Speaker 1: Ka boom boom. If you thought four hours a day,
Speaker 1: minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House

Speaker 1: Did I do that right? Danny? Today? Oh man, it
Speaker 1: felt like Santa was in my living room right here. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I want to point out before we get going on
Speaker 1: the podcast, Danny, that it is the most frustrating thing
Speaker 1: to me. Now you know that I'm a man of
Speaker 1: my word. When I say I sucked garlic to get
Speaker 1: over illness, I'm not lying, right. So this week I
Speaker 1: was a little on the weather, so I went to
Speaker 1: had somebody go to the store pick up some garlic
Speaker 1: and and during the show, I'm in studio here and
Speaker 1: I have this plate right and it's it's got a
Speaker 1: little pieces of garlic, which is which is my medicine.
Speaker 1: And I'll let you in on a little inside radio things.
Speaker 1: So the other night I was doing a read for
Speaker 1: tire rack dot com and my voice started wavering a
Speaker 1: little bit. Oh boy, so I went dev con one.
Speaker 1: I immediately I went to the garlic and I started
Speaker 1: sucking that garlic like a jolly Roger, And within five
Speaker 1: minutes I got my voice back where I was able
Speaker 1: to function on the show again. So, well, the thing
Speaker 1: that's upsetting them me Danny's I I tell people, I
Speaker 1: run into people, I learntder the weather, I'm sick whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like, I got the perfect thing for you. And
Speaker 1: I explained to them the garden, the raw garlic, and
Speaker 1: they look at me like I'm speaking Klingon or something
Speaker 1: like that, like what's wrong with you? You lose there.
Speaker 1: I am such a radio loser. It's just crazy. So anyway,
Speaker 1: I just want to complain about that. We have nerd
Speaker 1: Tastic Jump Around Dr Seuss, Market Research, Pop Goes the
Speaker 1: Culture Backscratcher. This is like a jam packed edition. It's
Speaker 1: amazing content here. Dude, We're like a real podcast. How

Speaker 1: Where we gave out one of those things and said
Speaker 1: you gotta donate money before we somebody found out we
Speaker 1: were doing it, Like somebody would rat us out immediately,
Speaker 1: blind Scott, he would, he would rat us out, that weasel.
Speaker 1: All right, our our lead here on the fifth hour,
Speaker 1: It's a Life of Mallard, Life of Danny g So
Speaker 1: the postgame show of the holiday party heard round the
Speaker 1: radio world, titled The Mallardpalooza Ugly Sweater Party two was
Speaker 1: a rollicking good time. Was so great to have everyone
Speaker 1: I know. We had a Halloween party a while ago,
Speaker 1: which was not that long ago, but the The Ugly
Speaker 1: Sweater Party a huge success. It was great at absolute blast.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone else had a good time,
Speaker 1: but talking old radio stories, a bunch of people that
Speaker 1: I've worked with years ago when I was like a kid,
Speaker 1: I was like nineteen years old. These are some of
Speaker 1: the people. That's how far back it goes. I'm out
Speaker 1: of old fart and uh and you know some of
Speaker 1: these guys are older dudes now, and I just love
Speaker 1: talking shop. It was for me. It was like chicken
Speaker 1: soup for the soul. Is that Looney Tunes guy would say?
Speaker 1: But it was really awesome. It was slightly this orderly, rowdy, wicked,
Speaker 1: all of that, and I spent a lot of my time.
Speaker 1: I held court in the in the back there of
Speaker 1: the Mallard mansion, behind the main house. There, I was
Speaker 1: in the fire pit area and we were all telling
Speaker 1: telling old shaggy dog stories about radio, which I love.
Speaker 1: I love hearing the I'm a loser. I love these
Speaker 1: stories and the crazy stuff that's happened on the air
Speaker 1: off the air, and there's some wild stuff. Most of
Speaker 1: it happened prior to like fifteen years ago, but it's
Speaker 1: it's nuts and I actually almost overdosed because it was
Speaker 1: a from a radio perspective, it was nerd tastic. And
Speaker 1: one story I would like to share with the class.
Speaker 1: I almost spit my beer out on this, Danny, and
Speaker 1: I wonder, I wonder if you've heard this. It involves Now,
Speaker 1: is it true that Larry King, the late Larry King,
Speaker 1: icon of radio man, Larry King got taken to the
Speaker 1: cleaners by a phony phone call that caused his entire
Speaker 1: net work to go into pandemonium on his overnight show.
Speaker 1: If you heard this story before, I've never heard about this.
Speaker 1: It's like great. I never heard this one either. And
Speaker 1: when I heard this, I was dying. I was like,
Speaker 1: tell me again, tell me, I got the little kid,
Speaker 1: you know, a little baby. I tell me again. So
Speaker 1: this actually involves another big name in radio, although he's
Speaker 1: pretty much retired at this point, Tom Likes, who had
Speaker 1: a very successful career as a talk shows there's a
Speaker 1: shock jock on FM radio and AM radio back in
Speaker 1: the day. And so the legend is as was told
Speaker 1: to me by somebody in the know, and I will
Speaker 1: not I will I will cover up for the guilty. Um.
Speaker 1: So he told told me the story. He said like
Speaker 1: it pulled the greatest phony phone call of all time.
Speaker 1: Not it was not a Boba booy call or anything
Speaker 1: like that. This is a hum dinger, humdinger of a
Speaker 1: story that I would like to share with the class.
Speaker 1: So so let's sake in the hot Tip time machine.
Speaker 1: It's the early nineteen eighties, so it's a whole different world.
Speaker 1: And Larry King is the He is the king of
Speaker 1: of overnight radio that you know I do overnight. He
Speaker 1: was the king of overnight radio. And Tom Likeas, who
Speaker 1: was a budding radio man and had his own career,
Speaker 1: was not big name and radio at that time. Likeas
Speaker 1: calls Larry King up. Now, Larry had his show on
Speaker 1: the Mutual Broadcasting Systems alright, so that was the network,
Speaker 1: and Likes had recorded the network tone that Mutual Broadcast
Speaker 1: Systems used, and Likes calls into Larry King, Hi, Larry uh,
Speaker 1: And they have a brief back and forth and Larry
Speaker 1: was kind of slow on the uptake even back then,
Speaker 1: and Tom Likes played he played the Mutual Broadcasting Systems
Speaker 1: tone on his call. So what happened next? I'll let
Speaker 1: you in on a little inside radio how this used
Speaker 1: to work. He doesn't work this one anymore, so I
Speaker 1: can say it. So that tone sent hundreds of automated
Speaker 1: radio stage sans into an immediate commercial break in the
Speaker 1: middle the middle, in the middle of Larry King show,
Speaker 1: they go to commercial break. Larry was he was dumb struck.
Speaker 1: He didn't know what to do, he didn't know what
Speaker 1: had happened. It took him a couple of minutes to
Speaker 1: realize what had happened. And uh, it was just the
Speaker 1: the idea that God that I don't know. But I'm
Speaker 1: told there is a clip that is on YouTube. I
Speaker 1: tried to find it and I could not find it.
Speaker 1: Now the person that told me the story swears that
Speaker 1: there is a clip and as of a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, it was on YouTube. So I typed in
Speaker 1: like us and Larry King, and I did not find
Speaker 1: anything that matched up to that. But if anyone, I'm
Speaker 1: talking to you as a listener, if you can find this, boy,
Speaker 1: you'd be my hero for the day. If you could
Speaker 1: send that to me. I want to watch this and
Speaker 1: so I just and I I saw you light up,
Speaker 1: Danny when you heard that story. Right, this is anybody
Speaker 1: that's been doing what we do for a living. You
Speaker 1: hear that story and it's just the greatest thing you've
Speaker 1: ever heard. Just the the amount of chaos that in
Speaker 1: that little cartoon bubble in my head, I imagine Larry
Speaker 1: King and his producer and his engineer went through as
Speaker 1: they tried to tried to figure out how to get
Speaker 1: the affiliates back. Oh, it's it's just so great. It's
Speaker 1: so good because when we were kids, there were a
Speaker 1: lot of radio wars, like you got a lot of
Speaker 1: mob pops, you had a lot of medium sized broadcasting groups.
Speaker 1: It wasn't these huge conglomerates like there are nowadays in
Speaker 1: any given city. You had all these little radio wars
Speaker 1: going on. And I had a general manager in particular
Speaker 1: who loved that kind of stuff, and so he was
Speaker 1: always fucking with a competition. And I have stories for
Speaker 1: days that came out of that market when I was
Speaker 1: a kid. Some of the stories unbelievable, the great lengths
Speaker 1: that our staff went to just to screw the other stations.
Speaker 1: So when I hear a story like that, man, there's
Speaker 1: so much appreciation. Yeah it is. I mean, we're just
Speaker 1: a couple of old radio guys and so that I mean,
Speaker 1: so I don't know that anybody like newer in the
Speaker 1: business would appreciate it. It was a different time, but
Speaker 1: I was involved in that. When I first got in
Speaker 1: back in the nineties, we had we still had those
Speaker 1: things going on and all that. So it was wild
Speaker 1: and crazy it's enough. When I heard that story, I
Speaker 1: wanted to jump around, Danny, I really well, I did.
Speaker 1: I wanted to. I was so happy. I was like,
Speaker 1: tell me again, tell me again. It was crazy. Can
Speaker 1: I do we have time for me to tell you
Speaker 1: one story that we did against the competition? Yeah? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I would. I love I love old radio stories. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So there were two big country stations in the market
Speaker 1: that I was in as a kid, and I was
Speaker 1: coming from hip hop music. I didn't know much about
Speaker 1: country music at the time, but in the same Troll
Speaker 1: Valley of California, there's two music genres that were really loved,
Speaker 1: hip hop and country, but the big stations were country.
Speaker 1: And at the time it was the big Garth Brooks
Speaker 1: explosion and all of that. So you had a fifty
Speaker 1: thousand watch station, which I was working on, and it
Speaker 1: was like the more top forty aggressive version of the format.
Speaker 1: And then you had the older, standard hit country station
Speaker 1: that had been in the market for a long time
Speaker 1: and they were called K Mix. K Mix. Staff from there,
Speaker 1: including me, left to go to the more progressive station.
Speaker 1: So now I'm on this new, more popping station. Me
Speaker 1: and the staff are having fun, and that's where that
Speaker 1: general manager was that I mentioned a little bit ago,
Speaker 1: any time we could stick it to K Mix. This
Speaker 1: guy loved it. I mean, this guy salivated over screw
Speaker 1: in the competition. So I'm in there on an overnight
Speaker 1: bend with a buddy of mine who also did overnights
Speaker 1: at the station, and the two of us together came
Speaker 1: up with a quick idea. There was a country artist
Speaker 1: coming to the fair grounds there and his name was
Speaker 1: Ricky Van Shelton. We devised a plan where I was
Speaker 1: going to be the record company rep and he was
Speaker 1: Ricky Van Shelton. He called the overnight DJ. We called
Speaker 1: the overnight DJ at K Mix, and I researched. I
Speaker 1: found out the record label's name, and I made up
Speaker 1: like a business name. We called, and I told the guy, Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm so and so from Capitol Records or whatever it was.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know, we were supposed to have
Speaker 1: called earlier today so you could get liners from Mr
Speaker 1: Ricky Van Shelton, but his schedule didn't cooperate. So if
Speaker 1: it's okay with you, I know it's late, but he'd
Speaker 1: like to read these liners for you. And this weekend
Speaker 1: DJ at K Mix fan was so excited. He's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, yeah, yeah, I'll record the liners. You know.
Speaker 1: He's like, hang on, hang on, let me get everything ready,
Speaker 1: and he's like, Okay, go ahead, and I'm like hang on.
Speaker 1: So I hold hand the phone to my buddy and
Speaker 1: he's like, Hey, this is Ricky Van Shelton. Now, Ben,
Speaker 1: in these K Mix liners were a cat country their
Speaker 1: K mix, So in the liners, he's like, this is
Speaker 1: Ricky Van Shelton. You're listening to K Mix country. The
Speaker 1: cats me out. So in every liner he did, he
Speaker 1: put some kind of cat reference in there because that
Speaker 1: was our station. This DJ was so dumb and so
Speaker 1: naive that he took these liners. I got back on
Speaker 1: the phone to make it all professional and thanked them
Speaker 1: on one of the monitors in our building. We tuned
Speaker 1: into their station and we're just waiting, praying that he's
Speaker 1: gonna play one of these liners. Stir enough, Ben, we hear, Hey,
Speaker 1: this is Ricky Van Shelton and you're listening that's me
Speaker 1: out and he goes into he plays that into a
Speaker 1: Ricky Van Shelton song, and I swear to God, Ben,
Speaker 1: we were dying, laughing, rolling on the floor of our
Speaker 1: radio station. And when our general manager found out what
Speaker 1: we did, he called us both in his office and
Speaker 1: he gave both of us two dollar raises. Oh there
Speaker 1: you go, a little raise out of it, and you know, hey,
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound like a lot, but when you're a
Speaker 1: weekend DJ at a radio station, that that was a
Speaker 1: big deal back then as a kid, and as we
Speaker 1: know working in radio, to get a raise out of
Speaker 1: anyone in radio is an act of God. God to
Speaker 1: get a raise for the rest of our time at
Speaker 1: that station. Uh, staff would walk around and say, hey, y'all,
Speaker 1: I'm Ricky Van Shelton. That's outstanding, dumb dumb. I imagine
Speaker 1: how much trouble he got in. Oh yeah, Well, it's
Speaker 1: just you know, you could probably still get away with
Speaker 1: something like that today because nobody really knows what anyone
Speaker 1: sounds like outside of like the top two of people.
Speaker 1: Everyone you don't really know for sure, and you assume
Speaker 1: that no one's gonna punk you like that. So that's
Speaker 1: that's great. Oh man, it's uh. I could go on
Speaker 1: with those stories. You had quite the weekend last weekend,
Speaker 1: My man, Dannygy, your first time you brought you popped
Speaker 1: your cherry at a Las Vegas Raiders game, and oh
Speaker 1: what a game it was. Yeah. Last season, I brought
Speaker 1: the tender Roni to her very first football game, but
Speaker 1: it was preseason. It was Rams Raiders, so we got
Speaker 1: to check out so far. The game obviously didn't count.
Speaker 1: Um overall, this was her very first NFL game that counted. Now.
Speaker 1: I've seen so many Raider games because I was a
Speaker 1: season ticket holder in Oakland, but this was my first
Speaker 1: time seeing a Raiders game at their new home, the
Speaker 1: Big Roomba. Um beautiful, man. I mean, we took a
Speaker 1: tour last year of the stadium the last time we
Speaker 1: visited Vegas, so we knew that it was a beautiful place,
Speaker 1: but we didn't get to see a football game in
Speaker 1: there yet. So we get there bend. Um. I'll talk
Speaker 1: about the food a little later in this podcast. That
Speaker 1: was a whole experience. Um. The wife, he was not
Speaker 1: feeling that good because she was battling morning sickness quickly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was something that we had to battle. But we
Speaker 1: finally get to our seats, and no matter where you
Speaker 1: sit in that stadium, even if you're up high, it's
Speaker 1: not too steep and you have a perfect view of
Speaker 1: the field, so you could see all the wide open
Speaker 1: receivers that Derek Carr is missing. It's wonderful, wonderful view
Speaker 1: it more. And I guess what sums it up the
Speaker 1: best is there was this dude down the row from us,
Speaker 1: and in the third and the fourth quarter we could
Speaker 1: see him. He was drinking out of a water bottle.
Speaker 1: But it was not water in the bottle. It was
Speaker 1: clear it must have been vodka. We were guessing because
Speaker 1: this dude was trashed be he did the pregame thing
Speaker 1: and he showed up and he snuck something. Okay, I
Speaker 1: got you sure you know. There wasn't a lot of
Speaker 1: Raiders scoring in the second half. Of course, the whole
Speaker 1: theme of the season for the Raiders has been jump
Speaker 1: out to a big double digit lead and then fall
Speaker 1: asleep after that and play keep away. And that looked
Speaker 1: like that was gonna happen in that game, right It
Speaker 1: really yeah, it really did. This guy is nodding off
Speaker 1: Ben in the third and the fourth quarter, like he
Speaker 1: literally has his mouth open catching flies and his eyes
Speaker 1: are closed, and we both took pictures of him and
Speaker 1: we're like, now, this is hilarious. This guy right here.
Speaker 1: I spent a couple hundred bucks is take a nap.
Speaker 1: Even up high, Ben, those tickets were selling for three
Speaker 1: d bucks and we're talking mathematically alive, but only a
Speaker 1: five percent chance to make it to the playoffs. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine how much those secondary market tickets would be
Speaker 1: if they were in the playoffs. Well yeah, but that's
Speaker 1: a lot of Boston people, right, People go to Vegas.
Speaker 1: You want to see your team a gamble in Vegas.
Speaker 1: So that's There were some Patriots fans in the road
Speaker 1: in front of us, and they were talking ship and
Speaker 1: they started to get vocal. After the Patriots took the lead.
Speaker 1: I turned and looked at my wife Roni, and I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, the Raiders just need to shut them up.
Speaker 1: We got a text from somebody who was watching at
Speaker 1: home and they were like, oh, the announcers mentioned that
Speaker 1: the Patriots fans are starting to get vocal there, and
Speaker 1: I looked at her and I said, well, we need
Speaker 1: to shut them the hell up right now. And sure enough,
Speaker 1: Derek Carr got his shipped together finally in that last
Speaker 1: drive and led the team down the field, had that
Speaker 1: crucial fourth down conversion, then the throw into the end zone.
Speaker 1: It was a tie game. Suddenly that dude that was
Speaker 1: knocked out on alcohol, he woke up and he's jumping
Speaker 1: up and down, and we're like, yeah, we even got
Speaker 1: this guy with us now. It was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know what you were thinking. I was thinking, the cars
Speaker 1: gonna screw this up on that drive and then then
Speaker 1: I gonna score a touchdown. The way it's gone so
Speaker 1: far this season, I did have a nervous fart in
Speaker 1: me that was waiting to come out. There was a
Speaker 1: raider fans to my left. He was making prayer hands.
Speaker 1: He literally was praying, please don't let this happen again.
Speaker 1: Please don't let us go out like suckers again. And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, maybe God is on our side today.
Speaker 1: You know, the Patriots have the ball there, they are
Speaker 1: moving a little bit down the field, but there wasn't
Speaker 1: enough time on the clock for them to you know,
Speaker 1: get into field goal range. So when there was three
Speaker 1: seconds left, I'm thinking they're gonna throw a hail Mary
Speaker 1: here or neil. Those are the only two options, right
Speaker 1: because it's a tie game. Yeah, yeah, well you think,
Speaker 1: well you could throw you throw a hail Mary. I
Speaker 1: hope you get a penalty on the defense, and then
Speaker 1: you get a free play and then you can kick
Speaker 1: a field goal win the game. But what they did,
Speaker 1: she's that's like everyone. I love Belichick, and I praised
Speaker 1: Belichick a lot, but then they got to be the
Speaker 1: dumbest team in the in the NFL with that play,
Speaker 1: which originally would have been fine. They just run the ball,
Speaker 1: they got a bunch of yards. Fine, didn't work out,
Speaker 1: you know, try your luck in overtime. But Jacobe Meyers
Speaker 1: had other ideas, Danny, he had other ideas there in
Speaker 1: Week fifteen. It's a cliche you hear people say, the
Speaker 1: roller coaster of emotions. It was such a roller coaster ride.
Speaker 1: It was so true in this case because when Stevenson
Speaker 1: broke those couple of first initial tackles and he got
Speaker 1: down the sideline, in my head, I'm thinking, oh shit,
Speaker 1: oh ship, because I've seen the Raiders blow a lot
Speaker 1: of leads this year and lose in dramatic fashion like
Speaker 1: to your Rams. So I'm thinking he is gonna break
Speaker 1: away and run into the end zone for a game
Speaker 1: winning six points. And then suddenly though defender finally had
Speaker 1: a good angle on him, and that's what pitched the
Speaker 1: ball backwards. So I was like, thank God, now though
Speaker 1: I see that interception and it was like something out
Speaker 1: of a movie. I could not believe what I was seeing, Like,
Speaker 1: holy crap on a cracker, and I can't believe that
Speaker 1: what's going on here? Oh my goodness, Ben um perfect
Speaker 1: view of what happened because it was in our end
Speaker 1: zone that he scored Chandler Jones. I didn't see the
Speaker 1: stiff farm at first because it happened so fast. All
Speaker 1: I saw was Mac Jones getting trucked and the buddy
Speaker 1: hop and in real time in person, it just looked
Speaker 1: like Mac Jones got destroyed. He looked like that on
Speaker 1: TV two he got when Chandler Jones was on his
Speaker 1: way to the end zone. I don't think I've jumped
Speaker 1: this high since high school. He were jumping up and
Speaker 1: down like as if we were at a House of
Speaker 1: Pain concert and they were performing their hit song jump
Speaker 1: Around in Unison. Thousands and thousands of Raider fans jumping
Speaker 1: up and down like the world's largest moss fit. It
Speaker 1: was insanity. I've been to some dope games before. I
Speaker 1: was at the Raiders a f C Championship win. The
Speaker 1: last time they went to the Super Bowl that was allowed.
Speaker 1: Raucous game in Oakland, but the celebration did not compare
Speaker 1: to this. They kept replaying Chandler Jones spectacular play, and
Speaker 1: every time they would replay it, the fans would jump
Speaker 1: up and down again as if it happened live again.
Speaker 1: Was having an orgasm. It's like an orgy raider or yes,
Speaker 1: it was a ten who was a ten minute touchdown?
Speaker 1: Celebration taste like a touchdown in your mouth. Have never
Speaker 1: seen a finish like that in my life, and to
Speaker 1: have been there, I just I'm really really grateful that
Speaker 1: I was there to see it with my girl, so
Speaker 1: see the smile on her face and to know that
Speaker 1: that's gonna be her for first experience at an NFL
Speaker 1: game that counted. It was pretty magical. Man. The whole
Speaker 1: city was floating. The whole city was on cloud nine. Afterwards,
Speaker 1: we were going from casino to casino because we had
Speaker 1: to walk back to our hotel, and the entire city
Speaker 1: Bend was full of smiles and laughter and share And
Speaker 1: I told her, I said, you realize, right, we were
Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes away from this being the
Speaker 1: exact opposite of this. Well, you would have had mobs
Speaker 1: of Bostonian's mass holes. That would have been losers and all.
Speaker 1: There would have been fights. There would have been Raider
Speaker 1: fans turning to the bottle too, you know, soak their
Speaker 1: blues away. It would have been a bad bad scene
Speaker 1: there had the Raiders blown that. But instead it was
Speaker 1: like a huge Vegas party. It felt like New Year's Eve. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm happy for you. I lost, I
Speaker 1: had the Patriots, so I was on the rong side
Speaker 1: of that. But I'm happy for you and you got
Speaker 1: to experience it, and no game will ever come close
Speaker 1: to that, and so I hope you enjoyed it. And
Speaker 1: uh and someday when the little mumpskin, the little seed
Speaker 1: pops out of the uh, the oven, there you can
Speaker 1: say your first nfl ok. You don't remember because you
Speaker 1: were just a bunch of God only knows what that
Speaker 1: is at this point, but the cells or whatever right now, Yeah, peanut,
Speaker 1: but that's that's pretty cool. So I'm happy for you.
Speaker 1: And we will have the food review. Yeah. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: gave me a homework assignment and you apparently you apparently
Speaker 1: have crossed over on that homework assignment. So I wanted
Speaker 1: to mention this now and this Actually we're both kind
Speaker 1: of tied into this one. And I gotta give Dr
Speaker 1: Seuss credit. And he was right. When I was a
Speaker 1: little boy, Danny and I my mom used to read
Speaker 1: me Dr. Seuss books when I was a kid, and
Speaker 1: he mentioned there's a great line. There's one line in
Speaker 1: particular that I still remember more than any other Doctor
Speaker 1: Seuss line, and it was, Oh, the places you go
Speaker 1: and the people you'll see. And as I've gotten older
Speaker 1: of taking that to heart and some of the people
Speaker 1: that I've crossed in my life that have passed on,
Speaker 1: or some of the people that have gone on and
Speaker 1: done some crazy things, and it's so true. Uh. And
Speaker 1: it happened again this past week. At some point, I
Speaker 1: feel like Forrest Gump, you know, like Forrest Gump was
Speaker 1: at every like big big thing there, but just kind
Speaker 1: of in the background, you know. Uh Gary Jones, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. So when when I started out in radio
Speaker 1: in l A read I've told the story before, but
Speaker 1: my contemporaries, the people that wereround around my age giver
Speaker 1: take that we're doing radio. We had k Rock, had
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel, who was doing the morning sports on Kevin
Speaker 1: and Bean, and they had Adam Caroll who was part
Speaker 1: of that show. But they were just like sidekicks on
Speaker 1: the morning show. Uh. The afternoon DJ had Star FM,
Speaker 1: that's what it was called. Seven was Ryan Seacrest. Those
Speaker 1: guys have all done okay for themselves. I think they're
Speaker 1: they're okay. Uh. And when I was a reporter before
Speaker 1: I got into that, and I was a talk show ast,
Speaker 1: I was a reporter and I used to cover games
Speaker 1: all the time. And Fox Sports Net the regional cable
Speaker 1: channel Prime Ticket, they had a reporter named Laurence Sanchez
Speaker 1: who I knew a little bit and I was around
Speaker 1: her quite a bit when she was covering the games.
Speaker 1: And she she's now stooping the Amazon guy, Jeff Bezos,
Speaker 1: who at one point the richest man in the world.
Speaker 1: And she used to be married to a certain tight
Speaker 1: end in the NFL. That's right, That's right, um, Tony
Speaker 1: gazaz So, and she was with some other I think
Speaker 1: she's she's in, you know, she just enjoyed her life
Speaker 1: as a young lady. She's she spread her wings or whatever. Anyway. So, um,
Speaker 1: so this this week, we we both learned Danny not
Speaker 1: just me, but you as well are Former Fox Sports
Speaker 1: radio colleague Jay Moore engaged to marry Genie Boss the Lakers,
Speaker 1: the owner of the Lakers. They met when Jay was
Speaker 1: still doing his show on our net work. I know
Speaker 1: what in the world, What in the world? How wild
Speaker 1: is that? And so Dr SEUs was right, all the
Speaker 1: places you go, the people we will see. And I
Speaker 1: said this to Coop and Roberto on the Overnight show
Speaker 1: this week, and I'll say it to you right now.
Speaker 1: Do you wish you had been a little nicer to
Speaker 1: Jay Moore? You could be like the assistant coach for
Speaker 1: the Lakers right now, Danny like like Jason made Man
Speaker 1: now our guy. Jay's like he's he's sleeping with the owner. Man,
Speaker 1: he can get you in there, you know, man, Well,
Speaker 1: I was nice to him. Um, I'm celebrating my ninth
Speaker 1: anniversary at the network and my first shift where I
Speaker 1: trained and he had me trained on the More show
Speaker 1: for a week. There you go. No, I have nothing
Speaker 1: bad to say about Jay. I didn't really run into
Speaker 1: him very much. I filled in for him. He actually
Speaker 1: called in sick at the last minute. I got to
Speaker 1: do a show with Ron art Test a K Metal
Speaker 1: World peace, and I think Kirk Morrison. There were a
Speaker 1: couple of guys, but I remember Metal World Piece and
Speaker 1: he gave me like his phone number, so I have
Speaker 1: I have Ronard test phone number. Not that I really
Speaker 1: called him or whatever. I don't really need about it,
Speaker 1: but but it was good and I'm happy for him. Now, Danny,
Speaker 1: you watch what Jaina's crew does. You can look a lot.
Speaker 1: That's the z Dog z Dog for sure, all right,
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to mention that in passing. But
Speaker 1: just another name to add the list here some crazy
Speaker 1: and wild things. And the market research is in. The
Speaker 1: market research is in the Danny g Let's go to
Speaker 1: the market research. What do you say? Yeah, last weekend
Speaker 1: you gave me a homework assignment for the new Vegas
Speaker 1: Allegiant Stadium UM and you wanted to know the average
Speaker 1: price of alcoholic beverages there, what kind of food options
Speaker 1: were there? Let me grade it against so Far, which
Speaker 1: probably isn't fair to so Far because they need to
Speaker 1: get their ship together there. When it comes to food,
Speaker 1: so Far is beautiful, especially on the outside and the
Speaker 1: whole Jurassic Park feel. I was blown away when I
Speaker 1: visited so Far. The thing that didn't impress me was
Speaker 1: the sorry excuse for a slice of pizza I ate there,
Speaker 1: the sorry excuse for nachos that I ordered at so
Speaker 1: far it was like two dollars and it was garbage, horrible,
Speaker 1: horrible food selections there. I don't know if it's improved
Speaker 1: since then, because that was at the start of two
Speaker 1: seasons ago. But you know, I didn't know what to
Speaker 1: expect walking into Vegas Stadium. Now. My girl, as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: she was battling what felt like morning sickness, even though
Speaker 1: we were now in the middle of the day. We
Speaker 1: got off our flight. She's not feeling well, but what
Speaker 1: she has found out is she has some toast, some
Speaker 1: water in her stomach will calm down. So we're both
Speaker 1: hungry because we got right off the flight, went checked in,
Speaker 1: put our bags in our room, got another uber, got
Speaker 1: right to the state him as quick as we could,
Speaker 1: huge line of cars getting in there. We got into
Speaker 1: the stadium right in time, and in fact, when we
Speaker 1: were trying to walk to our seats, Derek Carr is
Speaker 1: up on the screen leading the Raiders in their first
Speaker 1: drive to a field goal. But she wasn't feeling well,
Speaker 1: and I was like, look, we don't need to walk
Speaker 1: super fast. Uh your pray go. That's the priority. Let's
Speaker 1: pace ourselves. And while we're doing that, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: market research. Anyways, Ben wants some pictures. Yeah, a bunch
Speaker 1: of pictures here, Dinny. He went above and beyond the
Speaker 1: call of duty. Yeah. Now, the food options in there
Speaker 1: were amazing. This worked out really good during that field
Speaker 1: goal drive because the first thing we found was Abuela's,
Speaker 1: which was a taco cart inside the stadium with these
Speaker 1: two Mexican ladies chopping up chicken and Carnie Asana. They
Speaker 1: were making street tacos right there inside the stadium. It
Speaker 1: was pretty good. I eat that. Yeah. My wife was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we gotta get a couple of these tacos. So that's
Speaker 1: how we started. We're watching the big monitors. We find
Speaker 1: somewhere to stand. We could hear the crowd. We could
Speaker 1: kind of see through one of the sections through the
Speaker 1: aisle to where the field is at the crowd roars.
Speaker 1: Then we see what happens on the monitor and we're
Speaker 1: stuffing a chicken taco in our mouth. Something your best
Speaker 1: life and how how much were the chicken tacos going for?
Speaker 1: Let's see. So the chicken for two chicken tacos. It
Speaker 1: was fourteen dollars al right, so that's like, what's that
Speaker 1: that Mexican restaurant the valley here right near work where
Speaker 1: all these celebrities go. Oh, Cosa Vega, Cosa Vega. That's
Speaker 1: about the same as Cossa Vega. Pretty much, not bad
Speaker 1: for a stadium. And it was really good, really really good.
Speaker 1: She ate one of the chicken tacos. She's like, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm feeling better already. We get her a coke because
Speaker 1: you know, there's magical medicine inside Coca Cola. It settles
Speaker 1: your tummy. We continue to walk and now I'm taking pictures.
Speaker 1: I see brisket burritos. Oh yeah, it's stopped there, Danny,
Speaker 1: because that's a good looking you know, I'm not a
Speaker 1: big burrito guy, but that brisket burrito. And maybe it's
Speaker 1: because I've been fasting, but that smoked brisket burrito, that
Speaker 1: is a winner. That put on the board. We saw
Speaker 1: a Raider fan with that on his plate, one of
Speaker 1: those carrier trays, and we wanted it. We had just
Speaker 1: eaten the tacos, though, so we're like, let's keep walking.
Speaker 1: The smoked biscuit burrito before we move on smoked brisket, Chipotle,
Speaker 1: Aoli cilantro coleslaw. I don't need that red rice. Mexican
Speaker 1: cheese is. How's the spicy barbecue sauce and a side
Speaker 1: of chips? So solid? Yeah, really good looking. Uh, it
Speaker 1: smelled terrific. But we kept walking. We're like, let's see
Speaker 1: what's further down. We had a little bit of a
Speaker 1: walk to go to our section. Uh. Then we came
Speaker 1: to a grill and they were grilling up. They were
Speaker 1: also grilling up chicken, but they also had rice. It
Speaker 1: almost looked like kind of like a little Mongolian set up,
Speaker 1: and the smell it was like, you know, bugs bunny
Speaker 1: being lifted off his feet. And my girl was like,
Speaker 1: I want that, and I was like all right, So
Speaker 1: I got in line and I got us to chicken
Speaker 1: and rice bulls. The flavor. I don't know what they
Speaker 1: marinated that chicken in, but holy ship, those bulls were good.
Speaker 1: But now we're walking, stuffing our faces as we walk
Speaker 1: with these bulls. And I took a couple more pictures.
Speaker 1: There was a guy at a carving station. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I see the guy the guy's mad dogging. He's got
Speaker 1: the the knife there he's holding posed for the picture.
Speaker 1: He's like pose. I was like, kick your ass is
Speaker 1: what he's saying. He's got that look. I gotta kick
Speaker 1: your ass. He's holding he's holding his big carving knife
Speaker 1: and he's doing the prison pose with his arms folded. Uh.
Speaker 1: Great picture to post it on Twitter after this podcast
Speaker 1: goes up. But he he was carving turkey ham and
Speaker 1: he was making sandwiches. Awesome, awesome options there. We were
Speaker 1: really surprised. Then we came to a chicken tender stand.
Speaker 1: Would have been all about that. They looked really good.
Speaker 1: Then we came to one last spot where we bought something.
Speaker 1: After we passed a pizza place. They had vegan pizza,
Speaker 1: which Alex tishert would have loved. Uh. They also had
Speaker 1: you know, all the different kind of Sicilian h to
Speaker 1: Chicago style pizza there. And then our last stop, we
Speaker 1: got some pretzel bites. All those like pretty good. I
Speaker 1: was just looking at those in this picture. You said,
Speaker 1: really good. Uh, spicy, a spicy mustard dip, and then
Speaker 1: a great hot cheese dip and it was like that
Speaker 1: fancy cheese nuts. We were excited. Man. We got to
Speaker 1: our seats and we were happy until dinner. Man, very satisfied.
Speaker 1: I think the most expensive thing was those chicken bulls.
Speaker 1: I did leave like a two dollar tip, but I
Speaker 1: noticed on my credit card for two of those chicken
Speaker 1: bulls it was thirty nine dollars. WHOA, So that was
Speaker 1: so thirty seven dollars I guess before the tip. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the the cocktails here, Deluxe cocktail doubles
Speaker 1: twenty eight dollars, Premium cocktail double twenty five dollars. You
Speaker 1: can get domestic canned beer at the Radar game fourteen bucks,
Speaker 1: Premium can beer sixteen h the the bottled water for
Speaker 1: six dollars. That's uh, that's robbery, that's what that is. Alright,
Speaker 1: So we've got enough, Backscratcher. Let's do that real quickly
Speaker 1: and we'll have pop goes to the culture. So backscratcher.
Speaker 1: Did we get any reviews, Danny this week? Every week
Speaker 1: we put the call out to the mallar militia, we
Speaker 1: say we need your help here. Management loves checking out
Speaker 1: the app podcast page for reviews, and they're all smiles
Speaker 1: when we get some, and it makes them happy and
Speaker 1: all that, and so we blatantly beg you to put
Speaker 1: a review out there. And so this week, Danny, how
Speaker 1: many reviews did we get? Zero, one or two we got?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess that we got one. Well, Danny, you'll
Speaker 1: be happy to know we got to this week a
Speaker 1: to hit her first one. The headline Western Wisconsin the
Speaker 1: five Stars. I finally figured out how to center review.

Speaker 1: You can figure it out, and it really does help
Speaker 1: us out, and that's a great gift you can give us.
Speaker 1: Doesn't cost any money, all right, doesn't cost any money,
Speaker 1: Chris literally would take two minutes of your time. Alright,
Speaker 1: we have time for a few pop goes the culture
Speaker 1: and that means our guy, Ohio, aw all right, thank
Speaker 1: you Ohio. Aw So this comes out of Stanford. This
Speaker 1: is these are pop culture stories that caught my attention
Speaker 1: that we didn't talk about on the radio. So from Stanford,
Speaker 1: where they spent the past eighteen months, Danny putting together
Speaker 1: a list of bad words the bad Word Initiative. Yes,
Speaker 1: they are the Elimination of Harmful Language initiative. Hey, multi phase,
Speaker 1: multi year project to address harmful language at Stanford. What
Speaker 1: a bunch of assholes, I know, right, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: really this is what we're doing now, you schmucks. You you.
Speaker 1: I can't say what I would like to say you.
Speaker 1: It's a past you fucking pieces of ship you there
Speaker 1: you go? All right, no, anyway, so I have there
Speaker 1: gonna believe that one? All right? Anyway, Well that's the
Speaker 1: ultimate bad word right there. So I have somebody sent
Speaker 1: me this, Danny. This is from the Stanford one of
Speaker 1: their websites. Here it lists all of the words that
Speaker 1: they have decided they need to cancel, the phrases among them. Danny,
Speaker 1: you are no longer supposed to say addicted. You're supposed
Speaker 1: to say hooked or devoted, stupid. You can't say basket case.
Speaker 1: You have to stay nervous. No more blind study at Stanford.
Speaker 1: It's a man. This is like the injured list. I know,
Speaker 1: it's so ridiculous. Instead of blind study, they want you
Speaker 1: to say mass study. You can no longer use the
Speaker 1: word crazy. You have to use the word surprising or wild.
Speaker 1: Hang on, let me sit Indian style while I listen
Speaker 1: to this. Crazy and insane have both been canceled. Lame
Speaker 1: is no longer allowed. You have to say boring or uncool.
Speaker 1: You can no longer say mentally ill. You have to
Speaker 1: say a person living with a mental health condition. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: retard is out. That's gone. A person with a cognitant.
Speaker 1: What if the party is jumping, though, can you say,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's retarded in't here? I don't think
Speaker 1: so not. According to Stanford, you can't say. You can
Speaker 1: no longer use the phrase gray beard. That falls under
Speaker 1: the ageism category. So you it's what if you have
Speaker 1: a gray beard? You're a gray beard. You instead are
Speaker 1: supposed to say the person's name. You can use the
Speaker 1: term senile anymore, Danny. You have to say the person
Speaker 1: is suffering from senility, stupid. I know it is so ridiculous.
Speaker 1: These are these are the top people in academia. You
Speaker 1: can no longer use berry the hatchet. You have to
Speaker 1: say call for peace or call a truce. Uh, geronimo.
Speaker 1: That word has been canceled. Cannot use it. You can
Speaker 1: only use it when discussing the historical figure Geronimo Wellman
Speaker 1: on the totem pole, also canceled by You're supposed to
Speaker 1: say lack of seniority or don't does not have power
Speaker 1: or prestige or oh my god. Uh instead of balls
Speaker 1: to the wall, you're supposed to say accelerate efforts. Accelerate
Speaker 1: efforts is what you're supposed to say. Uh, this is
Speaker 1: you can't say pow wow anymore. I use that term
Speaker 1: from time to time. You have to say I get
Speaker 1: together or meeting mm hmm, I can keep going. Spirit
Speaker 1: animals been canceled by Stanford. What's wrong with spirit animal?
Speaker 1: It's a good question, It says. The term refers to
Speaker 1: an animal spirit that guides protects one to a journey,
Speaker 1: So to equate it with an animal one likes it
Speaker 1: to demean the significance of the term. Oh so please
Speaker 1: say nondenominational animal, and I'm supposed to say favorite animal,
Speaker 1: animal I most admire, or what holy ship? What are
Speaker 1: we doing here? My god? I can go on and on.
Speaker 1: This is like something you would see being printed by
Speaker 1: the Onion. Oh totally, totally. You can no longer say
Speaker 1: preferred pronouns you're just supposed to say pronouns. The word preferred.
Speaker 1: According to Stanford, suggests that non binary gender identity is
Speaker 1: a choice and a preference. So isn't it though, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm the arrows leaning towards yes on that one, Daddy.
Speaker 1: That's where I sit here. I mean, I don't think
Speaker 1: it's controversial to say that now, courtis Stanford is, you're
Speaker 1: no longer supposed to say fireman or fireman. You're supposed
Speaker 1: to say firefighter. You can't say congressman or congresswoman. It's
Speaker 1: congress person or legislator. My my favorite though, is they've
Speaker 1: now canceled the term gentleman, guys and ladies. Instead of that,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to say everyone. So they've gotten rid of
Speaker 1: the male genitalia the female genitalia, and now it's just everyone.
Speaker 1: I can't say maleman anymore. Can't say landlady anymore or landlord.
Speaker 1: I can't say property order or male person, postal carrier.
Speaker 1: Policeman has also been canceled. Police woman has been canceled. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, I can go on on. This thing goes
Speaker 1: on for pages, Danny, this is, uh, how many pages
Speaker 1: are we looking at? Here. This is thirteen pages of words.
Speaker 1: How many months did they waste on this? Eighteen months
Speaker 1: they spent on this, eighteen months dating. What a bunch
Speaker 1: of lame losers there? I used lame for them. You
Speaker 1: can no longer say rule of thumb. I use that
Speaker 1: a lot. You have to use standard rule or general rule.
Speaker 1: And it says, although no written record exists today, that
Speaker 1: this phrase is attributed to an old British law that
Speaker 1: allowed men to beat their wives with sticks no wider
Speaker 1: than their thumb. An experiment, man, I want you to
Speaker 1: do one entire monologue where you go by all of
Speaker 1: their rules. Oh you know, I'm gonna do that. And
Speaker 1: my goal is to mix as many of these fucking
Speaker 1: words into my my language, my lexicon as I can.
Speaker 1: You can't say war room anymore. You're supposed to say
Speaker 1: situation room. It's unnecessary use of violent language if you
Speaker 1: use war room. Oh god, I can't say killing two
Speaker 1: birds with one stone. It says the expression this is
Speaker 1: great normalizes violence against animals. I know. Whenever my mom
Speaker 1: used to say that, I'd go right outside with a
Speaker 1: bad gun and shoot a couple of birds. You can't
Speaker 1: say cracked the whip. Danny, you're supposed to say, double down,
Speaker 1: work harder, unnecessary use of violent imagery, imagery, according to Stanford,
Speaker 1: that paints the person being referred to as an authoritarian
Speaker 1: or a presser oppressive rather so jeez, I mean, I
Speaker 1: want to move on from this, but it's so it's
Speaker 1: so crazy, and this kind of poison is now spreading
Speaker 1: to the United States Marine Corps. Danny, what's going on
Speaker 1: with our United States Marines? They are urged the U S.
Speaker 1: Marines urged to stop calling instructors sir and ma'am. They're
Speaker 1: supposed to be more gender inclusive. Wow. How long is
Speaker 1: this nonsense going to continue? Right? At some point won't
Speaker 1: the adults say, hey, let's not that the crazy people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I use the word crazy. Determine what's going on with
Speaker 1: our language here. You can no longer, I'm going back
Speaker 1: to Stanford thing, you can no longer call a spade
Speaker 1: a spade. What's up with that? Let's see what it
Speaker 1: says on this one. It says, although the term has
Speaker 1: its origins in Greek literature, the negative connotations with the
Speaker 1: words spade means that the phrase should be used with
Speaker 1: caution or not at all. Oh, this is this is
Speaker 1: too good? Alright? What else do we have on popcos
Speaker 1: the culture? You see that story out of Wisconsin. Multiple
Speaker 1: witnesses in different locations captured video they did not know
Speaker 1: each other of UFOs in rural Wisconsin. Night Sky and
Speaker 1: I saw some of the clips on this and what's
Speaker 1: it look like? I mean, it looks like every other
Speaker 1: UFO videos. I mean, it's so they're all kind of
Speaker 1: the same. But I I don't know what it was.
Speaker 1: It didn't look like anything that was man made. But
Speaker 1: they always they don't, uh, there's there's ship out there.
Speaker 1: I know. Why don't we ever see anything that's in
Speaker 1: a different shape, you know, like, oh my god, that
Speaker 1: one looks like a cruise ship. That would be speaking
Speaker 1: a cruise ships. The Titanic. Did you see the story
Speaker 1: as an old story? I had not heard about this.
Speaker 1: They were telling streaking news from Marcel's Twitter account and
Speaker 1: that was actually the film Titanic. Have you heard this story?
Speaker 1: I had not heard this one, but I'm not up
Speaker 1: on this stuff. Maybe you heard it. So the legend
Speaker 1: is that the Titanic film crew they had a chowder
Speaker 1: on on the set while they were filming the movie
Speaker 1: and somebody thought it would be funny Danny to lace
Speaker 1: the chowder with PCP. So this is on the icon
Speaker 1: James Cameron's Titanic. Twenty five years after they were telling
Speaker 1: these stories, there was a story written recently. Some some
Speaker 1: seafood chowder your chowder head, and somebody put angel dust
Speaker 1: in the chowder, and the entire crew was, as you
Speaker 1: could imagine when you have PCP laden seafood. Uh. They
Speaker 1: were a little a little out there for for that
Speaker 1: that day, and they said the problem was that the seafood,
Speaker 1: the chowder tasted so good that some members of the
Speaker 1: Titanic crew, we're eating multiple bowls of the seafood. You know,
Speaker 1: if it wasn't seafood, I was gonna say, since it
Speaker 1: was free, you would have been in line for seconds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if it was not seafood, I would have I would
Speaker 1: have been lined up on that, Yeah, because it was free.
Speaker 1: If it's free, it's for me. And one more, a
Speaker 1: viral TikTok video has discovered and odd m M is
Speaker 1: it quirk? Is it true? Is it true that a
Speaker 1: very popular Christmas song actually has a beat that was
Speaker 1: taken or borrowed for the very famous NFL on Fox
Speaker 1: theme song say why Uh? Yeah, some random woman I
Speaker 1: don't know who this is. She's on the TikTok and
Speaker 1: she made a video. I'm trying to get a story
Speaker 1: up here so I can give you the exact name
Speaker 1: and uh and she said, where in the world have
Speaker 1: I heard this before? And so she she played it
Speaker 1: on the video and it was it was pretty pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: So let's get to the point here. So she pointed
Speaker 1: out that the similarities between the song slay Ride and
Speaker 1: the theme song of the NFL on Fox, and she
Speaker 1: played it and I don't know you want me to
Speaker 1: play this, Danny. I don't know if this will show
Speaker 1: up or now, and I can play it if you want.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I never would have thought about that. Now.
Speaker 1: I'm not a music guy. I don't have the music, geet, Danny.
Speaker 1: But aren't there are there? There's only a finite amount
Speaker 1: of lyrics that you can come up with the music, right,
Speaker 1: am I correct on that? Or their endless amounts of
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like the beats. There's only
Speaker 1: so many beats you can come up with a right well,
Speaker 1: as far as baselines, there's hundreds that you can come
Speaker 1: up with. Yeah, but a lot of them are repurposed. Sure,
Speaker 1: a lot of them are taken, uh and tweaked a
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah yeah, anyway, all right, we'll get out
Speaker 1: on that. Anything to promote here, Danny, it's Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1: You're not are you working today? You're not working today?
Speaker 1: Are you? I am off on Saturday. We'll have a
Speaker 1: great time, get out on that and I will will
