3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the rich

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,880

00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: I've got my I've got Wizard, We've got that, We've

31
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: and a miss and ghosted. That's a lot of content.

32
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: That's a that's a lot of content and a limited

33
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: amount of time. So let's get right into what do

34
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: you say here? You ready to go? Yeah? All right,

35
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: this is siting. I'm very excited. So, as you referenced,

36
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: and it is that time of the year again, as

37
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: everyone in sports radio, we all undergo a metamorphosis and

38
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: it's like transforming, like it's like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.

39
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: And we're all college basketball experts, all of a sudden

40
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: Abrica dabra hocus pocus. College basketball does not get a

41
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: lot of play on radio. It just doesn't. I was

42
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: talking to a radio friend of mine back East, and

43
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: he thinks that the the COVID shutdown of the n

44
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: c A tournament in was the final blow the college basketball,

45
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: completely knocking it out of the zeitgeist of people. Now

46
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm not there yet. I'm not quite there yet, and

47
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: I get into the tournament. I have some reasons for that.

48
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: They do call me, as I said, Benny Bracketts and

49
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: all that, but we're all experts on college basketball. So

50
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: I have been Danny over the last couple weeks, leaning

51
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: into this weekend as we chopped the field down from

52
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: sixty four and widow it away or actually sixty eight

53
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: with the playing games back early in the week. But

54
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: so I've been immersing myself in n c A hoops

55
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. Actually, it is the

56
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: most wondrous time of the year for office pools, for

57
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: for gambling and all this stuff. With March madness. Now

58
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: we have it on, you know at the Mallard Mansion,

59
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: a NonStop. But for me, it's all about the Wizard Danny,

60
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: it's all about the wizard, about the wizard, as in

61
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: the Wizard of Westwood John R. Wooden legend. Well, the

62
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: as you as you know, I'm an ambassador for the

63
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: memory the legacy of John Wooden. You're saying, what is that,

64
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: you gas bag? You blow hard? Let me explain. So

65
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: this will be my twentieth year voting for the John R.

66
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: Wooden Award, And uh, I've talked about it from times right,

67
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: it is really cool. I like, I mean, we kid

68
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: around about it. But I don't need the heisman. I

69
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,559
Speaker 1: don't need the the m v P, the cy Young,

70
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. I don't need because I have

71
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: a vote. I have a there's a limited number of

72
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: votes available, media votes, and I get to vote for

73
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: the the awards a pound for pound, Danny, for my money,

74
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: the Wooden Award is at the very top. It is

75
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: for lem wrong. Now, how did you get this back

76
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: in the day? Did you apply for it? Were they desperate? No?

77
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: I got a great story. So there was a well

78
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: known sportscaster in Los Angeles named Ed Arnold. Ed worked

79
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: at Channel five in l A kt l A and

80
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: I was friends with that Ed. It was very nice

81
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: to me early on in my career when no one

82
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: should have been nice to me, no one should have

83
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: done anything cool to me, and but he was very

84
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: kind to me, and he kind of you know, led me,

85
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, down the path to to have a career

86
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: in radio. One of the people that was very positive

87
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: to me. And I'm very grateful to Ed Arnold. And

88
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: Ed was a long time TV sportscaster in l A.

89
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: And he said, you know what, Ben came up to me.

90
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: It was actually Dodger Stadium and and said, you know

91
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: you've been you know, I forget exactly what he said.

92
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: He was very kind, something along the line you know,

93
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna go places whether so he he

94
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: wanted me to vote for the Wooden War and uh,

95
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: this is you know, long, long, long ago, and I've

96
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: been in the business for a while, so I wasn't

97
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: like a young total young pup. But gave me the

98
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: Wooden Award vote. And my first year voting was twenty

99
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: two and Jay Williams, who's now on ESPN, but he

100
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: was at Duke. He is the Wooden Award winner that year.

101
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: And over the years, we've had legends like Kevin Durant

102
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: won the Wooden Award. Andrew Boget was a number one

103
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: pick for I think it was the Bucks, but he

104
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: won the Wooden Ward JJ reddick uh. And then they're

105
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: like college legends like Jimmer for Debt who I loved

106
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,559
Speaker 1: a b y u Jimber for Debt, but he didn't

107
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: make it in the NBA. Zaion Williamson won it. He's

108
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: a stiff in the NBA right now. But it's been

109
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. So it's been a lot of fun.

110
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: And one player come to mind that you went against

111
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: the grain, you voted for somebody that wasn't the popular choice. Well,

112
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: I did vote, and he ended up winning the award.

113
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: But at the time, Jamir Nelson, remember Jamir Nelson look

114
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: guard out of I think Joe's I believe it was

115
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: in Philly and he had a decent NBA career, but

116
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: I've remember voting for him, and yeah, the Orlando Magic

117
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: among other teams, a pretty good career. I'm guessing he's

118
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: fully vested in the NBA pension. Yeah, they send out

119
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: a watch list for the Wooden Award, and so once

120
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: I get to watch list, that's that's who I look at.

121
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: That's my guys. I try to watch as many of

122
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: those games as I can. And uh and and I'm

123
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: waiting actually might might have the ballot. It's an online vote,

124
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: it's a secure online vote, like everything these days. And

125
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: so I'm waiting until the eleventh hour to fill out

126
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: the ballot. It's I'm waiting till this weekend's done, just

127
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: so I get one last look at the top guys

128
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: in the tournament. And uh, and then I'll finish up.

129
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: And then right after the show Sunday and the Monday,

130
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: so tomorrow night, after the show, so early Monday morning,

131
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: just before the deadline when they locked the vote, I

132
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: have set an alarm on my iPhone to make sure

133
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't screw this up, because I I got concerned

134
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: the last year, Danny, I I I changed my email ID,

135
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: just my email I just changed, and I was worried

136
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna get vote. Eddie reminded me, and so

137
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: I was in a panic. I was in a tizzy.

138
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 1: I'll play with Eddie. So yeah, yeah, you can't screw

139
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: this stuff after twenty years. No, I gotta keep I

140
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: gotta keep voting. And John wouldn't. He's famous, I would

141
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: say the most famous quote wouldn't, of course, known as

142
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: college basketball circles is the goat of all time and

143
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But the the one quote from what

144
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: he had, the seven point Creed, which I'm sure you've

145
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: heard Danny over. There's a seven point creed. But there's

146
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: one line in that that has been repeated at nauseum.

147
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: It's point number three in the seven point Creed. Now,

148
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: point number one is be true to yourself. Point number

149
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: two is help others. The third one is the money quote,

150
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: and it's make each day your masterpiece. What do you

151
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: want from me? It's a great quote that it's a

152
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: wonderful line. Make every just if you just make every

153
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,360

Speaker 1: P trophy through the window on the new HBO Lakers drama.

171
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that. I've heard they made Jerry look

172
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: like a douchebag. I have not seen that. He doesn't

173
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: come off as the nicest guy, but definitely comes off

174
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: as a basketball savant. Yeah, yeah, I have not. I

175
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: have not checked that out. I I don't know is

176
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: it worth I'm not a Laker guy, so I don't know.

177
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: But I think I think you would like it, regardless

178
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: of if you're a Laker guy or not. You know. Also,

179
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to mention before I forget that we had

180
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: a passing this week of someone that I knew and

181
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: I didn't get to it. On the radio. She also

182
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: pat chop by me. Uh, you probably know who this

183
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: guy is, Danny g from your Laker fandom. Alan Massingille,

184
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: the Great Alan Massonille passed away. He had been very sick.

185
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: He had colon cancer for years. And Alan, uh, someone

186
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: that you again we crossed pass back when he was

187
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: doing he was doing the Lakers stuff on k CAL

188
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: l A him and I think it was James Worthy

189
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: would be on after after Laker games. But Alan very

190
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: good guy. He was one of the originals at ESPN

191
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: And the thing I loved about Alan Massingale was he

192
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: was always kind of down to earth and he could

193
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: have been a total dick because a lot of people

194
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: I've known that worked at ESPN back in the heyday,

195
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: and he worked kind of work. He worked there before

196
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: that it really became the monster that it eventually became

197
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: announced quite as not as big a monster as it was,

198
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: but but he worked there and he was always in

199
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: the early days and very very cool guy from Florida,

200
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: from the South, I believe from Florida. Uh. And he

201
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: had been sick. I guess he fell and then he

202
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: ended up passing away as a result of the fall

203
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: because he had made in poor health for a long time,

204
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: but rest in peace. Alan Massingale uh a long time

205
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: l a sportscaster, but a guy that that worked at

206
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: ESPN in the early days and did some Laker broadcasting

207
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: stuff post games. So rest rest of me. Way too young,

208
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's never a right time to die,

209
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: but he was. I think he was sixty three years always,

210
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: even younger than my mom. My mom died she was

211
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: sixty six. So yeah, I was sad to see that report. Yeah,

212
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: all right, we have the we went from the wizard

213
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: to the backscratcher. We gotta do it again. That last

214
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: week we lamented the fact, Danny, that that no one,

215
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: no one really gave us any love on the reviews. Remember,

216
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: we were like, wait a minute, what happened? You know,

217
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: we got crickets, that's all we got. And I was

218
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: depressing and all that stuff, you know, very sad. The

219
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: good news is we got a bunch a six pack

220
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: this week. These are actuals. And the deal is, Danny,

221
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: if people send a review in on the Apple podcast page,

222
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: we will read the review. That's what we agreed to, right,

223
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: let's fucking go. All right, that's Finn so Mario is

306
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean the dear Ken Miller. One logan that was logan.

307
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: So that was logan our gout logan in Memphis, Tennessee,

308
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: one of the great barbecue cities in in America. So

309
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm told, so flipping the bird with a mask? What

310
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: is this about, Danny g What are we what are

311
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: we dealing with this one? Well, and yesterday's podcast, I

312
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: was talking a little bit about how Monday was the

313
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: first day that California schools we're no longer requiring you

314
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: who worked there at the school or students to have

315
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 1: to wear a mask. It was optional. In fact, we

316
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: went around the campus and hung up these flyers that

317
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: showed a picture of a girl with her thumb up

318
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: a box that was checked, saying I am comfortable without

319
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: a mask. And then and then another picture I've heard

320
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: with the other thumb up saying I am comfortable with

321
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: my mask. All the cheesiness that you would expect from

322
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: the school districts here in California. Of course this is

323
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: a big deal. We're they're still trying to encourage the kids,

324
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: like overwhelming the you should keep wearing the mask and

325
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: all that. Don't don't stop. They still you don't know,

326
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: at least the school that I work for. I gotta

327
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: give them props because they didn't say anything to the

328
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: staff like that. They didn't say anything to the students.

329
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: They only hung those those flyers up. So I was like,

330
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: all right, cool, I mean, it's up to us what

331
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: we want to do. In my mind, I'm thinking the

332
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: parents are gonna show up on Monday morning drop off

333
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: the kids. They are gonna run in, screaming with their

334
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: friends with no masks on Sure, my morning shift, I'm

335
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: out there in front of the school. Some of my

336
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: responsibilities are with the gate. You're like, you're shepherding them in. Yes, yes,

337
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: I I'm the muscle right outside the main gates. You're

338
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: the ranch hero leading down. Yes. So I got my

339
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: walkie to hockey that looked very official. Parents are pulling up,

340
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: but I noticed something ben that caught me off guard. Okay,

341
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: there were parents inside their cars wearing masks. I'm talking

342
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: both parents with a mask on, two kids in the

343
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: back seat, both wearing masks, and then the parents pushed

344
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: the kids out of the car. And what I heard

345
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: the parents say was, and do not take it off

346
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: the entire day. No, really, boom, you can light me

347
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: on fire. And they're looking right at me too, like

348
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: you scumbag without a mask. I see you. So it

349
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: felt like not so subtle way of flipping me off

350
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: with their masks on while all of you are getting sick.

351
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: Now because some of the masks are off, we're gonna

352
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: double up our masks and wear them inside. Bull crap

353
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: corrept Oh man. I saw at least six or seven

354
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: cars Monday morning where that was their vibe. That's what

355
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: was going on. And these are the same cars I've

356
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: seen before where they don't have masks on normally inside

357
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: the car. Yeah, you have to have a very low

358
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: i Q to be driving with your family or by

359
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: yourself and wearing a mask in your car. No, I

360
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: agree with you. But the problem is, first of all,

361
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised by this. Secondly, it's you know bad

362
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, bad habits die hard, or I'd say that

363
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: that's the issue here. See the problem is people have

364
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: we're all creatures a habit and I see the same thing.

365
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm driving around. You're not driving around where I'm where

366
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm living out and I'll see people walking by themselves

367
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: on a beautiful day in California and they've got the

368
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: mask all, you know, covering their face. I'm like, what

369
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: are you doing? You know? But they estimate I remember

370
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: this years ago because I was trying to lose weight.

371
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: I could never lose weight. I was like, what the hell?

372
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: And because you gotta change your habits. But the problem is,

373
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: once people change happens, it takes like over two months.

374
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 1: They asked him, a scientists it is study years ago.

375
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: Maybe it's changed, but human behavior, something becomes automatic in

376
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: sixties six days. They say, that's exactly. That's a sweet

377
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: spot for on average sixty six days. If you want

378
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: to change something, you have to do it for sixty

379
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: six days, and then at that point it just becomes

380
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: part of you. And we are two years into this,

381
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: Danny almost I think we're over the two year mark

382
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: for the mask thing. Maybe not, but we're close to it.

383
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: Two years into the mass thing, people have been now hardwired.

384
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: It's like Pavlov's dogs to wear the mask, so now

385
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: they have to be hardwired the other way. And I

386
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: was telling I was telling a buddy of mine when

387
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: I when I was growing up. But I think I've

388
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: told this story before on the podcast. But when I

389
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: when I was getting my mom, God rest her soul,

390
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: she she hoarded like everything because she grew up in

391
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 1: a household that her parents went through the depression, and

392
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: so for you know, I had to have you know,

393
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: when you had the opportunity to buy a million rolls

394
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: at tolet paper or saran wrap or illuminum for she

395
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: would load up for like the nuclear winter, and that

396
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: was the rest of her entire life. She did that

397
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: because of the trauma as a kid. And so I

398
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: think we're gonna have the same bull crap these poor

399
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: kids of today. You know, we'll be gone, Danny, but

400
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 1: these kids are still gonna be wearing masks when they

401
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: go out a lot because they were programmed as children.

402
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: And it sucks. But I I don't know a way

403
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: around it. I don't. Yeah, it's gonna take a while.

404
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: Oh my mom and dad told me i'd better not

405
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: take it off today. It's just gonna go on for

406
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: a long time. Unfortunately. The one thing I will say

407
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: for me and uh, I would say about seventy percent

408
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: of the staff had their masks off and uh and

409
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: the dean of the school, one thing he did tell

410
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: me is he's like, I think it's important for the

411
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: kids to see our faces. And yes, yeah, they see

412
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: our facial expressions and you know, to really get a

413
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: handle on things going on on the campus. That makes

414
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: a lot of sense because when kids can't see your

415
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: facial expressions, you're only using your words, and that doesn't

416
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: always work. So, you know, it was nice to see

417
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: a lot of the faculty for the first time. I

418
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: swear to god, the ladies in the office, I had

419
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: never seen their faces. It was. It was so strange,

420
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: and some of them should have put their masks back on.

421
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: That's the problem day, right, because I you know, it's

422
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: kind of a lot of times women will get all

423
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: dolled up with a lot of makeup on. But yeah,

424
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: the mask. What's the point of putting the makeup on?

425
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: You know what? You got the mask on. Now you

426
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: gotta go back and do all that bulk crap again,

427
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: I guess you. Of course, who am I to talk

428
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: I have a face for radio, obviously. But I go

429
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: and I go to the lunch like I talked about

430
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: on yesterday's podcast, I go to work with the kindergarteners,

431
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: and that same girl Aria in the afternoon, she was

432
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: following me around and she said, I'm gonna marry you.

433
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm marrying Mr g I'm gonna marry you. And I'm like,

434
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: that's appropriate. She's hugging my leg. Thirty seconds later, and

435
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: and Ben, you know not that you get a big

436
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: ego from a five year old telling you they think

437
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: that you look nice without your mask. Thirty seconds later,

438
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: she was doing a very bad impersonation of me, sticking

439
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 1: out her stomach saying I'm Mr ge whoa who like

440
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: very unflattering, you know, uh talking ship. And I was like, wait,

441
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: thirty seconds ago, you wanted to marry me. You can't

442
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: out women five years old. She's already listen that the

443
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: rest of her life should be the same way She'll be,

444
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, twenty some years old, should be dating same bullcraps.

445
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: Canna happen some guy, some other kids that you know,

446
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: some other schools gonna be you know, the same age,

447
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna be dating her and be like, what the

448
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: hell are you? I don't understand what are you doing?

449
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: One final thought on the mask. I noticed that my

450
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: energy levels are way way up. I would say a

451
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: by you're breathing is labor, especially when you're outside and

452
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: you're chasing kids around and you have a physical job.

453
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: That thing was a killer. I would go home and

454
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: want to collapse. Now I've actually been coming home and

455
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: getting emails and stuff done because I still feel good. Yeah, no,

456
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Like the the breathing, it's not good,

457
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: it's not it's not eat And I'd be fully transparent here.

458
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: I always thought this was kind of preposterous and ludicrous back,

459
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: you know, even when it started. So what I I

460
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: would go walking when I lived in the old place.

461
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: And also this is nonsensical, but so many people felt

462
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: like if you didn't wear the mask, you know, it's

463
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: insubordination of society and all this bull crap. So what

464
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: I would do is, I'd wear the mask is like

465
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: a chin strap, and then I was walking, I walked

466
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 1: by people, I'd raise it up and then as soon

467
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: as I walked past them, I l I'd lower it

468
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: and that would be that would buy be my way

469
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: to get around it. But yeah, and I I feel

470
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: you on the showing up, the parents showing up and

471
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: giving the the stank guy, you know, giving you the

472
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: side eye, like what are you doing? I hate that?

473
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: And I see I see these pompous assholes occasionally, you know,

474
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: I go out to the store or something like that,

475
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: and I don't wear the mask, and there's still people

476
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: they look at you like, well, what's wrong with you?

477
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: But but there's part of me also thinks, in addition

478
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 1: to people being programmed and trained now that they have

479
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: to wear the mask, and they'll you'll take a long

480
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: time to change their habits. The other issue here is

481
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of people that don't realize

482
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: the mandate's gone. They just they think it's still going around.

483
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: They don't pay attention to the headlines and they're just like, oh,

484
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: it must be still going on. They haven't gotten the memo.

485
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: I think there's those people also that don't want to,

486
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: you know, they don't acknowledge the media in any way,

487
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: and they're like, I don't understand. I'm you know, they

488
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,479
Speaker 1: told me years you know, a month ago, two years ago,

489
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: to do this. I gotta keep doing it. You know

490
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: those parents that were like that on Monday morning. I

491
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: just gave them a thumbs up and an even bigger smile. Hi,

492
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: I like to saint, I'm figured, all right, you're gonna

493
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: flip me off with your mask inside your car, I'm

494
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: gonna smile at you even bigger. Yeah. No, No, I'll

495
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: walk around here and I'll take I take pictures. I

496
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: have a photo collection of people sitting in their cars

497
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: at red lights with mass I do and like that.

498
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: Those are our fellow human beings. We are all the

499
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: same here, We're all It's the most illogical thing ever.

500
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get COVID while you're on the freeway

501
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: by yourself in a car. And if COVID was that,

502
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: you know, contagious, then what's the point you know? I

503
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: mean you really well, you know, come on, what do

504
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: we do? You don't you have anxiety over that? Stop

505
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: stop with the emotional collapse and on it last thing here,

506
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna combine these last last two things. The that

507
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: we we tease, because if you tease Danny as you know,

508
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: you gotta please, you're swinging a miss and the ghosted,

509
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: which is really the the same, the same de Leo

510
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: here so real quick. So over the years, I have

511
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: been very blessed have multiple culinary establishments across the United

512
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: States named food dishes after me, and it's been very cool.

513
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: Some of them have come and gone. We had the

514
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: Mallard Pizza and Grand Rapids, Michigan. That didn't last very long.

515
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: We also had the originator, the o G in Syracuse,

516
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: the mal Zone, which is a it was a cal

517
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: zone with the Mallard touched. It was like Philly cheese steak,

518
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: but it was the It was really good. But we

519
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: still have we still have three items on the on

520
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: the menu of the various menus. We've got the Mallard

521
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: fowler at the Bird the Ballet there in Lawrence, Kansas.

522
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: We have the Mallard chicken Fingers at the Landing and Liberty, Missouri,

523
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: right near the Royals Chiefs complex there where they play

524
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: their their sports. In Kansas City. The Mallard Buffalo chicken

525
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: sandwich that's at three locations now Danny and Denver. That

526
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: place started with one location three locations the greater Denver area.

527
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: The sports Book Bar and Grill had that. I've had

528
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,959
Speaker 1: that sandwich, good sandwich. So I bring this up because

529
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: we we were close, at least I thought we were

530
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: close to having another food dish and the return of

531
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: the Mallard Pizza, you know, right. And so I'm bringing

532
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: this up because it's gotta kind of a disappointing part

533
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: to the miracle to the story. So I have been

534
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: corresponding with a fan of the show discussing the Mallard Pie,

535
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: and the plan was to add this to the To me,

536
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: the rule is, if you're new to the show, the

537
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 1: Mallard the way this worries, all you have to do

538
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: is put it on the man. You don't have to

539
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: pay me or anything like that. I mean, we occasionally

540
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: I will promote these restaurants from time to time and whatnot.

541
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: And so the Mallard Pizza's roasted garlic, bell pepper. I

542
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: like to throw different colors to make it really pop, red, green, yellow,

543
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: throw some onions on. There's very simple. It's a simple pie.

544
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: It's the kind of pie that will keep vampires away

545
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: because of the garlic and around of stuff. And so

546
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: so anyway, this establishment in the Northeast and the Boston

547
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: area was going to do this, at least that's what

548
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: I was told. And Uh, however, I think I need

549
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: to contact the ghostbusters here because Danny, all of a

550
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: sudden I have been ghosted, uh as it vanished, and

551
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: so I've I've decided since I don't think that's gonna happen.

552
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: I think it's been long enough. I think that we're

553
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: we've moved on from that, or they've moved on for

554
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: that or whatever. So uh, if and I'll just throw

555
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: this out there, nobody has to do it. Maybe nobody will.

556
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: But if there's some mom and pop shop out there

557
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: that I would like is interested in this, uh, then

558
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, contact me. And I I love promoting small,

559
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: small restaurants. I know how difficult it is in the

560
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: restaurant business. I've had friends in that. Not tough it

561
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: can be, and so I'd love to help me out.

562
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: And I'd like to bring the Mallard pizza back. So

563
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,479
Speaker 1: you can email me, contact me Ben Maller's show at

564
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. And uh and again the rules are

565
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: very simple. I have to just put the Mallard name

566
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: on there, some kind of food dish and then that's it.

567
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: And then we've we've had multiple p ones. I know

568
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: moving man Matt in Boston has done the matter of

569
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: food toward multiple times because he's got an excuse because

570
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: he drives a moving truck all over the country. We

571
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: had a few other listeners that have done that, and

572
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: then so uh, I've also thought of the if the

573
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: pizza is not a thing, how about the Mallard Burger, Danny,

574
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: we could do that. I've never had a Mallardburg, never

575
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: done the Mallardburg, so we could do that too. So

576
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm not going to cook on my knees. What would

577
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: the Danny Gee dish b if a restaurants like I

578
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: want to? I like Danny G more than you, Mallard

579
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: What would a food dish be for Danny G Radio?

580
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: What do you think that would be? Danny? What would

581
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: you come up? Let's see what was my go to dish?

582
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: I would say a pasta for me, some kind of

583
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: pasta like a fedecchini alfredo or something like that. Yeah, yeah, pasta.

584
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: Maybe a lasagna. Okay. It's a really great place here

585
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: called Maria's, and the pasta's outstanding. I mean, you would

586
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: kill somebody to get their lasagna and they serve it

587
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: to you in one of those hot tins. Even when

588
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: you get it home, it is super hot. And you know,

589
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: a restaurant means business when they're serving up lasagna like that.

590
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: The flavors are superb. So yeah, I would I would

591
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: like a nice lasagna. When I think of a mallard pie,

592
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm thinking maybe instead of a salami, maybe you do

593
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: a bologna. You are the Beethoven of bs. Well, that

594
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: would be funny, like a bologna sandwich or something like that.

595
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: That would be that would be funny. But you see,

596
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm on a fast right now as we're doing this,

597
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: as we're you're doing the podcast, and and you talking

598
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: about that pasta. Man, it's making me wish I had

599
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: some pasta right now. Or it's some kind of great

600
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: Italian food. My I had that last Friday night with

601
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,479
Speaker 1: my tender roni and we took it home and they

602
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: said it's gonna take forty minutes, and we're okay with that.

603
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: We knew they were making everything fresh, and we know

604
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: they serve it up really hot in there in their

605
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: tins that they send you off with. So when we

606
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: got that on the kitchen table and we spread it out,
