We got to 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:55.880 cover new podcast every single day, and I was very excited. 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:57.920 Danny G, who's with me on the Saturday pot, I 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.720 was very excited. Last night I was like, game, We're 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.840 gonna get a Game seven between the Celtics and the Knicks. 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.440 And Monday night I had my whole menu planned out. 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.320 I don't eat much, but on Monday night I was 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.959 gonna have a big meal and enjoy a game seven 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:19.000 in Boston on TV, sitting on my ass, and that 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:23.399 dream ended right around tip off last night. 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.080 Insert buzzer sound effect right here. 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.600 Wow, what a great effort by the Boston Celtics. Their 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.600 way to compete, boys, way to go out there and 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.880 fight to the very end. Down by forty one points 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.440 at one point, there was a right when the I 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.160 was gonna say when the game started, but really it 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.399 was like early second quarter that was it. It was 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:48.200 turned out the lots the party's over. So does New 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:49.840 York Now New York becomes the team? 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:50.040 Right? 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.880 They have to the NBA. From a television ratings standpoint, 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:59.720 you can't have Indiana and like Oklahoma or Indiana and Denver. Really, 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.880 combination with Indiana and whoever's left in the West would 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.440 not be particularly great for TV. So you kind of 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.200 need the Knicks, right, You need the New York market. 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.520 The other arenas you're not gonna get. Lenny Kravitz and 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.080 Ben Stiller looking straight into the camera. 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:19.840 I wanted to puke in my mouth. At the end 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.520 of the game, Danny they I realized there was nothing 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:27.080 to show on the broadcast. Had I had the audio 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.320 down because Doris Burke was on the broadcast, So when 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.200 she's on, that's a sign. 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.279 I think that sexist drop sexist. 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.440 No, No, I'm just I'm sure she's a lovely lady 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.799 and she's really good, but for some reason I'd rather 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.200 listen to nails on the chalkboard than her, So I 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.600 mute it. So I didn't have the audio up. I 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.720 know Mike Breen was doing the game and Doris and 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.800 somebody else, so I didn't have the audio up, but 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.520 I was watching it, and in the like the last 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.560 seven to eight minutes of the game, there was more 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:05.119 shots of Ben Stiller and Tracy Morgan and Spike Lee 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.880 and all like that's what they were doing, like to me, 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.560 And maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. It could be 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:15.520 completely the whole card is getting pregnant, Like that's not 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.639 the real Nick fan. That's like the fake Nick fan. 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.800 Those aren't the real Nick fans. Anybody's sitting in the 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.360 front row at Madison Square Garden. 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.560 Well, Tracy Morgan and Ben Stiller at least have been 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.600 seen at quite a few Knicks games. I don't recall 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.239 Lenny Kravitz and some of those other celebrities in attendance, 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.720 though obviously things get ramped up during playoffs. 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:41.680 Well, and it's like, as Howard Stern mentioned on his 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.120 his thing the other day, like he he's like, I'm 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:45.840 not going to the Knicks games unless I get a 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.920 front row seat because they assigned the tickets based on 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.040 your celebrity status. So if you're not in the front row, 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.640 that means you're deemed a B list celebrity. So you're 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.680 either A list in the front row or B list 0:03:58.080 --> 0:03:58.520 in the back. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.280 But no, like, didn't the podcast could get a spot 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.400 out with those fans by the corridors. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.800 Yeah, yeah, I think No, we'd be actually in Penn Station. 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:09.560 We'd be underneath Mas the Square Garden. We would be 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.560 down there cleaning the toilets in the battlem You know, 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.200 it's like it's like, listen, the New York Nick fan, 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.880 the die hard fan. That's not that I know whose 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.159 celebrity people love celebrities don't. I'm over it. I can 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.760 call me what you want. I'm over it. It's it's 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.560 annoying to me. But congratulations to the Knicks. They kicked 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:31.799 the Tale of the Celtics a total soup to nuts. 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.840 They showed a few celebrities in attendance at your new 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.200 Clippers arena. During the few the handful of playoff games, 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:40.160 you guys were. 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.320 Thinking about it, like the Clippers. I didn't mention the Clippers. 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.200 You mentioned the Clippers. I didn't bring up the no. 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.920 But I'm saying I know you hate it, but they 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:51.440 did show you know, like, who is it the dead 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.760 corpse of Was she la Verne or Shirley? 0:04:54.480 --> 0:05:01.520 Well, she died several years ago. I dare you, is 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.279 there anyone? I guess there's maybe one or two people. Actually, 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.000 Lavernon Shirley was a popular show, like in the seventies, right, 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:09.400 the seventies and eighty seventies. 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.400 Probably, Hey, I don't know, because we saw reruns. I 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.000 think that's the show our parents saw when it was 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:15.560 actually on. 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.000 It is odd though that I in the course of 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.920 my yap of the app career, I got to know 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:28.000 Squiggy Dave Lander, who passed away all seasons. 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:29.440 Oh yeah, he was a good actor. 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.520 He was a good he loved baseball. He actually worked 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.719 as a scout for several teams, and I got to 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.000 know him a little bit in the press box. He 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.679 was cool. And then, as you mentioned Laverne from Lavernon Shirley, 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:46.000 she was a huge basketball fan. And there was an 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.680 incident Marshall, Yeah, Penny Marshall, But there was an incident 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:53.240 at Staples Center where a couple of media guys got 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.280 in a couple of camera guys got into a dust up. 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.920 This is back in the Shaq Kobe Laker days, and 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.559 a couple of camera guys got into a shouting match 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.680 and we're pushing each other trying to get positioned around 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.240 Shack's locker waiting for Shack. So there was a bit 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.479 of a rhubarb in locker room. So we a couple 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.719 of us came walking out. Oh man, that was quite 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.000 the fun. And Penny Marshall comes running up to me. 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.240 She was so excited. She was she thought like the 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.240 Laker players were fighting with each other, and she was 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.240 very disappointed to find out. No, it was just a 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.760 guy from Channel five versus the guy from Channel two 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.680 that were shoving each other in the locker room because 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.560 they were trying to get positioned to get the proper 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:34.560 camera angle and all that. It was a good Now. 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:38.279 The game last night, the Celtics and Knicks, no contest, 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.720 not much to talk about, not good talk radio, but 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.360 there were some good sports stories, and it was one 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.000 of those things like last night, Danny, I was like, man, 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.560 I would have loved to do the show because there's 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.320 a lot of meat on the ball and sometimes you 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.120 come in there and you're just throwing stuff together and 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.200 you're you're you're doing Ramen noodles, and there was a 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.520 lot of meat. You had the brock Party contract. Great 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.840 news for the Rams, great news for the car Awks. 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.839 I mean, mister irrelevant will turn the forty nine ers 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:05.960 into irrelevancy. So good job. 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:11.320 Yeah, fifty three million a year. What he's a thirty 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.760 million dollar quarterback. He's getting fifty three million dollars. 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.560 The guy that does not elevate his teammates. So good luck. 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:21.680 And I'm very happy for Terry and England and you know, 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.480 so the forty nine er fans or nest though and 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.320 you guys that love the forty nine ers that are 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.040 listeners to the show because you enjoy that you got 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.760 your quarterback. He won't make anyone better. 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:36.240 And as the roster, what he does do well with 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.280 what's around him there, he works well in that system. 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.240 So oh yeah, he's a good system quarterback. It's good 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:41.480 for him. 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.160 Yeah, he's a good system quarterback. 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.000 And I gotta tell you, as you know, no animosity 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.000 Danny for the forty nine er fan, as a RAM fan, 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.400 I fully endorse this. I think it's great. I think 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.760 you should have gotten more. I think you should. Why 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.320 stop it? Was it one hundred and eighty one million 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.280 or something like that? Why stop there. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.720 One to eighty one was guaranteed? Yeah. 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.280 Yeah, that's really the most the most important part. What 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.520 else I read the last night there or yesterday was 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.760 a story that I think it was Adam Schefter said 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.080 that the NFL is going to ban the tush push 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.840 this coming week during the owners meetings. I mean, then 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.960 this is kind of obviously they because they pushed it back. 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.239 Remember we talked, we all talked about this a couple 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.680 of weeks back at the owners the owners meetings they 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.239 had in. 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:29.320 That's right, and they tabled it. 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.640 They hit the pause by yeah, which is a way 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.480 of all right, what teams need a favor from the league, 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.400 We'll get them to vote against the Toush push to 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.319 kick it out. And uh, I think it's I think 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.560 it's as dumb to ban the Toush push as it 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.280 was for Major League Baseball to say you can't do 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.800 the shift. It's just to me, it's stupid. Find a way. 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:52.480 It's stupid. 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.600 But I don't think it ever should have been allowed 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.440 in the first place. Now that it's there, just leave 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.960 it alone. But it it doesn't make sense with the 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.160 forward progress of that game. It doesn't make sense. 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.600 Yeah, it's just people that are pissed off because they 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.679 can't do it, because really there's only been a couple 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.079 of teams that have consistently been able to pull it off, 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.320 and nobody can do it like the philadelph Eagles can 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:14.600 do it. 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.680 Well, you know when I knew it was over though, 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.760 you're a boy from the Chiefs on defense hurt his 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:24.200 neck trying to stop it in the Super Bowl, remember, Yeah, Well, 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.240 as soon as I saw that injury and I was like, oh, 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:28.319 that play is going away. 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.880 The one that did it for me where I thought, well, 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.880 this is really not going to be around is remember 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:38.200 the Washington Philadelphia playoff game where the referees came on 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.559 because the Commanders kept jumping off sides trying to they 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:42.319 were trying. 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:45.160 Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, the dude kept flying in 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.280 the air on defense off sides every play. 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:48.560 What do you go like three in a row. 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.240 Yeah, and the referee got on the PA system. We 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.319 can award a score. 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.640 That's right. That was awesome. Imagine do you give a 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.600 tea None of us knew that either. None of us 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.720 knew that rule. We were like, that's a weird rule. 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.520 Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.760 So that was a good story. That would have been 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.960 a monologue on the Overnight Show if I had one 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.520 last night and then the other one. Your boy, your guy, 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:17.160 Danny G's guy, Derek Carr. Who there's some Weasley stuff. 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:18.200 Guy that ain't my guy. 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.960 There's some Weasley stuff, mo Man Weasley stuff moment. 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.720 How about the rumors that his team talked to two teams. 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:30.520 Yes, yes, yes, retirement. So if you have a debilitating 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.559 injury that you must retire from the NFL, why are 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:38.920 you shopping around trying to go work for some other the. 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:40.960 I told you this whole thing. 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.600 I told you back when he first announced his injury 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.280 that it smelled really fishy. I don't think we've seen 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.360 the last of him. I say he comes back for 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.560 another team. I just don't see him leaving the NFL 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.640 like you think he's done. What has he made something 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.120 like two hundred million dollars. 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.280 He's done very well. And I pointed out in a 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.240 previous the radio show I did a monologue. I put 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:10.000 it out, Derek Carr has a role. If you were 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.840 to assign we love the blame, the blame pie, and 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.480 if you were to assign blame on how the Raiders 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.800 ended up leaving Oakland, some of that blame. Now, you'd 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.400 always just blame politicians, right, and the Davis family whatever. 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.720 But if you look at the history of stadiums and 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:32.400 money and taxpayer money, Derek Carr was the last hope 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.560 for the Oakland Raiders as a quarterback, and he just 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.320 wasn't good enough with the Oakland Raiders. If he had 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:43.720 been the real deal and the Raiders had actually had 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.040 success and gone to the Super Bowl, I bet you 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.200 they get the money and there's still the Oakland Raiders. 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.199 But you know, he played a role in that anyway. 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.600 And ultimately, what he thirty, he's gonna be thirty four. 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.320 You know what, Ben I wanted to at least see 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.240 how that twenty sixteen season would have wound up. He 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.920 was a different guy and a different player back then 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.720 that they were twelve and three when he went down 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.000 with that injury, they were the best in the West 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.800 and he was on a roll. He definitely would have 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.520 won at least one playoff game because the Texans stunk 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.520 in that wild card game and they still were able 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.600 to beat the Raiders back up to the backup. 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.199 Remember who was the Raiders quarterback in that playoff game, 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.719 because at the Texans their backup too, right, it was 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.000 backup versus backup? 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.880 Was that it was the third string Raider quarterback. 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.800 Remember again, was brock Oswiler playing though? Was he? 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.640 Os Wiler is the one that won it for the Texans? 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.040 Well won it in it loose and it was that 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.360 Raider rookie. God, I can't even think of his name 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:43.760 right now. 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.240 You are how soon we forget that's guy started a 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:47.920 playoff game. 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.360 He had no business playing in that game. He looked. 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.000 Remember he kept holding onto the ball too long and 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.000 the Texans defense was all over them. 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.720 Oh I remember, I remember they were like, what are 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:02.080 we watching? Why is this a playoff? 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:02.360 Right? 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:08.600 I think Derrek Carr's entire career changed, obviously from that injury, 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.080 because he would have made at least a deep run 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.480 into those playoffs if not gotten that team because they 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.840 had a good defense, a really good defense that season 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.760 as well. Every week they went out there, they looked 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.240 like they were one of the top three teams in 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.880 the NFL in twenty sixteen. I remember pinching myself. It 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.960 felt like a weird dream that year. They had sucked 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:30.880 so bad in the years, you know, leading up to 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.640 that one. It's broke, it's broke. He never he never 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:38.600 bounced back from that. He was always real fidgety in 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.720 the pocket. Remember if a shadow got near him after 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.400 that injury, he would drop down like a sack of potatoes. 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:44.920 Yeah. 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:46.480 No, he was. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:50.600 Always like the easy year standard. He wasn't terrible, just 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.480 you don't. You don't want him in any kind of 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.080 pressure situation, and you look at the numbers and then 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.160 you watch the game and it's not it doesn't add up. 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.560 Like the numbers don't look terrible for Derek Carr most 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.040 of the time, but when you watch the games, it's 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.160 like they're not. He's not making plays to win games. 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:07.920 He's just kind of. 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.040 He had that makeable fourth down play against the Bengals 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.959 the last time the Raiders were in the playoffs, and 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.520 what did he do? He threw the ball away on 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:18.200 fourth down. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:19.640 Oh, in the back of the end zone if I 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:20.280 remember correctly. 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.880 Yeah, the short came the pass came up really short, 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.360 but he had a wide open receiver in the end zone. 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.440 That was Derek Carr in a nutshell. He at times 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.840 had the worst field vision, but he was a gamer. 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:36.000 I remember other plays and other games where he would 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.200 look incredible and you would come away from the game like, man, 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.440 maybe he is a star quarterback. And then there'd be 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.520 other games where he would throw Philip Rivers type interceptions 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.840 and you would walk away scratching your head. So he 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.280 was a really confusing quarterback to try to root for. 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.280 Well, it's like when you were Daton, Danny and the 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.280 girl that would flirt with the bar. You think, oh, 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.360 I got a shot here, and then yeah, yeah, oh me, 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.520 no shot. All right, we're doing wait, too much sporty stuff. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:06.000 So on this podcast we have the wedding crashers. We've 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:12.000 got a very special moment. I want to starry this. 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:16.960 So last weekend I attended my presence was requested via 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:21.720 my wife to attend a wedding for the in laws, 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:23.640 and so we traveled. 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.880 Yeah, this is where you start doing the conga. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:31.480 Well, it was pretty interesting. So we went to beautiful Beaumont, California, 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.400 which is kind. 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:38.280 From PanAm Prana from Frano. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:43.360 Yeah, kind of near Palm Springs but not and kind 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.360 of it's past riverside in southern California. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.360 It's San Bernardino County. It's out in Styx. 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.520 Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. So I I was very excited. 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.320 I told the wife, I said, listen, we are staying 0:15:56.560 --> 0:16:01.920 at the top hotel in Beaumont, and actually the only 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.520 hotel in Beaumont. We spent the night there and it's 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.760 so beautiful. They actually have vending machines. You can get 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.960 any variety of Matthe you want, Danny and they've got 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.320 a f vanding machine right there. So it's really just wonderful. 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.160 But not even eight out of five stars, because it's 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:17.920 a super eight. 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:21.800 So we went out there, got all dulled up, you know, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:23.440 get ready for the big wedding there, getting it all 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.680 dressed up in the in laws hanging out there. It 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.000 was a nice wedding at this big they had rented 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.960 out this mansion. Now, I did not realize there were 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.320 nice houses there up in the hills. I had no idea. 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.680 When I think of Beaumont. I think of people all 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:40.600 strung out on pharmaceuticals and you know, drugs or whatever. 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.480 So they had these really nice mansions up in the hills, 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.520 which I had no idea, and they had rented out 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.600 this mansion. So we went to the wedding, got all 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.640 dressed up, and it was it was fine. 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:53.320 And yeah, this is like when you used to go 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:54.800 to diddy parties back in the day. 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.400 You know, you get the baby oil on one side, 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:58.880 you know, you're ready to go. So we were. We 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:02.840 were there doing our thing, and the gentleman that was 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:07.399 getting married into the family, my wife's family. It was 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.560 a he's a little bit of a mix up, you know, 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:15.520 different different background, but he It was like a Greek 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.640 Latin type wedding, if that makes any sense. 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.440 To you, a Greek Latin fusion pretty much. 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.000 Yeah, pretty much. And I was just in for whatever, 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:26.760 you know. I was like, hey, open bar. I don't 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.399 drink much, but I'm in Beaumont, so I'll probably have 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:34.040 a couple. So I went out and so it was. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.720 It was the kind of a night where a couple 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.840 of things happened that I will remember for many, many years, 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:45.199 including schmoozing before that, they had the wedding. They had 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:49.359 the open bar, and it was on this courtyard on 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:53.040 the side of this mansion overlooking the hills, and it 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:56.119 was really a beautiful setting. The sun was setting and 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:58.879 we were all drinking and they had a shark couterie 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.359 boards out which he and crackers and all that. So 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:05.120 I'm wandering around and I'm an introvert, but I'm trying 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.000 to be polite and talk to people, and people are 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:08.720 coming up and asking me stuff whatever. So I'm going 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:11.480 around and I knew a few people, some people didn't know. 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.600 Whatever. Are you working sports? Who's gonna win the Super Bowl? 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:20.840 Oh? God, yes, pretty much every conversation. Yeah. So the 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:26.200 wife says, oh, yeah, my uncle fell down. He fell 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.760 down there and he passed out. And I was like, oh, yeah, whatever. 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:32.320 So I thought she was just like busting my chops. 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.919 And then I go walk around the corner through this 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.640 little courtyard thing. Sure enough, her uncle had fallen over 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.159 and there were like seven or eight people surrounding the 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.119 uncle trying to get trying to get him back on 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.399 his feet. What's wrong? What happened? Is this a medical emergency? 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:53.800 Everyone's freaking out, So they take him into the mansion. 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.399 They put him down there, they've got ice. There's people 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.560 trying to figure out. Now he wants no parties. He says, 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:03.920 I'm fine, I'm fine, screaming. So, uh, you'll get a 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:05.960 kick out of this daddy. So it turns out that 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:10.480 the will call him the Uncle. He was enjoying the 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:14.480 the open bar, and then he went down to the 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:18.560 parking lot at the mansion and somebody else at the 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.600 wedding said, hey, I got some really good weed. You 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:26.199 should try something. Well, the Uncle doesn't normally do that. 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:33.600 He this saying, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, so 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:37.720 the so the uncle, the Uncle ends up again. You're 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.000 a pretty button up guy. Uh. He had a couple 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.760 of drinks. He goes does some really uh you know, 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:44.480 powerful weed. 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:46.800 Past strong medicinal. Yes. 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:51.240 Now keep in mind the people around him, they think 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.600 he's having a medical he's you know older, you know, 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:55.720 he's older than us by a number of years. 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.760 The word medical was involved, but not an emergency. 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.840 Yeah, So they everyone they they don't think of him 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.520 doing anything like that, right, So they think he's having 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.800 some kind of medical problem. And and so there's there's 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.119 like a couple of nurses that are there, and it 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:13.719
