00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,560

00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: we're hanging out with you on a Saturday, Saturday Saturday

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: celebrating which is I would say the most important. There's

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of these dopey holidays every day, but the

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: one that's most important to me and dearest to my

16
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: heart is Flip a Coin Day. Today is Flip a

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: Coin Day?

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: Oh the passion?

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: Right, that's right? Three June, first most important day in history?

20
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: Is it heads or is it tails? Is it heads

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: or is it tails? And today I know who decided

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: we need a day for that? I don't know, but

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: somebody did. And here we are a perfect way. If

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: you have a fifty to fifty option, do you go

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: right or do you go left? Flip a coin. That's

26
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: all you gotta do. Flip it in the air, flip

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: it everywhere there you go. Do you know that Portland,

28
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: Oregon was named via a coin toss? That's true. I

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: think it was either gonna be Portland or Hartford.

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: I think I learned that on this very podcast.

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we talked about them in the back

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: in the day. But yeah, a coin toss also decided

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: if the brand Hewlett Packard or Packard Hewlett, and they

34
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: went with Hewlett Packard.

35
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: You know what else had decided? What is that whether

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: or not my older brother was going to give me

37
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 3: a Charlie horse on my left shoulder or my right shoulder.

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: How about this, though, I'll one up you. I'll one

39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: up you. Going back to Roman days, the legend is

40
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: that the great Joyous Caesar, who later on would be

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: known as the naming of Caesar's Palace. I don't think

42
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: his family's getting any money his relatives, but Joyous Caesar

43
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: forty nine BC, the Roman leader Juius Caesar used a

44
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: coin to make very important life decisions. So many of

45
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: the great Roman successes are because of the way the

46
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: coin landed. So yeah, how about that the great Julius Caesar.

47
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: You don't want to mess with Julius Caesar, man, you don't.

48
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: It worked for him. So it is National flip a

49
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: coin Day today. So really, my TV show, I hope

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: it comes back. I don't know for sure yet. Either way,

51
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm waiting to hear back from the network executives

52
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: on what the show comes back. But if it does

53
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: come back, I'll have to work in Julius Caesar's name. Yeah,

54
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: I'll have to.

55
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: I would be surprised if your TV show doesn't return

56
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: because there were dozens of yours.

57
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: How dare you? How dare you? I did tell the

58
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: people at NBC. I said, listen. I mean most of

59
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: my people can't afford cable television. Can we get on

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: the streaming? Can we get on the peacock? So I

61
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: don't know. We'll see if they actually listen to or not.

62
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 3: Like what's up Amazon, You're shitting this money all over

63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 3: the place by this show.

64
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: Well, I'm wor at NBC spent all their money on

65
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: the basketball because they're getting the NBA rights years I'm like,

66
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: there's no money for Benny versus the Benny. I'm like,

67
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I I need some fricking money here.

68
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: For not even going to have money for inside the NBA.

69
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: They better find a way. I think Barkley's gonna end

70
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: u at NBC. I don't have any insider information.

71
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you see when he was on the Dan

72
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: Patrick Show he said that he and his production company

73
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 3: are going to try to hire all the guys and

74
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: go independent.

75
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean why not. I mean, Barkley got f

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: you money. He can't take it with you when you die.

77
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: You might as well enjoy your buddies and get paid

78
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: to do it. And yeah, I mean sure absolutely. It's

79
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: also here's another dope, Holly. Its National Billboard Day today,

80
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: So that's that's been.

81
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: I have really good radio memories with billboards.

82
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have someone I have some good memories too

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: with billboards. Were you ever on a billboard like I was?

84
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: I broadcast an entire morning show in the same pose

85
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 3: that I was on the billboard.

86
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: That's great. We we had we did a bit one

87
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: year back in the I think it was in the nineties.

88
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: My god, dating myself, but the Clippers had a shocking

89
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: of Danny had had a terrible team. We're losing a

90
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: bunch of games. We were the Clips, so we put

91
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: our morning update woman. We put her on a billboard,

92
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: camped out until the Clippers won a game, and it

93
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: became like a big thing, like the local TV morning

94
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,119
Speaker 1: news shows showed up to you know, here's an update.

95
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 1: She's still on the billboard. They put a tent up there,

96
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: and it was the plan was she'd be up there

97
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: for like a couple of days. But the Clippers kept losing.

98
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: So, yeah, that's the wrong that's the wrong team.

99
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: In the nineties, it sure was, but it was very problematic.

100
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: Was a candy man on the team.

101
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: It was around that time. It was around that time.

102
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: Needless to say that the promotion went a little bit off.

103
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: The tracks did not go so well. But so you

104
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: were on a billboard. I never I was supposed to

105
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: be on a billboard, but they did not include me

106
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: on I've never been on a billboard, so.

107
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 3: I got to be Basically I got to be on

108
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: that billboard twice, right next to the one on one

109
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: Freeway and beautiful Ventura, California. The other time, one of

110
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: my morning show co hosts was planning a wedding, and

111
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 3: he kept bitching about what a mess it was trying

112
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 3: to coordinate everything and how his fiance was getting on

113
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 3: his nerves with a wedding planning. And I looked at

114
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: him and I'm like, why don't we just marry you

115
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 3: guys on our station billboard? And we all kind of laughed.

116
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: We looked at each there and we're like, daw, that's

117
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: a good radio stunt. So we set it all up.

118
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: Took a couple of weeks. We even got recording artist

119

127
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: fun to be up there clowning around like that. But

128
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 3: I remember also we got a complaint from the Ventura

129
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,279

Speaker 1: you don't like billboards, you need to go to Santa Barbara. Yeah,

134
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: because they do not allow billboards. There are no billboards.

135
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: There are no poll signs, there's no neon signs. They're

136
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: not allowed in Santa Barbara. No poles in the sea.

137
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 1: They keep everyone off the pole. In Santa Barbara.

138
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: They do not experiment rhino there.

139
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: Well, hello on this pot. We got mister Maler's Wild Ride,

140
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,560

141
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: phrase of the week, pop culture. You got some other

142
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: things to get to, but we'll start with this. So

143
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: this past weekend, I had what was just going to

144
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: be a standard, normal night, standard normal night. It always

145
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: starts out like a normal night. Then it goes sideways. Say,

146
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: this is the worst roller coaster ride ever. So I'm

147
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: cruising and I'm driving on the Highway twenty two, which

148
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: is the twenty two, which is not normally not normally

149
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: a road I travel on. But we had to run

150
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: an erran, me and the wife and the family. So

151
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: we're out. We're running an errand and we're right near

152
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: If you're familiar with southern California, which most people who

153
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: listen to this podcast are not. An amusement park which

154
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: is very cheap to go to, by the way now,

155
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: and it's like four payments of thirteen dollars you can

156
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: get a season passed a knots Berry Farm. Yes, so

157
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: we're cruising in that area around knots Berry Farm and

158
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: just normally my wife's driving because I was a little tired.

159
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: So the wife's driving, I'm in the passenger seat, and

160
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, kaboom, whoa what happened? And I

161
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: see this piece of something go flying in front of

162
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: the car and roll off to the side of the road.

163
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: And I realized, wait.

164
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: A minute, it was a dead body.

165
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: I would have made this even worse. That was the

166
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: right front tire of the car that we were driving

167
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: had come off the car and was blown to smithering.

168
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: What don't tell me this is that same jinxed car

169
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: that you guys. No, this is a different car.

170
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: So here's the thing though, So my wife's driving, I'm like,

171
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: all right, get pull it. We're in in the fast lane,

172
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: but we're not in the car poolane. So we're in

173
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: the fast lane, we're not in the car poolane, So

174
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, get pull over to the left because that

175
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: was the close. I just get off the road. Pull

176
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: over the left. We got to get off the road.

177
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: So she very calmly pulls over. She did a great job.

178
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: So this is a holiday weekend, right, people are zooming

179
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: all over the place. So we're we call. She contacts

180
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: the auto club because I didn't want to get out

181
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: change the tire. I mean, it's my god, we're I

182
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: mean it's cars zooming by. So we're sitting there waiting

183
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: in the auto clubs like, oh, we'd be there in

184
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: thirty minutes, you know, but we're sitting there. We can't

185
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: go anywhere, but we're inches away. This is the most

186
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: heart pounding experience I've had. You know how crazy people

187
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: drive on a holiday weekend. Everyone's driving eighty five ninety

188
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: ninety five miles an hour. It's the autobhn and you're

189
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: a sitting duck and I'm I'm the one on the

190
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: passenger's side, so I'm not that it matters that we

191
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: get hit. We're both you know, it game over, game

192
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: over for the Malor family. So we're like less than

193
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: a foot away because the car wasn't all the way

194
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: over to the to the left hand side. It was

195
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: still a little bit of you know, room in between

196
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: zoom zoom zoom, and my heart is I'm like, man,

197
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: this is this is wild. So we again try to

198
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: get an update from Triple A and you know, thirty

199
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: minutes whatever. So finally my wife, she knows what to

200
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: do in these situations, not panic like me, So she

201
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: calls nine to one one. She's like, hey, we got

202
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: you know, we got a situation here. And so fortunately

203
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: the California Highway Patrol came very rapidly, and I am

204
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: responsible for a traffic break. Well I wasn't the tire

205
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: blew out on mister Mahler's Wild Ride or the Mallard

206
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: Family wild Ride. So the CHP does a traffic break

207
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm still like, I know, you're not

208
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: supposed to drive on just the rim, right, didn't we

209
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: learn that, Danny when we were.

210
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we learned that from riding our bikes as well.

211
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, you're not supposed to ride on. So my

212
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: initial thought was I put my hand out the window,

213
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: on my head out the window and say I'm yelling

214
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: at the CHP. We can't drive anywhere because we don't

215
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: have a tire. And the cops like, he gets on

216
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: the speaker, just drive. He's like, just drive. You got

217
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: through your rim, He's all. We did traffic and it's

218
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: head spy. We did a traffic big dummy, get off

219
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: the damn road. So we drove.

220
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: So is that where they zigzag in front of all

221
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: the cars and make everybody slow down.

222
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, they did a traffic break for us. And

223
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: then they so they told everyone to stop. They stopped

224
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: the traffic. Then they come up and they didn't come

225
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: up right next to us. They used to bullhorn the megaphone.

226
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, pull all right, the traffic stop. Pull

227
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: its safe, pull over, like the right side of the road,

228
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: get off the highway right now. And so we did.

229
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: And this is a good life lesson. I didn't know

230
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 3: that that is what you should do in that situation.

231
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we really had no choice. I couldn't.

232
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: Neither one of us could get out of the car.

233
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't safe. And I've seen too many videos on

234
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: so the media of people getting hit by trying to

235
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: get out of the car and change a tire, and

236
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: then somebody whether they're drunk or not they come over, and.

237
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 3: Just just a lot of people not paying attention while

238
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 3: they're at the wheel exactly.

239
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: Futsing around with their phone or whatever. And so it was.

240
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: It was quite a hair raising experience. And I do

241
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: want to point out that while I was waiting, once

242
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: we got off the road and I was out of

243
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: harm's way for the most part, got on the tire,

244
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: I did go to the tire I've done so many

245
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: tire rack commercials, Danny. I went to the tire rack

246
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: dot com website and I went to try to in

247
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: my head, I'm trying to figure out, all right, how

248
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: much is this these tires? How much these tires going

249
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: to cost me? Yeah, So I went on there. I

250
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: was I was shopping on tire rack dot com because

251
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: I put my the name of the car, the mate,

252
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: make ear and all that stuff, and then they give

253
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: you all these different options on what kind of tires

254
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: you can get for your specific car, whether you want

255
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: tires for speed cruising and whatever, weather tires, and so

256
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: it was. It is a good resource to look at

257
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: and kind of shop around and price what you what

258
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: you want and what you need.

259
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 3: And that's how I got my handcooked tires. You know,

260
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: I'm going to isolate this part of the podcast and

261
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: shoot it over to Scott, our boss, and I'm sure

262
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 3: he will hobnob with the tire rack people.

263
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: No, it's true.

264
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 3: I mean I don't know. I know, that's why it's

265
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 3: a cool story.

266
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: I know my wife. My wife was like, what are

267
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: you doing. I'm like, well, I just want to see

268
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: what this is going to cost me. I mean, they

269
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: got all the tires here on tire recks, So I

270
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: mean I've done the commercial.

271
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 3: I was going to say, you read their live commercials

272
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 3: so much, you probably haven't memorized pretty much.

273
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point, I have the main name

274
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: brands I have. I have memorized for sure. I mean

275
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: I could literally play the piano, Danny, and I can

276
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: recite like a piano man. I can recite all the

277
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: different tire brands.

278
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at that professional segue. Last weekend, as you know,

279
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 3: got to broadcast live from Tempe, Arizona.

280
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: Now, I will tell you, Danny, I've been to Arizona

281
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: many times. I would say the hottest people are in

282
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: Tempe and Scottsdale in terms of as as.

283
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: Far as their blonde girls and long legs.

284
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: A lot of first round draft picks, as we used

285
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: to say back in the day, some lottery picks.

286
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 2: Women.

287
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 3: Guys we've worked with the are like, there's a lot

288
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 3: of talent. A lot of talent, yes, a lot of

289
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: high end talent. We saw some of that right right

290
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 3: when we landed at the Phoenix airport. There was a

291
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: group of nine girls and they were there for a

292
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 3: bachelorette party. And we know this because they were talking

293
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: very loudly. They were waiting at the baggage claim. They

294
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: were discussing how they were gonna split the bills on

295
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 3: this trip, and one of them said, don't worry, I

296
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: have an app on my phone and it's gonna split

297
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: all the bills nine ways evenly. And you know, we

298
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: have nothing to worry about. And Rich came over and

299
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 3: he's like, get a load of these chicks. He's like,

300
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 3: they're not used to paying for themselves. So when they're

301
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 3: all together and they got to pay for their own

302
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 3: drinks and stuff, they watch every single penny.

303
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: How do you think that would go, Danny? If they

304
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: were on dates, what do you think they would, oh,

305
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: come on, yeah, yeah, they'd order everything and not a concern.

306
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we get to the hotel, we did the

307
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: live broadcast, great audience participation.

308
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: Looked like a really cool crowd.

309
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 3: It was. It was a great crowd, yeah, really good,

310
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: good turnout. Great sounded good on the air, and then

311
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: we did a happy hour from four to six pm.

312
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: Even more listeners showed up because obviously they were getting

313
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 3: out of work and everything for the holiday weekend. So

314
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 3: then there's always at these graduate hotels remotes, there's always

315
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: like a little group of listeners that stays for the

316
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 3: after after party for show. All right, yeah yeah. They

317
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 3: told me they're like, okay, let's regroup downstairs in a

318
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: half hour. So I go up, I change my clothes,

319
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 3: I go downstairs, exit. Boom, that hot heat hits me,

320
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: Like I had no idea. It was like eighty something

321
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: degrees out here, and this is the evening time, and

322
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 3: here in California, we're a bunch of woosies because we

323
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 3: get the ocean breeze. Right yeah.

324
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: Sure.

325
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 3: So there's about fifteen listeners standing there and Rich says

326
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: we're gonna walk the neighborhood. We're gonna walk to some bars.

327
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: And I was like, all right, I like the bars part.

328
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: I don't know about this walking part. So we walk

329
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 3: about five city blocks until we get to some of

330
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 3: the big hotels there, like Omni and Weston. We go

331
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 3: up to the top like a skyview bar, and we

332
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: watched the Western Conference finals game. It was cool. It

333
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 3: was like a kind of a fufu. It was a

334
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 3: little too fancy for our likings. So the ringleader, the

335
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 3: guy that he does a morning show in Phoenix, that's

336
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 3: a buddy of theirs, told them, hey, let's leave. He's like,

337
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: we'll have one more drink at a piano bar down

338
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 3: the street. Now, Rich Davis from Covino and Rich his

339
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: eyes lit up. He was all about a piano bar, like, yeah,

340
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: a piano bar. And I'm thinking to myself, oh man,

341
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: this is like a Caucasian dude's dream right here, like

342
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 3: a wet dream for a dude who loves to dance

343
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 3: at weddings. Right sure, So we walked to this piano

344
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 3: bar called low Key. You go down these steps, it's

345
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 3: really cool. It's almost like you're walking into a secret

346
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: jazz club, except when we get in there, there's nothing

347
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 3: secret about it. The girls look like they're dressed for Hooters,

348
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: but in darker colors that I saw her booms. Now

349
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 3: I'm a believer. All right. That's the first thing we notice.

350
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: There's a strange mix of clientele. A bunch of people

351
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: turning twenty one with college aged parties, and then a

352
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 3: bunch of old people who look like they're at their

353
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 3: last hurrah, like last Supper, yes, last Vegas. Yeah, all right,

354
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 3: so it was a very strange mix. And then there's

355
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 3: like dueling pianos and one guy on a little drum

356
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 3: set and they are playing like all the white people

357
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 3: classics racist, whatever song you hear at a wedding where

358
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 3: all the white people get out there and start doing

359
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: the chicken dance, Dad is what they are playing. Hell, yeah,

360
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 3: Covino was. He was standing there like cool, standing by

361
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 3: the bar there, and I had the best laugh, man,

362
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 3: because Billy Joel piano man comes on. Rich Davis jumps

363
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 3: out of his seat and he is dancing in front

364
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: of the stage band. I thought I was at a

365
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 3: really bad wedding.

366
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: Now what level of intoxication were we at this point

367
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: or was this without intoxication.

368
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: I feel like he would have danced like this to

369
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 3: piano Man even if he was sober. But I want

370
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: to say at this point he was probably five drinks in, gotcha.

371
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he was feeling pretty good.

372
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: He was, he was, and so he's the whisper and

373
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 3: he was, oh, he was dancing and snapping his fingers.

374
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 3: It reminded me of Step Brothers, where that Billy Joel

375
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: Singer was one at the motherfucking Catalina wine mixer. Oh yeah, yeah,

376
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 3: Oh it was awesome, Ben, it was. It was such

377
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 3: great entertainment. And if you get a chance to go

378
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 3: out with Rich Davis at one of our events, do it.

379
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: Not only is he a really good dude, but so

380
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 3: fun to be out in the night life with. I

381
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: love a party. And when the song ended, he looked

382
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 3: like a sad puppy, like it's over see. He goes

383
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 3: up on the stage and this was the move. If

384
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 3: you want these guys at the pianos to play your song,

385
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: write it down on a little piece of paper with

386
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 3: a twenty dollars bill and put that in the tip jar. Okay,

387
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 3: so Rich writes mister Jones on a piece of paper

388
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 3: with a twenty and puts it in that jar. We

389
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 3: all want to leave at this point. Now it's midnight,

390
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 3: where like We've had a long day of travel and broadcasting.

391
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: We're like, man, let's go, it's time to go. Now,

392
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 3: time to call it a night. And Rich was like,

393
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: I'm not leaving until he plays mister Jones. So we

394
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 3: stood there for another thirty thirty five minutes. Finally mister

395
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 3: Jones comes on. The guy that the one of the

396
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 3: two guys that was singing it. His voice was cracking.

397
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: He couldn't hit that range of that song. Yeah, and

398
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 3: Rich was shaking his head. He said, I waited a

399
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 3: fucking half hour for this.

400
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: Well, he paid twenty bucks for it, though, I mean, yeah,

401
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: you paid twenty bucks. You're gonna stay till that song

402
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: is played? Yeah, he walked, pay twenty bucks, you're gonna stay.

403
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 3: He went from so high to solo. We walk outside.

404
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 3: We spotted a pizza pie by the slice place that

405
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 3: was open. Oh perfect, Yeah, we went in there. The

406
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 3: guy who owned the joint had Baltimore raven stuff all

407
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: inside this pizza place, so it was like a slice

408
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 3: of Baltimore in Tempe. And so we, uh, we had

409
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: some pizza, walked back to the hotel. It was a wonderful,

410
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: wonderful night, but I'm never gonna forget the low key

411
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 3: piano bar, because that is where I saw Rich Davis

412
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 3: go nuts to piano.

413
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: Man, I don't fake the funk. I guess he's gotta

414
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: kee him away. It's like he gets near water and

415
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, man, stuff happens. It's like a

416
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: Gremlins Now, was that right or rest being a water Tempe?

417
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: That beautiful Tempee Lake thing they got there? Were you

418
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: near that?

419
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 3: Oh we saw Yeah, we saw that from the skybar.

420
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: Very cool. I didn't. I don't know how long that's

421
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: been there. I used to go to Arizona for spring

422
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: training years ago, when you know, I was around the

423
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: Angels and stuff, and I don't remember seeing that when

424
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: an Angels train in Tempe. I don't remember seeing that there.

425
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: But I was there for the Super Bowl. Is that

426
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: this year? I guess last year? And it was really

427
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: like beautiful.

428
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a reservoir, Tempe Town Lake.

429
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's really really cool. They did a great job.

430
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: It is the fifth Hour, as you know, and we

431
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: have a tradition. I like words phrases, So let's get

432
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: to the phrase of the week, the phrase of the week,

433
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: praise of the week. This week is elevator pitch. I

434
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: do use this dandy in my lexicon.

435
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear this. I actually hear this

436
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: one a lot.

437
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, elevator pitch. This is one of the great word

438
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: origins phrase origins that we've had doing this podcast. So

439
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: you know who Elijah Otis is? Do you know who

440
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: Elijah Otis is?

441
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: The guy who does social media for our network.

442
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 1: No, this is the owner of the Otis Elevator Company.

443
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: All right. So back in the eighteen hundreds, when elevators

444
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: first became a thing, right, they were a death ride

445
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: that many of the elevators were not made well. The

446
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: cables would break and if the lift broke, the people

447
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: in the elevator would plummet to their deaths. You can

448
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: imagine that, And so people were so freaked out they

449
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: had the HEB GBI's and the eighteen hundreds when these

450
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: elevators came about, that they would just avoid the elevators.

451
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: As a result of that, the rent on those higher floors,

452
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, if like you go to Manhattan and the

453
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: very top of the building that has the view of

454
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: Central Park is ridiculously expensive, which is ridiculously expensive, and

455
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: so you have that and because back in the day

456
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: that was the opposite. The most expensive floors were the

457
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: lower floors because you didn't have to walk up a

458
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: bunch of flights of stairs. But once the elevator became

459
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: a thing, then they could charge more and people didn't

460
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: have to climb stairs. But anyway, bring that up, because

461
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: Elijah Otis was the owner of the Otis Elevator Company,

462
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: and he figured out a way to get people to

463
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: ride elevators. He had pioneered some new technology at the time.

464
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: This is a mid eighteen hundreds eighteen fifty three, and

465
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: it was a failsafe, meaning that if something went wrong,

466
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: you wouldn't die. The elevator would stop and someone could

467
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: come bail you out of the elevator. And it was

468
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: more like a wagon spring attached the cables that held

469
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: it in play until it could be fixed in someone

470
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: rather than its snapping and falling and all that. And

471
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: so in order to make a demonstration to prove to

472
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: people that hey, you're not going to die in this,

473
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: he was so confident of this technology that he arranged

474
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of media to come out at this big

475
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: public spectacle to show everyone how effective this elevator was.

476
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: And he used himself as the guinea pig. He used

477
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: himself as the crash test dummy. He stood on the

478
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: platform as it went up several stories in the air.

479
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: He then this is wild. He used a knife to

480
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: cut the elevator cable. The people watching screamed in horror,

481
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: thinking they were about to witness the man's death. But

482
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: he didn't die. He didn't die. And now if you

483
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: ever go into an elevator, chances are the name Otis

484
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: to this day is it's the Otis Elevator Company. And

485
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: it's still to this day on almost every elevator I

486
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: go into, the Otis name is there, and it's you

487
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: know that without that, that was the original elevator pitch.

488
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: Of course, now in modern times, Danny, it's more about

489
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: if you're in Hollywood where we live.

490
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, giving somebody your idea very quickly, because it's

491
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: just a short elevator ride with the executive.

492
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got like half a minute or so to

493
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: try to convince some big studio mogul. You're you're playing right, like, yeah,

494
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: you know, Jeffrey Katzenberg or whatever is in an elevator, right,

495
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: here's my movie and uh, you know here's what I

496
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: want to do and blah blah blah blah blah. So

497
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: the phrase of the week. I think that's a pretty

498
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: good origin.

499
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a really good one. Elijah Otis Man had

500
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: no idea.

501
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: What a dared devil? What are the things you do

502
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: to sell your product? And if you died, we wouldn't

503
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: have the otis name all over the elevators, But there

504
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: it is, elevator pitch the phrase of the week.

505
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 3: This would be like getting herpes on purpose to show

506
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 3: that the elixir that you have really works.

507
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: Oh so so so so so good. All right, I

508
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: think we'll get out on that dandy. We don't want

509
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: to go too long here because you have things to

510
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: do and I have things to do. It's the first

511
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: day of June, as we said it, the first of

512
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: the month. Get out and enjoy the good weather. At

513
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: least we have good weather. I don't know about where

514
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: you are, but usually not that bad. I did see

515
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: some wild storms in Texas. I did see that, so

516
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: a few places have bad ones.

517
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 3: And did you see how Barkley got fooled last week

518
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 3: on he thought it was snowing in Minnesota and somebody

519
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 3: said the video that somebody sent him. It was actually cottonwood.

520
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw the video from the Twins game. It

521
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: did look like it was snowing, but you got to

522
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: pay close attention because the people in the crowd were

523
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: not dressed up in winter conditions exactly.

524
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 3: It was a seventy degree day in Minnesota at the

525
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 3: Twin game, but it was cottonwood seed that was flowing

526
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 3: down from the sky, so it looked kind of like snow.

527
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, the best part of my favorite part of

528
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: that was the rest of the TNT night. It was

529
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley or was Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith. It

530
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: was like, shaq your big gummy, that's an Auburn education

531
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: right now.

532
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were busting as chops as well as the

533
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: viewers with all their tweets and everything.

534
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: That was pretty fun, really really good, really really good.

Speaker 1: Yeah. Well that is the famous line Danny. Right. The

553
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: most important advertising is word of mouth advertising. Yes, sir,

554
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: I know we're you know, restaurants. Yeah, if you recommend

555
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: a restaurant, I'm like, oh, he says, that's pretty good.

556
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go check that out, right, you know, I

557
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: want to see what that's all about.

00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 3: want to spit it out.

560
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And and and we're not supposed to say

561
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: this part out loud, but as long as you turn

562
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,400
