'm a bit of

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>a vampire from doing the Overnight show. So I got

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a sunburn, a bit of a sunburn

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 1>on my legs and my arms. And because I was

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>out there and I didn't put any suntand lotion on,

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't like going to the beach or anything like that.

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.200
<v Speaker 1>And I lost track of time, and then I was like, oh.

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Man, is it a truckers tan?

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was a bad. It's not bad. You know,

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 1>no one sees me him at night and no one

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 1>no even noticed. But it was a little painful. The

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.680
<v Speaker 1>worst thing about the sunburn now is when you go

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 1>into the shower, the hot water just kill it. Stings

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>when you got a sunburn. Foh, drizzle, Oh it's bad.

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 1>What I should have done, Danny's I should have gone

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>on offer up and bought some suntan lotion or something.

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do that. I did not go on there.

0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 4>Good luck buying something as inexpensive as that on offer up,

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 4>because you know, usually if it's an item that's under

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 4>twenty dollars, people don't even want to make the trip

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.720
<v Speaker 4>to go pick up the item. So you know, offer

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 4>up is better for bigger or more expensive things that

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 4>you're trying to get rid of.

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Outdoor furniture. Well, you had the famous stor with your

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 1>son CoA, right, you went to buy a stroller. Was

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>it was that? What?

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:30.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Oh? That No, it was the skip pop remember.

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, yeah, I remember, I forget exactly, but I

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:33.959
<v Speaker 1>remember you were buying something for your side.

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that bouncer and the lady had Oh she had

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 4>spilled mango all over it. Remember it's like clean your

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 4>shit before you try to sell it. And to prove

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 4>my point on that there was a cat for sale.

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.959
<v Speaker 4>God help us all. Our teenage daughter wants a cat

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 4>for herself. We have one in the house with a doggie.

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 4>You were talking about your two dogs. Well, two days

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 4>ago I took her when I got home in the

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 4>evening from CNR, I took her to where a cat

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 4>was being sold. And supposedly it's like this twenty five

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:11.200
<v Speaker 4>hundred dollars British short hair. We walk inside this house

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 4>to visit the cat ben and it reaked of cat

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 4>piss inside their living room.

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh wonderful. That makes you really want to beat cat

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>right there.

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh bur all over their furniture, and that that scent

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 4>of cat piss has got to be one of the

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 4>top ten worst smells in the world. Once they pee

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 4>like that, if you don't get them spade or newter,

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 4>and then they start like the male starts spraying. Man,

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 4>you cannot get rid of that odor. Whatever they pee on,

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 4>you'll have to burn it. So that's one. That's one. Now,

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 4>she didn't find that on offer up that would have

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.280
<v Speaker 4>been too good. Everything on offer Up's even worse than

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.720
<v Speaker 4>that right now, So I have a few items on there,

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 4>and I keep getting these drive buys. It's so annoying

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 4>when you sell something on the offer up app. You

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:02.080
<v Speaker 4>go and you put old you market sold, and it

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 4>has you give Like this podcast, it has you give

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 4>five stars to the buyer if they're worthy, and the

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 4>seller vice versa, and it has you, you know, rate

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 4>the doing business with them that way.

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:14.719
<v Speaker 3>Everybody has kind of like.

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.439
<v Speaker 4>A little track record on their profile, so you know

0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 4>who you're dealing with. Well, I have right now one

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 4>of my e bikes for sale. Over the years, I

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 4>paid monthly on getting two of these suckers. One was

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.200
<v Speaker 4>a city bike that I bought in Burbank, and then

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 4>when I moved outside of La in the San Fernando

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 4>Valley here where we're at, there's all these hills and

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 4>the city bike just won't work on these hills, so

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 4>I needed the fat tire.

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.000
<v Speaker 3>Have you seen those e bikes with the fat tires?

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, those are the way to go there.

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's one of the big reasons for me having

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 4>problems selling the other e bike. I have the city

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.320
<v Speaker 4>e bike for sale and nobody wants it. Ben it

0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 4>is a beautiful thousand dollars bike. I'm trying to sell

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:02.679
<v Speaker 4>it for not even half that price.

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.559
<v Speaker 1>It's not fat enough. They want they want to exactly.

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 4>I've had two customers come test right it and they're like, Wow,

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 4>what a beautiful bike. But you know what, it just

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 4>doesn't happen the pickup I was looking for in the

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:18.479
<v Speaker 4>in the tires. They don't want bikes, they want mopeds,

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 4>they want motorcycles.

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Well listen, you know, you know where I live in

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the north Woods, and every fricking kid around here it

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 1>is like a moped. It's like a motorcycle. It's insane.

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I I mean I back in I on want to

0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 1>be old guy back in my day, but I was like,

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>we drove bikes around. We thought we were going fast

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 1>going down a hill. But these guys are going like

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 1>forty five miles an hour on a bike.

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 4>In the city bike. It's not some weeny thing. It's

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 4>not some flimsy ten speed. It's called a stealth Hurricane.

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 4>It's a thick, well made bike, but it's got the

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 4>city tires on it. Eyeamn, the max speed with the

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.959
<v Speaker 4>pedal assist is like twenty five, twenty six miles per hour.

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 4>These kids and youngsters who are buying bikes, they want

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 4>bikes that go forty five miles per hour, which aren't

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 4>even street legal. By the way, you need a special

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.760
<v Speaker 4>license for that. But do you think any of these

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 4>people are getting the license.

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go no for a thousand Hell no.

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 4>If the cops wanted to be dicks, they could pull

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 4>all these fat tire kids over and give them tickets.

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.320
<v Speaker 4>Now I've struck out twice with people test writing it.

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 4>I get one guy just a week ago who said,

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 4>he writes, this is where the Lebron James violin music

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 4>should come in. He writes me a sad note about

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 4>how his car was in a minor accident and it's

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 4>on the shelf right now. He can't even drive to

0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 4>Sherman Oaks. He needs me to drive the bike to

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.239
<v Speaker 4>him in Santa Monica.

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:57.199
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, no bueno. He says.

0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.880
<v Speaker 4>He is taking ubers and getting rides from coworkers to

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.440
<v Speaker 4>get to his job right now. But to hang on

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.439
<v Speaker 4>and I hear the violin again. He feels bad though,

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 4>because if I come all the way to Santa Monica.

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 4>What if it's not a good match in a red

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 4>flag right now and offer up. When anybody says I

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 4>want to see if it's a good match or not,

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:18.600
<v Speaker 4>that means they're not going to buy it.

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so what we don't even bother, right and move on.

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 1>That's it.

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm good, Yeah, I'm I'm to the point right now.

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 4>And no, I did not drive the bike to Santa

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 4>Monica yesterday. He wanted me to take it there Friday afternoon.

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 3>I didn't do it. He's like, after your shift, can

0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 3>you come.

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm yeah, I'm going to sit in traffic for two

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 4>hours to bring a bike to you that you probably

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 4>will test drive and then say, yeah, the tires aren't

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:44.760
<v Speaker 4>fat enough.

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just tell him to send you like forty bucks

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 1>per gas or something you'll drive out there.

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Well, if this guy can't even fix his car,

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 3>chances yeah. Yeah.

0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 4>And that's the other thing you get all these lowballers

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 4>on there. He already was trying to cut the price

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.800
<v Speaker 4>down by forty bucks. I'm like, so you're offering me

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 4>forty less than what I'm listening it for and you

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.720
<v Speaker 4>want me to drive all the way to you. I

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 4>don't know, I'm close to retiring my offer up career.

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 1>That sucks.

0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 3>I might just take weekend trips to the city to

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:20.880
<v Speaker 3>have an excuse to ride the city bike.

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.560
<v Speaker 1>There you go, Well maybe when Co is old. By

0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the time Co is old enough to ride that thing,

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 1>that thing will be uh out extinct.

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, by the time he gets to a bike, they'll

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.359
<v Speaker 4>probably be flying jetson's bikes.

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, we did talk about that it is legal

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 1>not have flying flying cars, so flying bikes that's that's

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:47.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen. So I mentioned the unleashed the power I

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 1>get this power washer up and futzing around with that.

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Also we asked the question is there a gardener in house?

0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 1>We noticed in the back that there's a lot of

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 1>flooding going on behind the mall mach and while we

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 1>were doing some adulting this past weekend in addition to

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the powerwasher, and it was pointed out we talked about

0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>this in the past on this podcast that Moxie, our bulldog,

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:18.480
<v Speaker 1>loves water and loves attacking any source of water, which

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 1>includes sprinklers, and so we noticed Moxie's been eating several

0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 1>sprinklers and so there has been at one point water

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 1>going in the air everywhere a massive geyser style courtesy

0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.280
<v Speaker 1>of our dog Moxie. So we addressed the fountain in

0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.600
<v Speaker 1>the yard, and we made several trips to Home Depot,

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>multiple multiple stops fixing sprinklers. Now this is something that

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>thanks to YouTube is possible. I believe prior to YouTube

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 1>it was impossible, Danny, but we've been able to fix

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the sprinklers because of these YouTube videos. And if you

0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 1>get someone who's like a professional to do it, like

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a guard, they charge you like eighty ninety bucks or

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 1>something like that. But you can buy the sprinkler for

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.920
<v Speaker 1>like ten fifteen bucks and do it yourself and save

0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.200
<v Speaker 1>seventy or eighty bucks, depending on how much they try

0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 1>to price gouge you. And it's real easy, Like it's

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.479
<v Speaker 1>real simple. You just seed a couple of things from

0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.480
<v Speaker 1>from Home Depot or Low's or whatever your local store is.

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 1>And so we were doing that and very productive, you know,

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.719
<v Speaker 1>the powerwasher, the fixing the sprinklers and all that. So

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 1>that was good. And then as far as the radio

0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 1>show this past week, it was wonderful to have our

0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 1>friend Robbie the Marger fan came by. You might have

0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 1>seen some photos.

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.360
<v Speaker 3>Rob I was just gonna say I saw the pictures.

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Robbie's a great guy. He lives in Oregon, actually

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.119
<v Speaker 1>not in Seattle, but he's in the Pacific Northwest. He

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.120
<v Speaker 1>loves his Seattle Mariners. He has been a loyal minion

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:56.840
<v Speaker 1>since you were on the show, Danny, back in the day.

0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Robbie's been with the show a long time. And I

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 1>met him him back in twenty nineteen before the pandemic,

0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 1>and we were at the Seattle Meet and greed. It

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.480
<v Speaker 1>was was great, and then Robbie was there hanging out

0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.560
<v Speaker 1>with us. We had a fine time and he I

0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.200
<v Speaker 1>told him, I said, listen, you ever get to La

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and let me know, I'll give you the tour of

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Fox Sports Radio. And it only took five years, but

0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.360
<v Speaker 1>he showed up this week and he was very excited

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the VIP tour of the mothership, Fox Sports Radio's headquarters

0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.200
<v Speaker 1>there and it was great. Dan. I was walking around,

0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I felt like I was a tour

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:36.439
<v Speaker 1>guide at Universal Studios, like I said, I might. Walking through.

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm all right, well over here is where the cockroaches are, right,

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.280
<v Speaker 1>that's right there, there's several cockroaches died right there, and

0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:44.320
<v Speaker 1>then I'm like, this is where the ghost of Casey

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Casem is right over here. This is where he used

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.439
<v Speaker 1>to do his Top forty Countdown show. I'm sick and

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.360
<v Speaker 1>tired of doing it. Coming in on an upbeat song

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.240
<v Speaker 1>and I got to do a death dedication for a

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 1>goddamn dog. I'm singing, you know, do that? Holy so

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Casey case his little booth is there, and pointed out

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.880
<v Speaker 1>to to Robbie where wrong button Bob turned the network

0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.880
<v Speaker 1>off the air. The rack room.

0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.879
<v Speaker 4>That's the fun fact, fun fact. Can I get the

0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:11.200
<v Speaker 4>Ohio Al sounder?

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, go ahead, Ohio, I'll give it to me, Ohio Al.

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 4>And you got to add this to your tour ben

0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.639
<v Speaker 4>That rack room used to be where the kitchen was

0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:27.520
<v Speaker 4>when it was a Denny's.

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Dummy, I did not know that.

0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:31.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was the kitchen area.

0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Yeah, I try not to go in there. There's

0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 1>cameras in now. I don't know where they go, but

0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.919
<v Speaker 1>there's cameras in there. But I don't want to hit

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 1>the wrong button. If wrong button Bob hit it, I

0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:43.879
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be wrong button Benny. I don't want that,

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 1>so I don't I don't go in there. I showed

0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 1>uh where I show Robbie the old studio, pointed out

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the old studio. He could not believe how far away

0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Eddie and the Update people were from the main studio.

0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:57.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I showed him the fountain across the street where Eddie

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:04.719
<v Speaker 1>stood there like a jack wagon in the fountain. We

0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.920
<v Speaker 1>pointed out the Whole Foods about a block away where

0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:10.840
<v Speaker 1>all the celebrities shop, right Danny Big Oh, Yeah.

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 4>Did he see the famous l Toyo Loco where I

0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 4>ate chicken with mister t Oh?

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I don't know. I mean we drove by it,

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 1>so he might have seen it. I pointed out where

0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:24.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the homeless there like to do their drugs,

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and that little fire escape on the side of the building.

0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:29.159
<v Speaker 1>When you leave the parking garage.

0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:30.840
<v Speaker 3>There a bunch of hookers and cocaine.

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I pointed out that many a night I have seen

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 1>people in there shooting things into their veins as I've

0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 1>been driving around. So it was the VIP to. It

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.600
<v Speaker 1>was great. Robbie seemed to really enjoy it. It was fun.

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 1>We put him on the air for a little bit

0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and it was great. I also took a bunch of

0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:49.080
<v Speaker 1>crap this week, Danny, because I was asked by the

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:53.119
<v Speaker 1>company to sit in with Rob Parker. I need a

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:53.800
<v Speaker 1>cole shower.

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:55.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah.

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 4>You came on right after the Covino and Rich show,

0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.439
<v Speaker 4>so I heard at least the first half hour of

0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:01.480
<v Speaker 4>you blabbing with Rob.

0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, hanging it out with Rob. And they asked me

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 1>to sit in. And they usually asked me maybe three

0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.800
<v Speaker 1>or four times a year, not regularly, rare and appropriate

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:14.840
<v Speaker 1>and inevitably what happens when I am not on the

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.879
<v Speaker 1>normal post overnight, they gave me the night off and

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I sat in with Rob and it's it was great.

0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Rob was really kissing your ass on the air.

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't think enough. But Rob was very nice.

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 1>It was it was fun, and man, is it easier.

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I forgot how easy it is to do a three

0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:33.439
<v Speaker 1>hour show compared to a four hour show. It's like,

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:37.200
<v Speaker 1>holy crap, this is such an easier world that fourth hour.

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Not that four hours is hard, mind you, but when

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:43.159
<v Speaker 1>you go from using four hours of airtime to three hours,

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:47.680
<v Speaker 1>it's like, oh my god, it's a whole different world. Perfect.

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:49.879
<v Speaker 1>So that was that was kind of cool. I was like,

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:51.680
<v Speaker 1>we were getting ready for I was getting ready for

0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 1>hour four. I was like, the show's over, Like I'm

0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:56.560
<v Speaker 1>ready for another hour. I mean, I don't know what

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 1>is this.

0:21:57.800 --> 0:21:59.639
<v Speaker 4>That's how we feel when we fill in for the

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:03.960
<v Speaker 4>Dan Patrick Show. We're like a third hour, three hours,

0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:06.160
<v Speaker 4>and in that third hour we're like, man, we should

0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:07.000
<v Speaker 4>be home already.

0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, you're used to your your routine and

0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and but but yeah, I know it was it was fun.

0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:13.760
<v Speaker 1>We had a good time.

0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:17.280
<v Speaker 3>Did you guys actually get into it over any topics?

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:20.120
<v Speaker 1>No, it was we We didn't really fight too much,

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:22.399
<v Speaker 1>and usually what we fight about is baseball. There was

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:27.639
<v Speaker 1>there really wasn't anything juicy in baseball that really really

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.560
<v Speaker 1>got going. We we did debate Russell Wilson. That was

0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:34.679
<v Speaker 1>the one that resonated with the insers who and they

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:38.399
<v Speaker 1>got pretty upset with me, which is annoying because it's

0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:40.200
<v Speaker 1>it's one of these things that we have to deal

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:44.640
<v Speaker 1>with in sports radio where you know you're right and

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the people on the other side are just being fanboys

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.359
<v Speaker 1>and they're delusional and they're you know, fan is short

0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:53.040
<v Speaker 1>for fanatic and all that, and like they're they're really

0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to upsell Russell Wilson. They were given me the

0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 1>whole arguments like well, you know, twenty six touchdowns and

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:01.200
<v Speaker 1>it or someven because my whole point it was that

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 1>this is not an upgrade. If Russell Wilson is indeed

0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:06.919
<v Speaker 1>the starter in Pittsburgh, this is a lateral move. You

0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:09.280
<v Speaker 1>might as well have kept Kenny Pickett. And they were

0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:11.120
<v Speaker 1>getting so upset. They thought this was like the most

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 1>outrageous thing, being a shock jocking. So I knew I

0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:19.240
<v Speaker 1>was right, and I was like, okay, I'll let you

0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:21.879
<v Speaker 1>be an idiot, let you be all emotional and ver

0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:26.000
<v Speaker 1>klempt Oh. Russell Wilson's great. You know you said he

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:30.240
<v Speaker 1>was good at one point. Great, And I'm thinking of myself.

0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:34.400
<v Speaker 1>He's never ever gotten a single vote for the Most

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Valuable Player Award. Don't you think maybe one of those years,

0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:40.080
<v Speaker 1>if he was great, he would have gotten I don't know,

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:43.600
<v Speaker 1>one vote for the MVP award. Possibly, Like he has

0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 1>as many votes as you listening have, Danny and me,

0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 1>all of us, that's it, you know, as many votes

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:55.000
<v Speaker 1>for the MVP. We have as many as Russell Wilson.

0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:57.680
<v Speaker 1>The mother of all stats, which I was very proud.

0:23:58.040 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I dug deep in the rabbit hole.

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:00.439
<v Speaker 3>On this one, Danny.

0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:06.080
<v Speaker 1>So, last season, Russell Wilson in Denver had twenty six

0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 1>touchdown passes and eight interceptions, So those numbers look pretty good.

0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, those are misleading numbers, you know.

0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I was pointing out that that's not really an accurate

0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:20.880
<v Speaker 1>reflection of his performance. And it was going through all that,

0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and I then stumbled on this mother of all stats,

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:29.760
<v Speaker 1>which I'm very proud of, very very proud of. So

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:34.800
<v Speaker 1>with Russell Wilson in Denver last year, the Broncos passing

0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:39.920
<v Speaker 1>offense ranked twenty fourth in the NFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers,

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:45.080
<v Speaker 1>who mostly had Kenny Pickett, finished twenty fifth in passing offense.

0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:49.960
<v Speaker 1>The difference between the Russell Wilson led Broncos and the

0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Pickett led Steelers was two point nine yards per

0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 1>game difference between the Broncos and Steelers. So that's within

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the margin everver. So I point this out of and

0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>what do you think the Steeler fans do?

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, it doesn't matter.

0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 1>You're just giving numbers, of course, and you give me

0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 1>numbers back at me. The twenty six and eight, you

0:25:08.000 --> 0:25:10.920
<v Speaker 1>give me those numbers. Russell Wilson has been sucking for

0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:14.479
<v Speaker 1>at least three years, and I look forward to his

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:18.359
<v Speaker 1>failure in Pittsburgh. I like Mike Tomlin, but there they'll

0:25:18.400 --> 0:25:20.679
<v Speaker 1>win some games because of their defensive special teams, but

0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:23.120
<v Speaker 1>not because of Russell Wilson. And so we we got.

0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 4>Did you celebrate after you made that point? Did you

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:28.879
<v Speaker 4>grab your junk like Jesse Winker of the Mets?

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:32.919
<v Speaker 1>When he was You know what I did? I dotted

0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:35.199
<v Speaker 1>the eye like the Ohio State marching bat. I I

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:38.119
<v Speaker 1>doubt that. Yeah, yes, what's he gonna do?

0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:41.480
<v Speaker 3>You did the move and you're like, lateral bitches.

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 1>What's he gonna do if he ends up? Jesse went,

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:47.040
<v Speaker 1>you're hitting a home run in a playoff game because

0:25:47.040 --> 0:25:49.800
<v Speaker 1>he's You can't get more over the top than what

0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:52.000
<v Speaker 1>he did hitting a home run against the Baltimore Memorials.

0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:53.720
<v Speaker 1>So what's he gonna do if you it's a home

0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:57.920
<v Speaker 1>run in a in a big spot, in a playoff game.

0:25:58.280 --> 0:25:59.720
<v Speaker 3>This was a regular season game.

0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:01.560
<v Speaker 4>I know the Mets are trying to chase that last

0:26:01.560 --> 0:26:05.640
<v Speaker 4>wildcard spot, but he said he blocked out. You're right,

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:07.880
<v Speaker 4>what's gonna happen if he's on a bigger stage?

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, good luck on that? Are we have the idiom

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:18.440
<v Speaker 1>of the the idiom of the week. It's an email

0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:22.280
<v Speaker 1>from our friend Sarah in Minnesota, and Sarah says, hey,

0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Ben and Danny, this phrase has bugged me for a

0:26:24.320 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>long time. Push it back, which actually means to push

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:32.679
<v Speaker 1>it forward by some amount. Why it makes no sense

0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:35.879
<v Speaker 1>to me? Think of another saying turning back the hands

0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 1>of time. We all know that means to go back

0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 1>in time. Why does push it back mean to go forward?

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 1>She says? Thanks guys. Sarah from Minnesota says Ben. By

0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the way, we met you at the mal Or Meet

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:50.840
<v Speaker 1>and greet in Minnesota last May, and we still wear

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:56.119
<v Speaker 1>our purple shirts from that event. Well, thank you.

0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:58.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, that's the event where you were kind of

0:26:58.240 --> 0:26:59.879
<v Speaker 4>in a bad mood at first because you had just

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:01.159
<v Speaker 4>got a speeding ticket.

0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, on my way on my way to the event,

0:27:03.640 --> 0:27:07.040
<v Speaker 1>I got pulled over by the Minnesota state trooper. But yes,

0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I do remember meeting you, Sarah, and it was great.

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 1>We had a great time. But here's the problem, though, Sarah,

0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I went deep into the dark web to try to

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:20.840
<v Speaker 1>find the origins of push it back, and I failed you.

0:27:21.160 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I could not find anything. You have stumped me. So

0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:27.359
<v Speaker 1>if anyone listening here, if you listening, has the answer

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to push it back, Like I've I've heard it. That's

0:27:30.040 --> 0:27:31.879
<v Speaker 1>like a cheer if you go to a high school

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:34.720
<v Speaker 1>football game, push it back, push it back, right, isn't

0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:36.240
<v Speaker 1>that one of the cheers the cheerleaders do.

0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:39.960
<v Speaker 4>It was also a big hit by Salt and Peppa.

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah that too, but it was like defense, push

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:46.479
<v Speaker 1>it back, push back. It sounds like a high school,

0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:49.919
<v Speaker 1>high school thing, so I could I couldn't find that.

0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:50.120
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:52.800
<v Speaker 1>The idiom that we are going to use here is

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:56.479
<v Speaker 1>chip on your shoulder. You ever used that? Hey, this

0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:58.399
<v Speaker 1>guy's got a chip on his shoulder, right, you know

0:27:58.440 --> 0:28:01.359
<v Speaker 1>that guy over? That guy a schmuck, it's got a

0:28:01.480 --> 0:28:02.400
<v Speaker 1>chip on his shoulder.

0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:04.360
<v Speaker 3>Gotta be right.

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I guess from freed Ola. It's the Freeto Bandito

0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:12.720
<v Speaker 1>came up with it. Actually, no, the term to have

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 1>a chip on your shoulder originated in the eighteenth century

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the British royal dockyards. Now, the way this works, the

0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:25.639
<v Speaker 1>legend goes that way back in the eighteenth century, the

0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:29.240
<v Speaker 1>fellas working on the ship they were called ship rights,

0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:34.360
<v Speaker 1>and the people that employed them through them a solid

0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:37.919
<v Speaker 1>They were permitted to carry chips pieces of wood for

0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:43.080
<v Speaker 1>fuel or building. They could carry some chips home on

0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:53.200
<v Speaker 1>their shoulders, and the meaning first appeared in a play.

0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 1>The phrase also reported to be originated the modern version

0:28:57.640 --> 0:29:03.320
<v Speaker 1>from the nineteenth century and the practice for a fight.

0:29:04.200 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 1>If you wanted to engage in a fight, supposedly you

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 1>carry a chip of wood on your shoulder and you

0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 1>dare someone like, hey, Danny, I dare you to knock

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:16.360
<v Speaker 1>this off my shoulder? I dare you, you know, and

0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, chip on your shoulder, and then somebody would

0:29:18.720 --> 0:29:21.280
<v Speaker 1>try to knock it off, and then you'd engage in

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:24.800
<v Speaker 1>a fight. I think the British the British shipyard once

0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:28.640
<v Speaker 1>seems more more viable to me, or more viable. But

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 1>those are the two origin stories for chip on the shoulder.

0:29:34.160 --> 0:29:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I think we'll get out on that. Danny. It is Saturday.

0:29:37.040 --> 0:29:38.680
<v Speaker 1>You got anything going on today? What do you got

0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:39.200
<v Speaker 1>in your world?

0:29:39.680 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 4>Well, after I finished producing this fine podcast, got to

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:45.800
<v Speaker 4>sit my big butt down in front of the TV

0:29:45.880 --> 0:29:48.120
<v Speaker 4>and watch Florida State at Georgia Tech.

0:29:48.840 --> 0:29:53.680
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, can you believe it's time for

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 3>college football?

0:29:55.000 --> 0:29:58.440
<v Speaker 4>And then in just what a short week, in a

0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:00.000
<v Speaker 4>few days NFL.

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, we've got college football this weekend. Next weekend,

0:30:04.240 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 1>college football has the full slate because the NFL is dark.

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:11.400
<v Speaker 1>And then the week after that it starts on Thursday night,

0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs and Ravens, I believe is the first game. I

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 1>think that's the first game of the NFL season. All right,

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:21.959
<v Speaker 1>very good. I will be hanging out, schmoozing around, messing

0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:26.200
<v Speaker 1>with my powerwasher, and probably doing something on the griddle.

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:30.560
<v Speaker 1>But I have a wonderful, wonderful rest of your Saturday,

0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:32.840
