But Danny's away, He'll be with 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: us on the Sunday Mailbag podcast. It's a fluid situation 19 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: with the way things have gone this week. In fact, 20 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: last night on Friday night, the Palisades fire, which is 21 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: the biggest of the fires. There's like a fire circles 22 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: Dante's inferno here in Los Angeles and the Palisades fire 23 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: made its way over the hill, heading towards the San 24 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: Fernando Valley. Now we broadcast from the San Fernando Valley 25 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: our studios in Sherman Oaks. If you're familiar with the 26 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: geography of southern California. The fire was headed towards Encino, 27 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: which is the next the next city over from Sherman Oaks. 28 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: But last I saw its early here on Saturday. But 29 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: last I saw they had a pretty good handle on 30 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: keeping it out of that part of the valley, which 31 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: is a tremendously well populated part of Los Angeles. We 32 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: emanate from Ventura and some Pulvida, the corner of Venturnasalvida, 33 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: and it is insane, insane how many people are in 34 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: that area. There are a lot, a lot, a lot, 35 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: a lot, a lot. As far as the whole sporty thing, 36 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: it's concerned because I don't even know if this is 37 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: a sports podcast at this point, I'm not sure exactly 38 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: what it is. It's just about it's the podcast about nothing. 39 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: It's the podcast about nothing. I was watching last night 40 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: as the Ohio State University. You look for that dramatic 41 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: plot twist and there it was Quin Ears, the quarterback 42 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: for Texas, set up the Longhorns about to tie the 43 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: game at Tory, and then all hell broke loose as 44 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: Jack Sawyer with the play of the decade and many 45 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: decades for Ohio State stripping the Texas quarterback is former 46 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: roommate back in the day and returned that fumble eighty 47 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: three yards touchdown. Buck Eys in Ohio State gets a 48 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: twenty eight to fourteen win last night in Arlington over 49 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: the Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl, and that sets up 50 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: a made for TV extravaganza. Ohio State. The Buck guys 51 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: who looked we had all fired their head coach Ryan 52 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: Day after they lost to Michigan, and now they have 53 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: a chance at their sixth national championship. The Buck guys 54 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: and a kid from Ohio making the play there Ohio 55 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: State thirteen to two. They have been the most dominant 56 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: team in the college football Playoff and now they'll take 57 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: on the fighting Irish in all Upper Midwest battle Royal 58 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: Ohio State versus the pride of the State of Indiana 59 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: South Bend, Indiana.

Very proud of the show. 70 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: Otherwise I wouldn't do it, but it was crazy week. 71 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: We talked about that a lot on the Friday podcast 72 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: about having to work out the logistics our studios at 73 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: Universal Studios. We have a little studio there that we 74 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: use to do Benny Versus the Penny. We were unable 75 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: to get in there because of the fires. The studios 76 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: were closed. Hard to believe that doing a television show 77 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: picking NFL games against the spread is not essential, but 78 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: apparently it was deemed non essential. The games today, I 79 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: assume you know the games today, they'll kick off the 80 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:47,119 Speaker 1: NFL playoffs Wild card Saturday, the Los Angeles Chargers. We'll 81 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: take on the Texans in Houston, and the Chargers a 82 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: three point favorite in that game on the road over CJ. 83 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: Stroud and the Texans. It is interesting to know, then, 84 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: in the eyes of television, that is the least attractive matchup, 85 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: that is the matchup that has no juice, according to 86 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: TV How do we know that it's the first matchup. 87 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: It's kind of like in the baseball playoffs they often 88 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: put if the Blue Jays make the playoffs, or the Royals, 89 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: or that the first game that's played during the day 90 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: is the team least attractive in the eyes of television. Now, 91 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: I do work in television, but barely work in television, 92 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: So I just want to point out that that's just 93 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: what TV pop will say. They they judge us on 94 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 1: who's got the most juice, who's got that Gennis Aquah, 95 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: who can bring eyeballs to the schoolyard, who can bring 96 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: all the eyeballs to the schoolyard. So the Texans are 97 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: deemed the Chargers also, so that's the first game. Kind 98 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: of like in basketball, they would they would put trying 99 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: to think like the Memphis Grizzlies would play that first 100 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: playoff game, Chargers and Texans again. First game Chargers favorite 101 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: on the road, the Lake game, which I think is 102 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: on Amazon on the Amazon the Pets, Bag Stealers, the 103 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: Insers taking on the Ravens in Baltimore, third times the Charm. 104 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: The Steelers won the first game. The Ravens won the 105 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: second game thanks to some gifts by Russell Wilson. That 106 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: game will kick off later today at eight o'clock Eastern Time, 107 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: and the Ravens a nine and a half point favorite. 108 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: Holy Smokes Batman a nine and a half point favorite 109 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: for the Baltimore Ravens in that game. Are you kidding me? No? Now, 110 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: turning the page from the NFL. On this edition of 111 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour podcast, the Saturday Special, We've got the 112 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: cookie drop, the Oldie but a goodie, the code head, 113 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: and the phrase of the week. You phrase the week. 114 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: We'll start with this so we hear doing the show 115 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: from southern California been affected more so than most by 116 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: the by the wildfires. Now I'm fortunate where the Malor 117 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: Mansion is. I'm pretty far removed from the fire zone, 118 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: as I do not live in any place where the 119 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: fires are directly the smoke is is very real. Depends 120 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: if your down range from the from where the fires are. 121 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: The wind changing directions, so we've gotten a fair amount 122 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: of smoke. The wind has calmed down, and it was 123 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: like a haunted mansion. At the Malor Mansion the other night. 124 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: My dog, Moxie, the mox Alatto, freaked me out. Right, 125 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: Moxie freaked me out. Now, I didn't realize this was 126 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: the thing. I'm sitting there getting ready for the show, 127 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: and I'm preparing for the show. The wind is howling. 128 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: It is. I feel like we're in like some kind 129 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: of hurricane or somebody was. It was insane. There were 130 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: hurricane strength winds, whole level hurricane blowing around and everything's 131 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: flying all over the place. And I'm sitting there and 132 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm trying to get ready for the show, 133 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm distracted because I got the I got 134 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: the local news on. They're showing the fires and people 135 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: are panicked and they're leaving and things are burning and 136 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: it's a big to do. And Moxie starts shaking her head. 137 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: She's freaking out with all the wind. My dog mocks you. 138 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: The bulldog starts freaking out right, going crazy and all 139 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: this stuff, and I thought she was having a seizure. 140 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, oh, crap, I don't 141 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: know what to do. You know, what do you do? 142 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: You know? I had no idea, so I started googling, 143 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: and it turns out, and I didn't know this because 144 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: this is the first time I ever had a bulldog, 145 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 1: but the English bulldog they have bulldog head shaking SYNDROMEFFERF 146 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 1: say what yeah, also known as idiopathic head tremors ihcheese. 147 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: It just carriterized by a sudden episodic head bob, come on, Pippin', 148 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: get your tims up. Tremors or nodding of the head, 149 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: which is what my dog Moxie was doing. The nodding 150 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 1: of the head. The exact cause of the idiopathic head tremors, 151 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: according to the Internet, is unknown. However, they believe it's 152 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: because of great excitement or anxiety. In this case, it 153 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: appears it was anxiety. So Moxy was freaking out. This big, strong, 154 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: muscular bulldog absolutely freaked out by the wind. And so anyway, 155 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: I was like trying to hold Moxie. Anything be all right. 156 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: But eventually she chilled out and then she just slept 157 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: for like seven or eight hours. My dog, so dog 158 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: just sleeps nonstock just wonderful. If I could sleep as 159 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: much as Moxie man, would life be good. Last week 160 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: I bought a dog and I needed an emotion. Now, 161 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: as far as the cookie drop is concerned, my sister 162 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 1: in law was one of those that was affected by 163 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: the fire. She lives in the foothills. The Eaton Canyon fire, 164 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: which is not the Palisades fire with the Palisades fire 165 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: was the one that's making its way tried to make 166 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: its way over the hill last night into the San 167 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: Fernando Valley. But the Eaton Canyon fire, which I love 168 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: eating can you used to go hiking there quite a bit. 169 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: I've been there with my dad back in the name 170 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: my older brother. We all went up to the waterfall 171 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: at Eaton Canyon. But that area burned in the Altadena 172 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: area of Los Angeles, and my sister in law and 173 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: my niece and nephew, who I see quite a bit, 174 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: they all had to vacate, so they were at a 175 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: park with some other I don't know, fire refugees I 176 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: guess you'd call them, and a couple of my sister 177 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: in law's good friends lost their homes already, they burned 178 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: down from the fire. So they're trying to figure out 179 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: like what to do, and so they've been staying with 180 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: other relatives, the friends of my sister in law. So 181 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: they had a like a playdate thing at the park. 182 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: And so I as uncle Benny. When your uncle Benny, 183 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: you got to go help the kids. You know, this 184 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: goes to the grown ups can figure out how they're 185 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: going to rebuild their lives. And so Uncle Benny went 186 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: to the park and I was the monster that and 187 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: I make a great monster that was attacking the kids. 188 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: And there's nothing better in life. Because there were kids 189 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: of all age, all the way from one probably to 190 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: like nine or ten, you know, in that age range. 191 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 1: And there's nothing I love more than a There was 192 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: a one year old kid there, little red headed kid. 193 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: And if you ever ever you know, like an uncle 194 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: or a dad or whatever, if you're around kids, you 195 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: know whatever, and the kid, like, you know how they 196 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: like fake punch you. And then when you act like 197 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: you have been taken by this atomic fist and it's 198 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, just a total body blow body blow and 199 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: you fall back. And to see the pure joy. The 200 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: pure excitement on that kid's face is just outstanding. Right, 201 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: It's just the greatest thing in the world. And sure 202 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: enough I was able to provide that service. And I 203 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: feel like I'm one of the top fake punch guys. 204 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: I could have been a stunt man. I could have 205 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: been a Hollywood stunt man, you know, doing the thing. 206 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: And but it was a lot of fun. And I 207 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: actually I stopped by and made some cinnamon cinnamon raisin cookies, 208 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: cinnamon raising oatmeal cinnamon raisin cookies. Now I was going 209 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: to make chocolate chip. I text my sister in law. 210 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: I said, Hey, what what cookies do the kids want? 211 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: And she said, well, you know they're good with like 212 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: chocolate chip, but your sister in law would love oatmeal raisin. 213 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: So then I realized I had I had some cookies 214 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: I had made for last weekend, and so those were 215 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: kind of laying around. So I had the cookies for 216 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: last weekend, the chocolate chip. They had some walnuts in them, 217 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: and I I said, you know, the kids don't give 218 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: a they don't give a crap whether the cookies are 219 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: fresh or they are a few days old. But I said, 220 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: I make some oatmeal raisin. I'll drop these off, the 221 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: oatmeal raisin or these other cookies the kids will have. 222 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: So that's what I did. So we stopped by. There 223 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: was a like I said, they were a meeting at 224 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: a playground at a park so the kids could play 225 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: and the parents could figure out how they're going to 226 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: deal with the insurance and all the grown up crap, 227 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: and just just absolutely terrible as they got to get 228 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: everything right. All their clothes are gone. Just I mean, 229 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: if you've ever been through that, I know some of 230 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: you have. I've heard email, I've gotten emails from people, 231 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: have heard stories from people who have sent me emails 232 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: about what that's like. So, and the fire is still 233 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: going on from what i've from what I understand the forecast, 234 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: the winds are supposed to pick up here in La 235 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: again I think on Tuesdays. So they only have today 236 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: and Tomorrow and Monday to get this thing under wraps 237 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: before there's another round of fires. And I promise you 238 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: there will be, because it appears that several of these 239 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: fires have been started by arsonists, by people that should 240 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: be sent to be executed by a firing squad. In fact, 241 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: there's an apparently video of two people caught lighting a 242 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: fire with gasoline moments before the Palisades Fire, which is 243 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: the biggest fire in the history of I believe, United 244 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: States in many, many different categories. So there's video of that, 245 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: and there's multiple other fires that have been started by individuals. Now, 246 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: are these people all related? Are these just people who 247 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: are opportunistic who realize what was going on? I mean, 248 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: and it's one of these catch twenty two situations. I 249 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: was texting a friend of mine about this, not to 250 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: get political, however, Yeah, no, we were talking about the 251 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: local news. However you get is whether it's the Internet, 252 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: old school media, television, radio, whatever, they make such a 253 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: big point of emphasis and we're gonna have extreme wind conditions. 254 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: You know, it's being very dangerous, you know, high fire warning. 255 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: Isn't that like a dog whistle to people on the 256 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: spectrum who are up to no good? They're like, oh, look, 257 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be really bad if I were to start 258 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: a fire right about here, and boy, that would be 259 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: really bad, do it. You know, there's a whole bunch 260 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: of Internet conspiracies. Who knows what's true and who's not. 261 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: Who knows what's not. One thing I've learned though from 262 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: the whole COVID thing when they say, oh, it's one 263 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: hundred percent of conspiracy, there's no truth to it. Like 264 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff people they were saying about COVID 265 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: being conspiracy theories have been proven correct. So just because 266 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: somebody says something is a conspiracy theory does not mean 267 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: it's just a conspiracy theory. That is a way to 268 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: dismiss a claim. That is a way to belittle a claim. Right, 269 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: And so I you gotta you gotta judge things for yourself. 270 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta determine what's important, what you think 271 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: is real in your world in the multiverse. Right, So 272 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: that's that's the way that goes. That's the way that goes. 273 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. But apparently this video of 274 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: at least the Palisades fire, which is the biggest, and 275 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: a couple of the other fires, which makes sense, right. 276 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: I know, I know it's going to be devastating to 277 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: the climate change crowd. They're gonna be very upset by 278 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: this because they were really hoping this is just climate change, 279 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: but no, it's opportunistics people. It appears that you would 280 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: not have this number of fires strategically placed all around 281 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: Los Angeles unless some, if not all, of them were 282 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: being started by individuals. And so the pieces to the puzzle. 283 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: We don't have all the pieces, but the pieces we 284 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: have are leaning that direction. We will see. But anyway, 285 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: I brought some cookies over. That was the big cookie drop. 286 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: Now the oldie, but a goodie, the oldie but of goodie. 287 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: So this is in the next month. My wife has 288 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: decided that we ate out a lot in November and 289 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: December because of Thanksgiving and Christmas, and we had a 290 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: lot of events. And so for the next month from 291 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 1: this point in January until this point in February, right 292 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: around the Super Bowl, no eating out, no restaurants. Every 293 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: meal will be prepared and consumed inside the Mallard kitchen. 294 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: That's how this is gonna go. That's how this is 295 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: gonna go. And so we've been preparing. For example, this weekend, 296 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: we back on Friday, made corn dogs. And the reason 297 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: I made corn dogs because they came up on the 298 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: Overnight Show this week and I was like, I haven't 299 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: had corn dogs in a while. And then I was like, well, 300 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: I can't get one because we're not allowed to go 301 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: to restaurants and normally I get my corn dogs at 302 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: the restaurants. So I told my told the wife and 303 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: so home. So we got the corn meal, We got 304 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: everything we need, the eggs, all that stuff, milk, whatever, 305 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: put it all together, and obviously the hot dogs and 306 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: made some corn dogs. We made some corn and they 307 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: were very good. There were more like corn biscuits than 308 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: corn dogs. There was hot dog in there, but these 309 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: things had a lot of corn meal on them and 310 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: they were really delicious, delicious. And so we're trying different 311 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: recipes and whatnot. But the reason I bring up odie 312 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: but a goodie date line, date line, the hot tub 313 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: time machine. Is it true that a container in the 314 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: Mallard kitchen belongs to the archive of years gone by? 315 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: A container of Morton salt? Morton salt in the very 316 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: back of a cabinet, the Malar Kinchen Malar kitchen. I 317 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: would like you to take a guess. Guess the year? 318 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: Can you guess the year of the salt? All right? 319 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: Inquiring minds would like to know? All right? Reveal answers, 320 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: Reveal answers, pens down, no more guesses. Survey says, how 321 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: about twenty oh four? A container of Morton salt from 322 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: the year twenty oh four in the back of the 323 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: malar cabinet. Now, this was not mine originally, this was 324 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: my dad's. I inherited this when my pops passed away 325 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: a few years ago, and it survived a bunch of 326 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: moves and all kinds of stuff, and there was and 327 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: I was saying about it, like, salt doesn't really go bad, right, 328 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: Why would salt expire? It's salt. It's the salt of 329 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: the earth. So anyway, we were using it, we'd been 330 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: using it. We're not dead, so apparently everything's okay and 331 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: just wild. I was tving like where I was in 332 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: twenty oh four, it's twenty twenty five now, and then 333 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, a lot has changed around me. 334 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: I've lost a lot of my friends and my loved ones. 335 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: My parents are both gone. But I was still working 336 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio in twenty oh four. Like, professionally, 337 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: it's cool. I have a TV show now and that's 338 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: pretty neat and I'm very proud of that. But like 339 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: the radio stuff, I wasn't doing the overnight show. Well 340 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: I was. I was doing the weekend overnight show in 341 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: twenty oh four, and I was filling in. I was 342 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: doing shows with like Chris Myers and people like that 343 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: at Fox. And but that's a long well, I mean 344 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: twenty one years. That salt has been on the shelf 345 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 1: at a mallor home for twenty one bleeping years. That 346 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: is insane, absolutely insane. Now you know it's also insane. 347 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: Want to tell you a story. Story time on the 348 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: fifth hour. So the other day, a few days back 349 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: in a galaxy far far away, I pull up to 350 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: the iHeart Premiere Network building in the Oaks, Sriman, Oak. 351 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: So I make the long drive from the North Woods 352 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: on many highways and byways, and I'm pulling into the 353 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: parking lot place I've worked for many, many years. So 354 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: I get in there and the very front space, which 355 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: is where I usually park because at night there's not 356 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: many people there. It's a barebone staff. It's a barebone staff. 357 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: So at night I park in the front because I 358 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,959 Speaker 1: get there early, and this space is always open. So 359 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 1: this space, there were a couple of cones, those orange cones, 360 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, So there's two 361 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,479 Speaker 1: orange cones in the space. And I had seen this 362 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: last couple of days and I was like, well, somebody 363 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: must be fing around, you know, somebody must be moving 364 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: those cones out. So I said, you know, this is ridiculous. 365 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: There's no one here. It's late at night. So I 366 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: stopped my car, I got out, and I moved the 367 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: cones out of the space, and then I backed into 368 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: the space and I'm grabbing my possessions. I have a 369 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: couple of bags I take with me to work, and 370 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: I grab the bags and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna chop, chop. 371 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to work and you know, do my thing. 372 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: And all I turn out my peripheral vision to my left, 373 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: I see this, this guy sprinting out and it was 374 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: the security guard for the building, the Conehead security guard. 375 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: I've never seen the security do anything. There have been 376 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: people doing shooting drugs up in their veins in the 377 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: building when I've left, and they haven't stopped them. There 378 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: have been homeless people sleeping in the parking garage, haven't 379 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: stopped him. I saw a guy drive on his bicycle 380 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: in there to break into cars plot because he had 381 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: the tools to break in. They didn't do a damn thing. 382 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: This security guard sprinted out, said what are you doing? 383 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: What are you doing. And I looked at him. I said, well, 384 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm I'm parking my car. He said, you can't park 385 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: you are you allowed to park there? You can't park there? 386 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: What are you doing parking? You can't park there? And 387 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: guy was all flustered. I so, I've worked here for 388 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: twenty five years. I've always parked in this spot. I 389 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: don't know why the cones were there, so I just 390 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: moved the cones and I said, that's there. He says, 391 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: you can't. You're not allowed to park there. You cannot 392 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: part there. So then the guy tells me, and I 393 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: don't think he was supposed to tell me this. He 394 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: says that some some broad right, some woman who works 395 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 1: the building is paying an extra five hundred dollars a 396 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: month to have that parking space secured in the building. Now, 397 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: keep in mind, I cannot stress this enough. At the 398 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: time I come in, the entire parking garage is wide open. 399 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: Now I get saving a space during the day, the 400 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: building gets very busy. There's a lot of people that 401 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: worked there during the day. But to think somehow you 402 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: need that space reserved overnight is ridiculous to me. It's 403 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: like the dumbest thing I look at the guy. You 404 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. And another guy makes like no 405 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: money and probably you know, this is a guy I 406 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: don't know. Some of the security guards. I get along 407 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: with the one guy, James. He's been there a long time, 408 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: and I just love the guy, like he's great, dude. 409 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: I know his whole story, the whole thing, very positive guy. 410 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: This guy's kind of knew and just the way I 411 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: don't know, the whole the whole vibe thing was like, 412 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me. So it was the to me, 413 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: it was the funniest thing in the world. It was 414 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: just another example of like here we are twenty twenty 415 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: five in an empty parking lot. Literally there was two 416 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: other cars. There's hundreds of parking places in this parking 417 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: garage goes up like eight stories of parking. It's a 418 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: very large car. There's only a few cars in there, 419 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: and this space was reserved. This is so stupid to me, 420 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: but I moved my car. I moved my car, and 421 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: I snickered as I walked by, and I was telling you. 422 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: I was talking to a few people in the building 423 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: and we were like, this is this is crazy, this 424 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: is absolutely nuts. But that's that's what happened. Anyway, why 425 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: do we have the phrase? All we here we go 426 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: the phrase of the week and the phrase of the 427 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: week sent in by Steve O Steveo's New Jersey. He says, 428 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, I in the pod, I am not 429 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: that far away from the city that never sleeps. I 430 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: want to know where that phrase came from. Is it true? 431 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: It came from the Sinatra song. That's from Stevo. So yeah, 432 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: this will be the phrase of the week, the City 433 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: that Never sleeps. So I did a little bit of investigating, 434 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 1: and while it is true the iconic New York New 435 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: York song Frank Sinatra nineteen seventies, late nineteen seventies, he 436 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: said he wanted to wake up in a city that 437 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: doesn't sleep. The phrase is actually much much older than 438 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: the Frank Sinatra song. And you can actually thank the 439 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: United States Postal Service for the phrase the city that 440 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: never sleeps, not some slick marketing firm. No, no, no, 441 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: let's take you back in the DeLorean. We're gonna set 442 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: the year nineteen oh seven seven. It was August of 443 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: nineteen oh seven, big announcement that in Manhattan the mail 444 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: would be delivered at night. That's right, the mail was 445 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: going to be delivered at night. So the New York 446 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: Tribune in New York City, they had a headline that 447 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: read about the mail delivery and said New York City 448 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: a city that never sleeps. That was from the New 449 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: York Tribune around that time. And then later on in 450 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: the early nineteen seventies, the people at City Bank, their 451 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: slogan was the city never sleeps, as in Citi, and 452 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: that was in the nineteen seventies, and then the Sinatra 453 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: song in the late seventies, want to wake up in 454 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: a city that doesn't sleep And so oh, anyway, the 455 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: city for Stebo, the city that never sleeps. The slogan 456 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: of New York City actually from a newspaper headline. But 457 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: you can thank night mail delivery. They were delivering the 458 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: mail at eight o'clock. Big news, big news back in 459 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: the day in Manhattan. And that is that the phrase 460 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: of the week, the city that never sleeps. All right, 461 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: have a wonderful rest of your Saturday. Enjoy the football today. 462 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: We will have a mail bag.
