Yeah, I gotta get my fixed. 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:28.160 I love the coaching carousel. I'm all about the coaching carousel, Danny, 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.079 I wish we had a radio care So wouldn't that 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.040 be fun if we had like a radio carousel and 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:36.040 you could have bidding wars with random people trying to 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.880 hire you away and pay you great. Where would you 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:44.399 rank among the radio coaches? Well, I would be mid 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.440 level at best. That would be mid level. But think 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.240 of the bidding war like you could be a free agent. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.520 You can go anywhere. That used to be what radio 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:53.920 was like back in the old days. If you were 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.239 top notch DJ. We're we're around the same age. We 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.600 heard stories. I heard stories from guys that would there'd 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.960 be they'd be like the top DJ in Chicago and 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.360 they get stolen away by New York, or they were 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.920 in Boston and somebody in Detroit wanted them and they 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.639 bounced all over the place making tons of money. You're 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.040 a storyteller, so I figure you to be like a 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.680 Mike Leach. My I do enjoy Mike Leach. He's one 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.639 of my favorite coaches in college football. He's a bullshit 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.079 artist and I appreciate that. And he's a pretty good 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.640 offensive coach. And that guy has been all over God's 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.840 being earth as Uh, and then we'll schedule him. I 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.600 can get him on the podcast. Yeah, I'd love to 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.840 get him. You know we should get to is Brent Musburger. 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:39.440 I'd love to get musgled Hey. I love getting legends 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.560 on and uh and just blow But the the camel 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.280 flash story, they will start with that because exciting news. 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.680 Exciting news and the files of the life of Mallard. Uh. 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:54.520 This week, Uh, the Mallard Mansion became full again. An 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:59.440 old friend, an old friend returned after an eighty six 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:05.119 day since the bitch is back, Danny, what happened? Yeah, 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:09.160 the dog. The dog has returned, Bella. Where do you 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:17.599 think I was talking about women? How dare you? I 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.200 believe the clinical term for a female dog is a bitch. 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:25.040 But but Bella returned to the Mallard Mansion. If you've 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.400 been following along here on the Saturday podcast, I moved 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.360 apparently eighties six days prior to Bella returning. Actually has 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.840 been more than that, ninety days since this happened. But uh, 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.760 Bella was not able to live at the house here 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.640 it's a construction zone. We finally got enough stuff done 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.480 where it is dog friendly here deep in the North Wood. 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:50.400 So it's all systems go very excited about that my 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:55.840 old furry friend is back. It is not all rainbows 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.239 and lollipops, though, Danny, because there has been some tension 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.800 with Bella's return here, the family dog, here, the mascot 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:10.279 of the malle militia. Unfortunately, Uh, she has decided the 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:16.320 entire house is a porta potty or for dogs. Now, 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.279 when we had Bella before, she had been potty trained, 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:24.080 and then we moved to a temporary Mallard mansion which 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.760 was a halfway house, and she started shipping all over 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.000 the rental which was a problem, which was a big problem. 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.640 And uh, but she then was apparently where she's been 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.560 staying here with the the in laws. She was doing 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.200 pretty good, my dog. And now she has decided that 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.080 some kind of payback maybe for the eighties six days. 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:45.920 This is like an eye for an eye and shipped 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.200 for a ship, and she's decided to poop all over 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.440 the house. And the big problem here, Danny, is camouflage. 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.920 And you've not been to the new Mallard mansion. At 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.560 some point we'll get you over here. And uh, the 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.760 problem them that I have is the flooring that we 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.240 put in this house is the same color of the 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.919 dog poop that comes out of Bella. And so I 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.680 walk around here at night. I'm pretty much awake at night, 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.320 not during the day as much, and especially now because 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:18.600 the sun goes down, so you can imagine walking around 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:22.839 it's like dodging land mines, steaming piles of dog turds. 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.680 And I need a I need some kind of flashlight 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.920 or something when when I'm walking around it's I thought 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.920 it was wood colored, but apparently it's actually ship color. 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:37.200 I had no idea. Uh So, Also, Bella has taken 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.240 umbrage with using the doggy door. Apparently thinks she's too 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.680 good for the doggie door, which we spend a good 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.360 amount of money putting in the doggyed door thinking it 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.640 would be perfect for the dog. Danny the dog has 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.640 chosen not to bother using the doggie door, waiting for 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.680 one of us to open the door to get the 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.240 v I P service. Like so, it's a it's a 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.880 pretty much a disaster so far. And uh I remember 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.520 on the on a previous podcast, we had talked about 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:11.240 this and I didn't take good notes. Bella's got breath issues. Also, 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.200 I got a lot of issues with this dog. It's 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:17.280 an old dog. So I have to some some listeners 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.240 sent products. I gotta go back and check. Maybe my 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.840 email I can find it, because there are some things 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.880 you can get for dogs that have terrible breath. Have 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:26.920 you ever had are you a dog guy, Danny? Or 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.040 you are? You? Are you had the you'r a cat guy? 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.320 I remember you had the Do you still have that cat? Yeah? Well, 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.800 growing up I had both dogs and cats, and that's 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:39.160 the case right now. I have a dog and a cat. Okay, 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.560 I remember the cat. I remember you've had the cat 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.560 for a while. I remember the story when you got 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:48.240 that Yeah, yeah, the panther yeah, and then Mac Mac 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.440 and the dog is uh yeah. The dog belongs to 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:56.200 my fiance. Now she's not old enough to have health issues. 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.480 We're not in your territory yet, all right, so so 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.760 just keep the dog inside at night, you don't, I 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.360 I don't know if you know the story Bella got 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:09.080 bitten by a coyote at the halfway House and that 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.760 that was a nice couple of grands that you had 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.440 to spend on emergency surgery. And I know you have 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.520 lots of checking accounts where you set money aside for things. 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.720 Oh sure, Yeah, who doesn't do that? Danny? Right? I mean, 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.400 my god, I mean we all, we all do it, 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:28.400 and then you wake up one day and it's like surprised, motherfucker. Yeah, 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.600 there you go. You gotta spend spend a bunch of 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.719 money on that. But anyway, it's good. So it's good 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.959 to have Bella back all things. And uh is she? 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.680 Is it too old? I know that old the old 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.160 phrase that you can't teach an old dog new tricks 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:48.280 rights as Bella gone too far here where I can't 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:51.600 train her now to go through the doggy door again, 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.559 and and all that. So well, I know what's coming up. 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.360 And my mom pulled this on me and my brothers, 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.280 and I'm sure a lot of our listeners have this 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.840 happened to them when they were kids too. My mom 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.679 took our old dog, Charlie, who was a cocker Spaniel, 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:10.400 to a farmer's ranch for a better life so he 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:14.320 had room to run around. Really is that? What is 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:19.840 that what she told you? That? You're sure your mom 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.760 didn't drive fifty miles away and get out, get out fight, Oh, 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:28.560 get out of here. Pretty sure that's exactly what happened. Yeah, 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.280 here you know I'm not at that at that point, 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.040 but I don't know that I would spend another two 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.440 thousand dollars. You always say that, and then when in 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.920 the heat of the moment, they got you, Like these 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.960 animal hospitals got you because you don't expect your dog 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.199 to be attacked by a coyote, right, You're like, yes, 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.160 that you hear about that on the news, but you're like, 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.720 that's not gonna happen. And then when it happens, and 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.319 you're like, oh, I gotta do something. You know that 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.360 dogs bleeding, the dogs dying, You're like, all right, whatever, 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.400 here's all my money, you know, and it's like watch 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.280 where you step. Yeah, exactly. Well, now I just sitting 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.199 in my st vidio here and I don't Bell is 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.160 not allowed in here right now because I don't want 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.400 her pooping all over this place, because that would I 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.160 gotta be in here a lot, so I don't need 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:11.240 the the floor is covered with poop. Uh. So there 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:17.760 is that now the punk story, Danny, another story from 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:21.600 the files of the Life of Malice. So during the week, uh, 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.960 and you know this from working on the show, I 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.080 have to record a lot of commercials. Anybody does these 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.120 radio shows, you gotta record a lot of commercials, and 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.240 now because of the podcast, it's both for terrestrial radio 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:37.720 and for podcasting, And a lot of the recording is 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.840 done during the commercial messages that played during the show. 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:47.080 So we'll record sometimes we record promos, and uh, whatever 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.640 needs to be recorded, we'll often do it during the 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:54.240 commercial messages that are being played. So we're doing something. Uh. 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.920 So normally I am as snug as a bug in 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:02.920 the rug when it comes to this kind of content, 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:07.120 recording commercials done in a long time. Uh, this week 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:14.240 it was a tinder box, Danny. Uh, it was a 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:18.559 nightmare situation. I was bobbing and weaving my way around 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:23.079 a audio minefield trying to record these commercials. So why 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:28.599 was this random night different than all other nights I 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.920 was attempting to record. I had two thirty second spots 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:36.440 and two sixty second spots, so you know standard commercials 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.000 and radio sixty thirty and like fifteen, right, those are 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.480 usually sometimes five like a five second, but you don't 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.480 record those usually anyway. So I was up to my 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.439 eyeballs in spots and I won't say who they were. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.439 Four I don't want to I want to rip anybody's 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.800 who broke the copy. But I was told to read 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.360 the copy of verbatim, said, read the copy of verbatim, 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:01.160 which means don't miss anything, add anything, don't miss it, 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.559 and boom done. Um. So I read the copy. I 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.680 get to a thirty second spot, and for the life 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:13.720 of me, I cannot get the commercial in thirty secings. Now, 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:17.560 as you know Dan doing this radio stuff, when it's 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.920 a for radio, it has to be exactly thirty seconds. 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.839 It can't be twenty nine seconds. It's not supposed to 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.520 be thirty one. Can't be thirty one, maybe twenty nine. 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.520 But people pay for thirty seconds. They want thirty seconds 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.880 of content, right and um. And we don't write the copy. 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.160 The copies written. We occasionally we were able to add live, 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.600 but the copies written by somebody else, and then it's 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.120 sent to us and then we have to read the copies. 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.680 So that's how this stuff was. And so I could 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:46.960 not get this commercial in thirty seconds. And there was 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.839 a moment I did this. Time after time after time. 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:52.920 I kept trying to read as fast as I could, 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.280 and I was convinced that I was like on an 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:01.079 episode of Punked or TV's Blue was some practical jokes 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.000 that somebody was messing around with me, Like it was 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.679 a mind trick. Now, how many seconds over were you? Oh? 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.880 Six or seven? I mean it was unbelievable. So they 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:14.359 were trying to jam forty seconds worth of copy and yeah, yeah, exactly. 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.920 So it was a way. It was ten pounds of 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.720 ship for a three pound back, is what it was. 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.719 And so I'm like, I'm looking around, like maybe there's 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.000 a hidden camera. They're gonna record this for a blooper 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.480 show at the end of the year or something like that. 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.400 And it was a total travesty. I'm using remember that 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.280 you remember the infomercial for the speed reading hand, remember 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:38.800 that you can speed read for th infomercial they had. 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.880 I was a kid. I used to love infomercials and 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.120 for thirty teach you all the tricks on how to 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.680 speed read, you know, you'd use your hand and go 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.839 through the words and how you can memorize speeches. And 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.480 I never bought it, but I remember the infomercial. I 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.199 think it's on YouTube, so I think you can watch 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.120 it on on YouTube anyway, So I did this thing 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.720 like six or seven times, and I'm just losing my mind. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.080 I'm pulling out the little hair I have left on 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:03.480 top of my head. I'm like, what the hell is 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:07.280 going on? Have I lost my way? Am I finally senile? Uh? 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:08.840 Is this? It? Is? This? The end of me? I 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.080 can't do the damn thirty second commercial? How can I 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.160 work in radio if I can't do a thirty second commercial? 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.920 So anyway, I keep doing this thing over and over 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.400 and over and uh and then a voice in my head. 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.600 I will not say who the guilty party is, uh, 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.680 Danny G. But let's just say the initials are J, C, 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.880 J C. Are the initials? Uh? And I hear this 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.640 whisper in my head. Hey, I misread the top of 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.640 the copy. Uh that's actually for the podcast. You can 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:52.480 go as long as you want. Wops. Uh. So, yeah, 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.520 the the guilty party had told me to read the 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.720 podcast commercial as a terrestrial radio commercial and not just 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:06.000 or said podcast. And needless to say, it was a 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.920 very frustrating experience. I was so upset that I Roberto 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.040 does this cooking with Roberto thing, and I I ended 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.000 up pushing that back because I had to complain. I 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.760 had to rant and rave, I had to get I 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:18.680 had to blow some steam. Off because I got very 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:22.080 upset and it was very I was very emotional. And 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:23.960 then when I finally found out that I was not me, 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.960 it was it was it was human error, I was like, yes, 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:33.760 thank goodness, very excited about that. So these are first 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.000 world problems. I didn't say it was cool, but it 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.480 was j C. It might be there's many people with 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.120 the initials j C. There's only one that I know of, 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.280 but there's many people that I in the world that 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.800 have the initials j C. It was some revenge since 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.960 he has to work with you every night. Ye payback? Yeah, 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.320 pay back some mother a little payback. Yeah. Yeah. So 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.760 now every time I get copy now to read, I will. 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.360 I will go over it myself. I will read every 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:05.560 detail I can possibly read on the copy before I 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:10.680 start reading said copy. So I got mail, Yeah, I 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.440 got mail. Check my mail too, because they send these 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:18.120 emails datings with the yeah you don't like to read emails? No, No. 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.560 In fact, I used to check the company email. I've 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.800 told bosses that fox this. I used to check the 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:27.040 company email all the time, and then for some reason 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.160 I stopped checking it. In January January of oh nine, 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.880 January twenties I stopped checking it. Uh and I I 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.440 never looked back. And no, the bosses at Fox notice 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.040 send me anything really important. They have to send to 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.000 my personal email because I do not check the company email. 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.080 I have to go on there like twice a year 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.920 because I have to do some training for I heart. 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:51.560 You know, you have to do that FCC training stuff that. Yeah, 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:55.120 that way you don't sexually harass the staff. Yes, yes, 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:59.560 don't don't sexually ask. And also no payola. We're not allowed, unfortunately, 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.880 to get so those I'll get those emails. They'll be like, 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.560 hey you got I'll click on that and um, yeah, 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.400 so that's the Nike Nike Nike. By the way, I'm 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.720 wearing some brand new Nikes that I really like Raid. 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.240 Yeah is that? Is that right? Is that? I'm just kidding? 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.040 Are you gonna go full Rob Parker? You know Rob 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:27.719 loves loves Nikes. I slapped the Fox logo on some Nike. Uh. 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.280 Well yeah, but Rob, I love him. I don't you 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.520 think he's paying full price for the Nikes. I'm I'm 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.560 thinking he's got a deal. He knows somebody, right. My 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:39.840 favorite part with Rob when we walked into our green room, 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:41.639 or is it a greener. I guess it's a blue 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.400 room at Fox Sports Radio. The kitchen, the Smurf kitchen, Yeah, 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:49.200 the Smurf kitchen. And he had the actual racks of clothing. Yes, 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:56.400 he had a full wardrobe of Fox Sports Radio merchandise 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:02.600 ready to go. The blue kitchen. Remember somebody put a 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.320 sign on top of it kind of google around. It 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:09.600 was fun. Um, Yeah, that was That was pretty good. 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.679 Rob's hustling. Man. I love. We've got Rob on the 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.600 podcast several times. I was always hosted. I last time 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.119 he was on the podcast was during the the World 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.720 Series and he told the story about he flew to 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:24.399 Atlanta and he flew Spirit Airlines. It's a great story. 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.320 And he Spirit Airlines charges for everything. I think they 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.600 charge if you breathe when you fly on the Spirit 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.760 per breath you take and per heartbeat and all that. 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.119 And so Rob found a work around. He got the 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.800 cheapest flight he could to Atlanta, and he spent like 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:42.320 a hundred bucks around trip or some ridiculous amount of money. 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:46.640 And but he saved the money on the carry on. 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.879 He brought no clothes. He just brought like a bag. 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:51.560 I guess he was allowed to bring his computer, and 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.920 that was it. And then when he got to Atlanta, 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.960 he just went to like a Ross Dress for Less 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.960 type store and bought so a couple of shirts and 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.080 a couple of pairs of pants to wear for the weekend. 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.120 And then when he when he left, he couldn't bring 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.120 the clothes back, so he just left him in the hotel. 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:11.320 That's awesome. That's such a I'm a tight wad, but 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.040 that's like next level. That's like, yeah, yeah, no, wonder 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:16.400 the two of you get along so well, oh yeah 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:19.639 we do. In fact, I've never told this story. I 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:25.320 happened last weekend after the Rams got pole axed against 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:29.800 the Green Bay Packers and Matthew Stafford through another interception 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.639 that was returned for a touchdown, Rob text me and 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:34.400 he's like, what do you think of Staffy? And we're 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.320 going back and forth on Stafford. He's advising me that 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:41.920 I must I must jump ship on Matthew Stafford. He's 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.359 giving me the whole rap about that Bamford. Yeah, he 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.159 just going through the whole thing, and uh, you know, 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:52.240 I'm coming back. I'm like, no, I'm okay, you know, yeah, 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.359 I'm just gonna gonna ride this thing out. It's just 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:57.560 a slump. We all go through slumps, right, Danny, you know, 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.399 looking to see here? Nothing to see here? Yeah, I 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.879 mean it's like the first eight games. Matthew Stafford was 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.359 fine and he beat Tom Brady and Russell Wilson in 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.080 the first eight games, and then now he's gone through 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:11.600 a tough patch. But the good news is that they 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:16.000 play Jacksonville tomorrow and so that now, if if they 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:20.360 lose to Jacksonville at that point eighty, then uh, then 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:25.119 I'm gone. I'm out, and uh I will not I 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.840 will not look back. Okay, I will say bye bye. 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:33.160 I will pack it in for the year and put 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:37.359 Mallard Raiders hat back on the greatness of the Raiders. 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:43.160 But for the Rams, it'll be yeah, not not good, 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:48.399 not good, uh for sure. But what's going on with you, Danny? 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:50.479 What have you been up to? We have not caught up. 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:52.800 And we did text a few times to work out 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:56.800 some logistical things for the podcast, and you were very 0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:59.960 good at that, hard working lining up people for the podcast, 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:04.119 which I appreciate. Yeah. I love chasing guests down, you know, 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:07.000 with Clay Travis, that was one of the main things 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:11.080 that I did. Whether it was a guy who was 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:15.040 national on all the news programs because he saved his 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.800 little dog from the grip of an alligator's teeth while 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.800 he kept his cigar in his mouth. There would be 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.800 stories like that where Clay would be like, I want 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:26.800 that guy on the show, get him on the show. 0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:30.720 And I would track the guy down and get him 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:33.560 on the show. And I really love to hunt though, 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:37.199 because it would be fun actually calling the TV and 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:40.960 newspapers you know that put out the stories on whoever 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:43.680 was in the news, and then you have to schmooze 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:48.000 these people to get the information on said party. And 0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:50.879 then once you finally have that, then you have to 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.400 schmooze the person that's in the news to get them 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.679 on your program. Yeah. No, it's it's the chase, right, 0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.960 It's just like dating Chase. Yes, that's a lot of 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.640 guy loved the chase. And then when you actually find someone, 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:04.160 you're like get old board. You're like, wait a minute, 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:06.080 I found somebody, and I want to I want to 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:07.439 go back and Chase. I want to be out in 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.679 the in the jungle out there. Yeah, the chase was 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:13.439 really cool, though it would take days. Some guests it 0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:18.320 would take weeks, like he wanted Carol Baskin on, and 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:20.479 you know, because she was on Dancing with the Stars 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:22.720 and he got a kick out of that. And I said, 0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:25.040 I'm gonna get in touch with her. So I did. 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:28.920 I found an email for her, and as you can imagine, 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:32.639 she was really um. She doesn't trust many people, and 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:37.280 yeah she was gun shy. Gun shines the white right 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:40.400 way to put it. Uh. So I had to ben, 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:43.520 I had to become a friend. I emailed back and 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.440
