Speaker 1: Anything that happens is global warming. Clearly on this podcast

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: we have the mailbag. But there was some stuff that

21
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to get to from the weekend Friday Saturday

22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: I didn't get to and I guess I'll start with

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: this the wedding singers. So I mentioned yesterday that we

24
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: had the nacho situation. I was doing some community service

25
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: at the local high school snack bar for football and

26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: was the nacho guy, and then I tried to help

27
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: weed man hippie out and was left very frustrated, very frustrated.

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: So we had that. But then also I found out

29
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: from the wife that we got VIP. We were offered

30
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: a VIP all access passed to a wedding. Now I

31
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: didn't want to go to the wedding because I you know,

32
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: why would I do that. But my wife's like, she's like, listen,

33
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: good news, you gotta get all dressed up. We're going

34
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 1: to a wedding tonight. I'm like, oh boy. Now, keep

35
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: in mind, I didn't know the person that was getting married.

36
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: I didn't I maybe met that one time. It was

37
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: one of the people my wife works with who it

38
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: was her wedding, and fine, nice, nice woman whatever. But

39
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: it's always like it's always weird to me, Like, you know,

40
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: I feel like the whole wedding things like friends, close family,

41
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: like close friends family. I'm not a friend. I'm not

42
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: like close family. I don't it was. So I show

43
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: up and it was a wedding in the lowest feelss

44
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: neighborhood of Dodgers date. Now, if you heard the Friday podcast,

45
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: you might remember potato again. Where I was leaving the

46
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: TV show, the entire five freeway at Stadium Way near

47
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium was closed for about twelve hours, maybe longer

48
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: than that, because a truck had spilled over an entire

49
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: load of fries and there were potatoes in the air everywhere,

50
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: and it caused me to get By the time I

51
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: got back home, you know where I lived, Nanny about

52
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: two hours of sleep and then I had to get

53
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: right back up and get ready for the radio.

54
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: Show opening NFL night. You're going to have nachos and

55
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 3: French fries.

56
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So as when I was younger, the

57
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: idea of an entire truck spilling over and having fries everywhere,

58
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: it would just be a dream. But this turned out

59
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: to be a nightmare. But that was in lose Phelis,

60
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: so this also kind of in that area. I put

61
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: my church clothes, my temple clothes on, I went out

62
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: and I went to the wedding and there were a

63
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: couple of things that stood out to me. Now, the

64
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: first thing that stood out was the presentation, I'm all

65
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: about efficiency. I think you know that about me, Danny.

66
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm all about efficiency. Se I pity the fool that

67
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: doesn't give me my burrito the quickest path that most

68
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: humans are wired. I want the quickest path between two places.

69
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: And at the wedding, you put up with the ceremony.

70
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: It was a nice ceremony. They did a good job,

71
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: but it's not my wedding. I didn't have anything to

72
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: do with it. I was just there because of marriage

73
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: my man. So after the wedding we have cocktails. It

74
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: was like an open bar thing, which was nice. Open

75
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: bar that's expensive, costs a lot of money. So then

76
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,559
Speaker 1: we have to go sit at the table or table nine.

77
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: So we go to table nine, and I was a

78
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: little hungry, wanted to have my meal. I know the

79
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: food's not gonna be that good, but I want so

80
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: at the wedding, they decide it's not only a wedding,

81
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: it's a wedding and a show. So what they did

82
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: was they had these people that were serving the food

83
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: at this venue and I don't even know. I'd never

84
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: been to the venue. I couldn't probably find the venue again.

85
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: It looked like it was just this little nothing on

86
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: the side of the road covered in ivy like it's

87
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: Wrigley Field. And then walk through the ivy and it's

88
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: like this palace, this mecca that they just hold weddings.

89
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: I think that's all they hold in social events. So

90
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: we're going there and table nine and they start serving

91
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: the food. Well, somebody came out and spoke and said, hey,

92
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: I'm here. You know, I'm the host and it's going

93
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: to have a great time. And the wedding couple sits

94
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: in the front. Everyone's staring at him and everyone's waiting.

95
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 3: The person that spoke, Is that the one that paid

96
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 3: for the wedding? Uh?

97
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: No, they hired a DJ. Oh okay, a wedding DJ.

98
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: Are you? Oh no, I've never done people's weddings, thank god,

99
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 3: because that's more of like a strip club DJ where

100
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 3: they talk in that fake voice like, hey, thanks for

101
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 3: coming to the wedding.

102
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there was a there was a woman DJ,

103
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: and she sounded just like that. She's so excited to

104
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: see everybody. It's great to be Yeah, good time tonight.

105
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: Coming up to the stage, chastitay.

106
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so again I was looking for the food. I

107
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: always saw the men, and the men you didn't look

108
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: all that great.

109
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: You know.

110
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: They come out with salad and then that's the first course.

111
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: Don't want that, I mean, why would you want that?

112
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: And then they have the meal, which is there was

113
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: actually some bugogi and some rice. I was like, that

114
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: can't be that bad. And then they had dessert. So anyway,

115
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: get to the point. So the food people come out

116
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 1: and it's table one and it's it's a show. What's

117
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: the I'm trying to remember the name. Remember the restaurant

118
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 1: where they put on a medieval Was it Medieval Times?

119
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: Was that the name of it?

120
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is the name of it.

121
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: Is it still around? I think it is, like you're

122
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: not Sperry farmed. So they this, and I think it

123
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: was in Orlando too. They might do in a few

124
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: of them where they'd have a show. Right, they had

125
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: a show and they present them. So these people came

126
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: out from the kitchen area and they were like they

127
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: were it was like a military like a North Korean

128
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: military drill where they're all in lockstep and they're high

129
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: stepping with the table. They come out, they have a

130
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: wooden plank. They put that out. Then they walk back

131
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: and they walk in order with the plates of salad.

132
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: They then pick up the salad and walk and marching

133
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: like they're in the military, and they wander over to

134
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: present the salad. That's fine. I mean, it was nice

135
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: to see the first time they did it. But this

136
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: wedding had a couple hundred people at it. You can imagine, Danny,

137
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: the amount of time that was wasted by them putting

138
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: on the show at every fricking table. And I was

139
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: getting annoyed because I knew I was gonna eat the salad,

140
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: and I told I told my wife, and I probably

141
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: embarrassed my wife and the people that were there. I said, listen,

142
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: just do the show a couple of times.

143
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 4: We get the show. We don't need the we need

144
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 4: the food, we don't need the show. And they kept

145
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: doing it the entire night, and then they brought out

146
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 4: the main course. They did the same thing.

147
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 3: This is like a nomar garciapara at bat with the

148
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: batting glove. Come on, hit the damn ball.

149
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: Or as I said, I felt like I was in

150
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: Pyongyang and a North Korean military rally, and they were

151
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: all high stepping and doing the I mean, it was unreal.

152
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: So fine, we get but here's the other problem. So

153
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: we get through the salad before the main course. They

154
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. You're at a wedding. You serve

155
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: the main course. Half the crowd leaves, right, Danny, you're

156
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: there for the food. Half the crowd leaves. So they

157
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: do the salad. I didn't need it because I don't

158
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: eat salad. It's against my religion. Other than the Canadian

159
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: South all a lot of Canadians. This was not a

160
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: Canadian sound. So fine, So the salad of syrup. Don't

161
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: eat that. And then the DJ gets up there and

162
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: they want to have the wedding party gives some speeches,

163
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: some toast to the couple getting married. So the bride'smaids

164
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: decide they want to start talking. Right, and we know

165
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: a little bit about public speaking, doing broadcasting. What is

166
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: the key to public speaking? Give me in your idea

167
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: in your head. And we didn't go over this, but

168
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: what do you think are a couple of important points

169
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: of doing public speaking?

170
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: What do you think they would be? I would say

171
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 3: quick wit and brevity.

172
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: Yes, the word I used is brevity. We like to

173
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: say in our business, leave them wanting more. I leave

174
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: them wanting more. Don't be long winded. We don't need

175
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: the full dance remix.

176
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: You know.

177
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: Don't give us up people tsunami.

178
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: If you tell us story. We don't need the exact

179
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: details of exactly what time it was in what restaurant,

180
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 3: where the restaurant's located, the name of all the people

181
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 3: that were at the party. We don't need all those

182
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: sort of details.

183
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's beginning, middle, and end, and get out of there.

184
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: These women keeve every effing detail of these stories.

185
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 3: Okay.

186
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: I felt I felt like I was being persecuted. They

187
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: had to enunciate everything, and it was a meandering and

188
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: rambling and oh my god, I probably shouldn't have done this.

189
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: But after the first one wouldn't shut up, and she

190
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: kept preaching, and then another bridesmaid came up to deliver

191
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: her sermon, and I then set the timer on my

192
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: I have an Apple watch, and I set the timer

193
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: and I was like, I told my wife, I said, listen,

194
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: these things should be at the most ninety seconds. I

195
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: think a minute, but I'll give you ninety seconds. Get

196
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: in have thirty seconds to set up your story, the

197
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: meat of the story for thirty thirty seconds to wrap up,

198
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: get out, and this next lady that spoke, it was

199
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: like seven minutes, seven minutes of being a squawk box.

200
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 3: Wow.

201
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then it gets even better. So I thought, well,

202
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: there'd be two speakers and that's it, and then we'd

203
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: move on and we'd get the food.

204
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: No. No, it was like they were each doing a podcast.

205
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: Yes, it was like they were they were speaking. It

206
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: was like the you know, the wedding was like a funeral,

207
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: and they wanted to give their eulogy. And I was like,

208
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: oh my god. So the third one gets up there,

209
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: and this get's even better. Another part of public speed

210
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: you have to be able to improvise a little bit.

211
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: Now you have your speech planned out, you do beginning,

212
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: middle end. But then the other part of it is

213
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: if there's multiple speakers and someone gives a story, don't

214
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: repeat part of the story because the story has already

215
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: been told. And one of the people getting married is

216
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: a huge was a huge Kobe Bryant fan, so they

217
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: all had they The first person that spoke gave a

218
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant quote from back in the day, and then

219
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: the next person after that gave the same exact quote,

220
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: and before they gave the quote, Danny said, I know

221
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: this was already used, but I think I need to

222
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: say it again, and then repeated it now. So at

223
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: that point I had had enough.

224
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 3: I can't.

225
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this is ridiculous. So then I said, I

226
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: got to go to the bathroom. So I just I

227
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: didn't even have to go to the bathroom. I just

228
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: walked away. I left to be able to go to

229
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: the bathroom. So then I come back and fortunately at

230
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: that point the thing and end. I actually walked outside

231
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: for a little bit to get some fresh air. So

232
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: I came back and now they're back serving the food,

233
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: but the same thing. Danny, I'm getting a show. I'm

234
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: getting a show. I didn't want a show. I'm getting

235
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: a show. And they bring out the food. They had

236
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: the table, they put the plates down, they march around

237
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: like they're in the North Korean military or whatever, and

238
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: it was, oh my god. So I was waiting for

239
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: the wedding singer to get out there, and we actually

240
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: left after the dessert. The dessert was pretty good. They

241
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: had this chocolate cook chocolate chip cookie with like cream

242
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: in the It.

243
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 3: Was really good.

244
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: That was a good dessert.

245
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 3: Who was all right?

246
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: I mean, but the weight is too much.

247
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole thing sounds like it was like five

248
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 3: blocks just to go across the street.

249
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a little much. All let's get to

250
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,599
Speaker 1: the I got some other stuff, but let's get to

251
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: the mailbag. What do you say you want to get

252
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: to the mail bag. Here we go, Let's get to

253
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: the mail bag. It's all right, thank you, OHIOO. These

254
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: are actual letters by actual listeners. The first one is

255
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: from Kevin in Kansas. He says, dear band and Danny g.

256
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: Though I'm retired, I still know when a new school

257
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: year starts. In school, we always ask students about career choices. Now,

258
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're both more famous than most. Where are

259
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: you today as related to your school day choices? So

260
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: I'll go first here. When I was in school, I

261
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: always wanted to be as I remember, I wanted to

262
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: be in broadcasting. I think as a child, I thought

263
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: I was going to replace Vince Scully as the voice

264
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers. That never quite worked out, but I

265
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: thought I'd be a play by play guy and I

266
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: could travel around and call games, and boy, that would

267
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: be awesome. And that would be my life. So I

268
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: remember telling teachers that that was my dream, and many

269
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: of them spat Lougi's at me, saying, that's not realistic.

270
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: You know you shouldn't you know? Whatever? What about you, Danny?

271
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: My first grade class took a field trip to a

272
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 3: local firehouse and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

273
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 3: And they let some of us slide down the pole

274
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 3: and look at the fire engines, of course, and the

275
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 3: firefighters came out and spoke to us. I thought that

276
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: was the coolest job. So as a little kid, that's

277
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: what I thought would be were on.

278
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: The pole was a little kid? Huh? I was attracted

279
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: to the giant metalcock. Oh damn you.

280
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 3: I thought that would be cool. But as I got older,

281
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: radio called my name, and I remember what was it

282
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: called Careers and Goals was the class my freshman year

283
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: where we had to write an essay about the career

284
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 3: path that we wanted to take. And when I wrote

285
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: my paper about broadcasting, the response back from our teacher

286
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: in the Careers and Goals class was that one in

287
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 3: five hundred people make it big and broadcasting you might

288
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 3: want to have a backup plan. Yeah, screw you.

289
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember when I was taking classes and they

290
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: were talking about broadcasting careers and I'm like, well, you know,

291
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: you might make it, but you're gonna have to work

292
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: in seven thousand different cities and you're gonna have to

293
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: move around, which means you won't have any relationships. You

294
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: won't ever get married, you won't be able to have,

295
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, a family or anything like that. They give

296
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: the whole rap. And but you mentioned when I was little,

297
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, when I was very little, I wanted to

298
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: be Gi Joe. I grew up near a lot of

299
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: orange grows. When I was growing up in southern California

300
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: and Orange County, it was actually Orange is there, so

301
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: I was surrounded by orange grows. But we had two

302
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: I was literally in between two military bases. We had

303
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: the and both gone now we had the El Toro

304
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: Marine Base and the Tustin Marine Base as well, both there,

305
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: and I remember on the open house. My parents would

306
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: always take us to the open house and it was

307
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: such a different time. I think I've talked about this

308
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: before in the podcast, but we would as little kids.

309
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: They'd allow us to like go through the tanks and

310
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: the fighter jets and sit we were like able to

311
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: sit in the fighter jet and the cockpit of the

312
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: fighter jet, and I'm thinking, like, imagine that they did.

313
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: There's no way they would allow that, now, right they didn't.

314
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: That's right. You told me before that the Gi Joe

315
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 3: that you met let you shoot off the Bazuka. It was.

316
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: It was insane, like like, I wonder whether that was

317
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: allowed or these soldiers were just bored and they're like, hey,

318
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: I don't care the kids sit in the tank. You

319
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: know who cares?

320
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm guessing that.

321
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: It was a long time was I wanted to be

322
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: that and then I was like after that, I think

323
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: I was planning on playing sports, but I did like

324
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: firemen and police officers, and I thought I could do that.

325
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 3: I did.

326
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: Never became Vincecully, but at least I met him and

327
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: knew him a little bit, so that was cool. Well,

328
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: and you did Dodger talk?

329
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: I did?

330
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I did. And I'll never forget when I

331
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: talked to Vin one time, I said, hey, Vin. In

332
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: my head, I thought Vin Scully is listening to me

333
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: driving home. Take calls about the time, and I said,

334
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: you know, vinnam doing the post GiB show. What do

335
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: you what do you listen to on your way out

336
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: to the valley? He lives out, he used to live

337
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: out when he's around obviously way out in the valley,

338
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: he said, Well, Ben, I enjoy classical music when I

339
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: am the definition of a loser. Oh well, Mike, and

340
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: Fullerton says, Hello, Benny and the best penny of all

341
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: time Danny g Radio. Let's go, he says, in response

342
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: to Alf's question from last week. No, Fullerton does not

343
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: have a sports book. We're not a town full of degenerates,

344
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: so we don't need one. With that said, Mike points out,

345
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: if gambling ever is legalized in California, sports gambling, you

346
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: better believe the biggest, most beautiful sports book in the

347
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: world will be built in the great city of Fullerton,

348
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: he says. And now that you're helping listeners set up

349
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: email accounts, are you worried you won't be able to

350
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: keep up with the flood of questions sent into the

351
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: fifth hour every week? Have you considered teaching people how

352
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: to use radio as well? It could be a nice

353
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: little side hustle from from Mike. Yeah, I think he's

354
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: referring to a bit that we did on the actually

355
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: got a couple emails about that Dave as well from

356
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: Salt Lake. I wanted to know whether or not we

357
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: were forced to do that or we did it on

358
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: our Now I should announce what I'm talking about. So

359
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: we I had a shtikola on the show the other night,

360
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: Danny where and this was not playing. I want to

361
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: be clear, this is not choreographed. Otherwise it would have

362
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: been good. It was not choreographed. So we got this

363
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: box and Eddie comes into the studio tosses me a box.

364
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: He says, you got some mail. So I immediately ripped

365
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: the box open. What's in the box? Well, it turns

366
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: out one of our great listeners of the skuy A

367
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: Reek in Minnesota had purchased some stuff for those of

368
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: us on the show, but he had messed up the

369
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: order and the wrong box came to the Fox, and

370
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: so we had said, hey, if you get a box,

371
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: make sure you send it back. And I apologize. Well,

372
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: Eddie didn't know that, and I assumed that since Eddie

373
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: gave me the mail that it was fine and had

374
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: my name on it. So I opened it up and

375
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: it was the wrong item. So it had to be

376
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: taken back up to the mail room in the skyscraper.

377
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: So I Coop didn't know how to find the mailroom,

378
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: so I had to direct him, and I used the

379
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: Rapid radio to direct him. And as our friend here

380
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: in Utah in Salt Lake and Mike and some other people,

381
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: I did not write your names down here we're trying

382
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: to figure out. So I was directing him, was like, hey, Coop,

383
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: you know you got to you go out of the elevator.

384
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: You go in the elevator, Go out of the elevator,

385
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: you know. I think it was like the fifth floor,

386
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: go through the double doors, make a right, go to

387
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: like the third door on the left. And I was

388
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: doing the whole thing, and uh and so it was

389
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: actually really good cause the Rapid Radio You'd thinking that

390
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: giant skyscraper, the thing would stop working, but no, it

391
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: was fine.

392
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 3: It was one. Yeah, it's a national LTE coverage.

393
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: Huh. Pretty cool.

394
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

395
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: I think we'll get to actually meet some of the

396
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: big shots from Rapid Radio coming up here. I'm looking

397
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: forward to that later later this month.

398
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: Here.

399
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: Uh, who else do we have? We have alf from

400
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: the gates of the Big e in West Springfield, mass

401
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: He says, gentlemen, since you've both said that you have

402
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: ties to Springfield, Old mass When did your relatives pick

403
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: up sticks and move their wagons west? So if that's

404
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: a that's a fair question. I don't have the exact year.

405
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: I know that my grandfather from when I was a kid,

406
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: the gentleman that spoke the Yiddish, and I know from

407
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: when I was a child he told stories about living

408
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: in Springfield during the Great Depression, so you can imagine

409
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: around that time and then I think he moved out

410
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: to California. I want to say, like the nineteen forties, so,

411
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: and I don't know how long he was in Springfield,

412
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: but I tried to find the house on the internet.

413
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: I think I talked about this before alf and the

414
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: house my We did find the address the house my

415
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: grandfather lived in in Springfield, Mass but it's now an

416
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: on ramp to a highway, so there's no there's no

417
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: going in the old house there. That is that is

418
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: got What about you, Danny, Have you gone back in

419
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: the archives find out the date of relocating from Springfield

420
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: heading out west.

421
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: No, I've seen pictures for my mom's collection. They moved

422
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: out to California in the mid sixties, so they they

423
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 3: left Springfield. I think she said when she was in

424
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 3: junior high school, my grandpa, I know the story that

425
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 3: my grandpa bought a home in San Jose for thirty

426
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 3: thousand dollars in the mid sixties. That, by the way,

427
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: that house just sold for two million dollars.

428
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: No, so you got two million dollars into the not me.

429
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 3: My aunt is in charge of that estate. She's not

430
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 3: sharing that money with me.

431
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: No money for you. I did see though, in pine Bluff, Arkansas,

432
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: you can buy a house there for four hundred dollars. Wow,

433
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: you have to be in pine Bluff, Arkansas.

434
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

435
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: And I'm told, though I didn't see. I'm told those

436
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: houses need like thousands and thousands of dollars just to

437
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: make them livable. But you can get the property for

438
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: four hundred bucks. I told weed Man. I was like, hey,

439
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 1: why don't you just go to Arkansas? Dude, you can

440
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: get a house for four hundred bucks. And he's I

441
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: almost to stay in Miami. He's anyway, I don't want

442
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: to go back. I want to go back to that.

443
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: Enough of that. Fred in spring Texas right since it

444
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: has Ben and Danny Hello, he says that your meeting

445
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: greets Ben, how close to he does your mental picture

446
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: of folks you've talked with over the phone match up

447
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: with the reality of meeting them in person. He says, well,

448
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't usually have that good an idea of what

449
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: people look like. There's some people it's kind of obvious,

450
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: like Surfer Todd the comedian, Like Server Todd the comedian,

451
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: I kind of knew what he looked like. In my

452
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: he looks just like what I thought he would look like.

453
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: I've seen photos of the aforementioned Weed Man Mark the

454
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: full name guys, so I know what they look like

455
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: when I go in there open minded. I don't really

456
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: have any preconceived ideas on what people look like. And

457
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: there's usually a fair amount of good looking people, a

458
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: fair amount of people that are average looking, and a

459
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: fair amount of people that are like me that are ugly.

460
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: I'd say, usually, how that is that these Mallard meet

461
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: and greets? But I only go in fred thinking anything

462
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: I would like to point out, though, And I don't

463
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: know whether I should make a bigger deal about this

464
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: or not. There is some chatter that an unexpected Malard

465
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: meet and greet could end up happening during the football season.

466
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: It will not be on the West coast. It will

467
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: not be on the West coast. That's all I can say.

468
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: It is not confirmed. I have no announcement, but there

469
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: were some people that contacted me recently about a Malor

470
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: meet and greet. They want to make it happen, and

471
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: normally I don't do these things during football season, not

472
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: traveling because I can't really go anywhere because of the gig.

473
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: So we'll see whether or not this works. I just

474
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: want to throw that out there. It's a possibility. Mike

475
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: writes in from somewhere in Ohio. I don't recognize your town.

476
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: You should probably name a bigger city. Anyway, Mike says,

477
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: are you guys excited as I am about Windy's and

478
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: their new SpongeBob item which is coming soon? Did you

479
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: see this? No juice?

480
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 3: All right?

481
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: Well good, this will be new. I'll get your reaction.

482
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: So Wendy's is doing a partnership with SpongeBob and they

483
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: are making a big deal, but they haven't promoted it yet.

484
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: They can be a bunch of commercials. They're doing the

485
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: SpongeBob squarepan. It's mythical Crabby Patty Ah.

486
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 3: I'm looking at it online right now, Yeah.

487
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: Which seems kind of cool, but when you actually look

488
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: at what it is, it's just the regular Wendy's hamburger

489
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: with a special secret sauce that they're they're putting on it.

490
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 3: I bet they have a secret sauce for that.

491
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a standard Yeah, it's a standard burger. Pungebob

492
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: never revealed what sauce he used. So they just like

493
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: cook something up and then they have some kind of

494
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: pineapple thing. Did you see that. It's like a pineapple.

495
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: I guess it's a pineapple frosty vanilla pineapple frosty.

496
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 3: That's gonna be okay.

497
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: Eh. Where does Wendy's rank on your big board of

498
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: fast food, Danny.

499
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you, I haven't been going there

500
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 3: in the past few months because they just start charging

501
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 3: way too much for what their food is.

502
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's across the board, right, It's across.

503
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 3: The pretty much. I mean, I think the only decent

504
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 3: value out there is for our family at least, is

505
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 3: we'll split bowls from Chipotle and three entree items from

506
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 3: Panda Express. Have you ever ever?

507
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 2: Oh?

508
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 3: An in and Out? In and Out is the place

509
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 3: that we go for burgers and fries.

510
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: What about the endless pasta at Olive Garden?

511
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 3: Have you been able to We are not an Olive

512
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 3: Garden family because the times we have gone there and

513
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 3: comes out of you. It's not I'll just say this,

514
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 3: it's one of those places where you feel it for

515
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 3: days after you eat there.

516
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that the Olive Gardens like Chinese food. Now,

517
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was Italian food. I know, yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah,

518
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, this has been I think till November seventeenth.

519
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: They have thirteen ninety nine endless pasta along with unlimited

520
00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: amount of breadsticks, soup or south back in the day,

521
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: my wife's grandfather, Luigi. This is a funny story. I've

522
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: told this before, but there's new people listening, I hope.

523
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: Otherwise we're just talking to the same people. So this guy,

524
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: Luigi was like authentic Italian from Italy, grew up in Italy,

525
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: moved when he was in his like third twenties, maybe

526
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: mid twenties, he moved to America and he's still had

527
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: an Italian accent and all that. I love. The guy

528
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: who was great passed away couple years ago. But the

529
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: funniest thing about Luigi, a guy that grew up eating

530
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: Italian food. They just called it food in Italy. He

531
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: loved the olive garden. We could not figure out why

532
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: he loved the olive guard. It was the most bizarre

533
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: thing in the world that he loved the olive garden.

534
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 3: It's the same reason why Mexican people love Taco Bell.

535
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 3: It's just like a cheap, unhealthy version of their food.

536
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 3: Like if think about it, your Mexican and your mom

537
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 3: makes pasole and homemade tamali's, Like you say, your mom

538
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 3: and your grandmother, they're famous for their tamalis. Well, none

539
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: of that stuff tastes like the crap at Taco Bell.

540
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 3: I think that was probably the fast food version of

541
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:07,959
Speaker 3: what he grew up on.

542
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you probably it sounds are you a psychologist?

543
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 3: That sounds I'm a doctor what he grew up on,

544
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 3: but way more fatty flavoredness.

545
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah no, But it was the funniest thing. And I

546
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: knew him the last few years of his life. Again,

547
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: like a finny, proud Italian man just can't get enough

548
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: spaghetti and fetucini at the the olive garden.

549
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 3: It was pretty Yeah, well you and I we've never

550
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 3: been We haven't had the opportunity to go to Europe

551
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 3: or Italy or any of that. Yeah, we've not got

552
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 3: to go to Sicily or Italy. But one thing you

553
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 3: do hear from people when they come back, they say

554
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 3: the food is good, but it's very simple.

555
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not like our version. It's like the Chinese food.

556
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: I've heard stories that American Chinese food is nothing like

557
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: the local delicacy in China because they just cover our

558
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: version with sugar and.

559
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, sugars and sauces.

560
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that that sweet spot that everyone tries to get.

561
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: There's that right combination where if you combine the right

562
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: amount of fat, sugar, and salt, it is just Heaven

563
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: tell me, it is just amazing, and everyone's trying to

564
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: find it. I did see there was a foody story.

565
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: This is not an email, but did you see McDonald's

566
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: is I don't think they've done this before. The Chicken

567
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 1: Big Mac is coming to the US.

568
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: I didn't hear about this.

569
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, the McDonald's has decided why not, we will. Uh,

570
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: this is a viral international McDonald's. McDonald's menu item coming

571
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: to the US soon. The CEO of McDonald's recent confirmed

572
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: that Americans will be able to get the chicken version

573
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: of the Big Mac, just what you wanted. The Chicken

574
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: Big Mac has landed coming soon.

575
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 3: A couple of weekends ago, we were somewhere where there

576
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 3: weren't a lot of options to eat, so I got

577
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: some McDonald's. I looked for a grilled chicken sandwich. They

578
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 3: don't even have that on the menu anymore. I had

579
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 3: to get a fried chicken sandwich and it was over fried. Yeah.

580
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: Well, they tried for a while McDonald's to sell all

581
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: these healthy things, and they realized nobody wanted to buy them,

582
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: because if you go to McDonald's, you don't want to

583
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: buy a salad or a rat.

584
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 3: Sucks. I would argue that a lot of us that

585
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 3: was our go to there because we're like, well, if

586
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 3: I have to eat here, let me get the healthy option.

587
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: That's true. However, the people that do the book the

588
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: bookkeeping for McDonald's, they're like, well, we're not selling enough

589
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: to make this, you know, just a the cost.

590
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, let's just cater to all the fat asses.

591
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: I saw a KFC. I was gonna do this yesterday

592
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: with the foody thing. KFC has a new item, limited

593
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: edition KFC ice bucket. You want to take a guess

594
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: how much that's going to cost?

595
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 3: Twenty dollars?

596
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: All right, twenty bucks for a bucket to put ice in?

597
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 3: All right?

598
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: Well, it turns out that is is wrong. The KFC

599
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: limited edition signature bucket.

600
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 3: Oh wait, limited edition. Oh that's got to be forty

601
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 3: dollars then.

602
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: Night, Well, buckle up, buckeroo. It'll cost you one hundred

603
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: and twenty nine dollars and ninety five cents. What one

604
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty dollars for an ice bucket? Does it

605
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: come with a lifetime supply of ice? Yeah? Good luck,

00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: a little a little cheaper. Wow, that is price gouging.

609

00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,080
