Oh and I'm seeing 28 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: some of these these baseball writers writing these these think 29 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: pieces about what a great commissioner Rob Manford is and 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: how baseball is going to be, you know, be in 31 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 1: a tough spot to replace him. I'm like, really, how 32 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: hard is to replace the guy? I mean, the guy's 33 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: a snake. The guy is a snake. What are you doing? 34 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to. We don't do sporty here, but 35 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: on this the Saturday Pod, we have chicken Palm with 36 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: Big Red. Chicken Palm with Big Red, kick him out. 37 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: We've got the idiom of the week, and who knows 38 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: what else we will have time for, but we begin 39 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: with this. So back to lost wages Nevada last week. 40 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: A couple of things about the trip. Now, I did 41 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: not get the first class VIP Tree, but I went 42 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: on my own. The company did not pay for a 43 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: single cent of my trip to Las Vegas. I wanted 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: to go, I had access to it. I didn't get 45 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: a hotel room, I didn't get to airfare, I didn't 46 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: get any meals paid for. I paid out of pocket. 47 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: So I drove. We drove from La to Vegas. I 48 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: did the overnight show. I took a bath for about 49 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: thirty minutes to try to calm my mind down, and 50 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: then got in the car and drove to Vegas. And 51 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: I like driving. I don't really like flying to Vegas. 52 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: I like having my car with me, even though they 53 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: charged thirty bucks to park everywhere in Vegas and that's embarrassing. 54 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: And Vegas was better when the mob ran it. But 55 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: I drove through the night to get to Vegas. We 56 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: got there, had to get there early because we had 57 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: an early win though, to record some of the podcasts 58 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 1: and whatnot. And you have to go through NFL security 59 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: and there's a whole bunch of hoops you have to 60 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: jump through to get into where you need to go 61 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But on the way to Vegas, 62 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: we stopped in your Mo beautiful your Mo, not my Mo, 63 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: your moo. Now we did not where. 64 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: You're hoping to build a vacation home someday. 65 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: You can get land very cheap there, very cheap. So 66 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: in Beautiful Eumo, which is one of the many stops 67 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: along the highway from La into Vegas Highway fifteen. If 68 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: you've made that drive from La to Vegas, and so 69 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: there stops in Victorville, Barstow, your mo and then you've 70 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: got Baker and then you go to right through the 71 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: state line, Nevada state line. You've got right there across 72 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: the border, prim where you have on one side Buffalo bills. 73 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: On the other side, you've got a different hotel there 74 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: and so side by side. But we stopped in yourmo 75 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: at Peggy Sue's Diner. 76 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 3: Driven past that. 77 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, they have a lot of billboards out in the desert. 78 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: And my wife was kind enough. I drove to Barstow 79 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: and then she took over. So I drove halfway and 80 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: then I started to get a little tired. I got 81 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: a little tired, so she took over, and then she 82 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: wanted to get somebody to eat. So I was fasting, 83 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: so I was like, go wherever you want. And she's like, hey, 84 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: is Peggy Sue's diner. So we went to Peggy Sue's Diner. 85 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: It's a cool little roadside diner in the middle of nowhere. 86 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: They've got different themes, old Hollywood memorabilia sitting in the 87 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: middle of the desert. It's very odd because you go 88 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: there and you've got all these like whole Hollywood mementos 89 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere, and then down the road 90 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: is this place called Eddie World. Not Eddie's World. Should 91 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: be Eddie's World. It's called Eddie World and it's just 92 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: a gas station and then a candy store. And for 93 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: some reason, in that place in Eddie World, they have 94 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: a piece of the floor from the original forum, the 95 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: court that and Kareem and the Lakers played on winning 96 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: all those championships back in the day. They actually have 97 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: the Laker logo from that court sitting in a truck stop. 98 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: It's pretty funny. You should go there sometime, Danny when 99 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: you drive to Vegas, because it's it's it's hilarious, Like 100 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: of all the places for this to end up. 101 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like that famous Big Santa Claus that used 102 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 3: to sit on the roof of that candy store in 103 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 3: Santa Barbara. As kids on the one on one freeway 104 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: on that drive, we'd always see the Big Santa Claus 105 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 3: on top of the building. Well, it started to uh 106 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 3: break that roof down on that property, so they had 107 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 3: to get the Big Santa Claus with a crane off 108 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 3: of there and it wound up. Of all places in Oxnard, California, 109 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 3: across from the Strawberry Fields where a Gentleman's club is. 110 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: Oh is that right? Yeah, so same sort of thing. 111 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 3: It's like, how did that get there? 112 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like when I went to the Neon Museum 113 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: and they had all like these giant I guess that 114 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: makes more sense the Neon Museum. Although we didn't get 115 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: to the one in Vegas. I heard the one in 116 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: Vegas is insane. So we stopped at Peggy Sues, through Euromo, 117 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: went to Vegas and all that. But that get to 118 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: the point, please, So I thought this was kind of amusing, 119 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: so we do the whole thing. It was a fun day, Danny. 120 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: You were great. I appreciate your hard work. There was fun. 121 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: You were bouncing around because you had Covino and Rich 122 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: and you were doing stuff with me, and we had 123 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: to put it all together, and you had to do 124 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: a lot of the editing. So I thank you for that. 125 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: And so, but I was there a lot longer than 126 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: I anticipated because we had some interviews lined up, and 127 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: as we talked about some things went sideways and people 128 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: did not show up that were supposed to show up, 129 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: and so I was wandering around and I was I 130 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: just was killing time. I did a segment with Tony Bruno. 131 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: That's where the Kevin Harlan came up. And then some 132 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: of our old producers people that worked at Fox Sports Radio. 133 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: I was talking to them. They were working different radio 134 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: stations and stuff, and just had it have fine time 135 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: at fine time. But I was there a lot longer 136 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: than I wanted to be, and so we went out 137 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: to get a bite to eat after we were done 138 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: with the radio row stuff, and we go to our 139 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: favorite Italian restaurant in Las Vegas. I've been there in 140 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: a couple of years. It's called Capos Have you ever 141 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: been to Capos No, I've heard of it. Though the 142 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: place is insane. It's like a speakeasy type place, a 143 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: real dark restaurant. 144 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: You know, it's good. 145 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: I've never been to a bad restaurant that's got hardly 146 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: any lighting. 147 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 3: Sounded scary. 148 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: Coppos restaurant and speak easy. Just amazing Italian food, just 149 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: just absolutely great. So we're in there and there's there's 150 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: a couple of things that stand out about this. 151 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: Danny. 152 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: Number One, I got I got shaken down. I got 153 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: shaken so we did not have reservations. It was super 154 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: Bowl weekend, and so they were pretty busy in there 155 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: and you needed reservation and we didn't have any reservations. 156 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: So my wife calls up because we were originally going 157 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: to go to this barbecue place that I had found, 158 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: this like local barbecue place which is way off the strip, 159 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: passed downtown, just like a locals barbecue place. But we 160 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: went to the barbecue place and I was like, this 161 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: is this place? Look amazing? Right, they had outdoor tables 162 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: and it looked just looked like your trashy Texas barbecue, 163 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: which you knew the food was going to be amazing, 164 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: and there were people lined up around the building. But 165 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: they closed in like forty minutes, and we looked at 166 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: the line and we did the math in our head. 167 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: We're like, there's no way we could stay online. We 168 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: could wait online, but we're not going to get it. 169 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: And so I don't even know why were we.

Actually, he's 242 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: a listener in Kansas City, and he's an Andy Reid impersonator. 243 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,479 Speaker 1: It's almost Andy Reid. So this guy goes to Capos. 244 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: I had talked to him earlier. I saw him last 245 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: year at the Super Bowl in Phoenix, and so he 246 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: walks in there and the people seemed to think that 247 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: that was actually Andy Reid. I don't think they realized 248 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't Andy Reid. 249 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 3: Ben, they're not alone because my wife he saw your 250 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 3: Instagram page and she told me, that's so cool that 251 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 3: Ben is friends with Andy Reid.

Usually she's 261 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 3: usually just a foot away from him. Post game, she 262 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: was standing hovering over him. 263 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: Remember, yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw Andy do some interviews 264 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: and his wife was right next to him.

Yeah, because your common 274 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 3: NFL fan would have paid twenty dollars to pose and 275 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 3: take a picture, and they could have lied or at 276 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 3: least tricked people the way you tricked my Wifey. You 277 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 3: weren't trying to she was.

Okay, I can get 398 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 3: out of that campus at about eight thirty am. But 399 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 3: then I'm doing the math and I'm doing the ways app. 400 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 3: So a couple days ago on Thursday morning, right when 401 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 3: it hit eight am. At the stroke of eight am, 402 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 3: like Cinderella, I go to the ways app and I 403 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 3: punch in our work address and it says fifty five 404 00:19:54,440 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 3: minutes yeah to go eighteen miles cool, and I'm thinking, shit, 405 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 3: I forgot about that the last time seeing our filled 406 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 3: in for Cowherd, it took like an hour and twenty 407 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 3: minute sitting in the morning crap. I mean, it was 408 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 3: like somebody vomited all over the freeways. It was so bad. 409 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 3: I had to get onto Venturl Boulevard and that didn't 410 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 3: move either. So you just feel trapped, like claustrophobic in 411 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 3: those situations. And I thought about it. I'm like, what 412 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 3: am I gonna do? Can I maybe kick the kids 413 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 3: out of my classroom at eight am when it's okay 414 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 3: for them to be wandering around the campus. Now, normally 415 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,959 Speaker 3: what I do in my early morning classroom, Ben is 416 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 3: I entertain these kids till about eight twenty all right 417 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 3: when the bell rings and that bell is like, oh shit, 418 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 3: you got to get your books and run to your 419 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 3: first class.

Hey, guys, I'm so sorry, but 422 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 3: I got to kick your asses out of this warm 423 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 3: room and you have to wander the campus for twenty 424 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 3: minutes because I need to go to Sherman Oaks, California. 425 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: Will you see, as long as it's not raining, that's 426 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: a good point. If there's an atmospheric river, you're screwed. 427 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 3: You'll know this. How do you wind up getting in 428 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 3: trouble at a school? Well, somebody rats you out, yes, 429 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 3: and who would rat you out? There's always that one kid. Yes, 430 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 3: there you go, the one kid who wanted to stay 431 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 3: and play on his phone and charge his laptop. I'm 432 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 3: mister G. You love, mister G. I was cold for 433 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 3: ten minutes. And then that mom's gonna call the principal, 434 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 3: and then the principal is gonna text me that she 435 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 3: needs to have a sit down with me, and then 436 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 3: you know, the shit will hit the fan. I have 437 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 3: to be very strategic in this. Now, Do I maybe 438 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 3: do the rundown for that next Thursday morning show the 439 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 3: day before, give it to Covino and Rich a day 440 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 3: early and tell them, hey, I'm going to be running 441 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 3: just on time, you know, And do I push it 442 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 3: to like eight p fifteen and then watch the show 443 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 3: is starting. I don't know how to do this, Yeah, 444 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 3: so I would. 445 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: The way I would play it is you tell the 446 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: kids on Wednesday tomorrow, you know I'm gonna have to 447 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,239 Speaker 1: s them a whole day to rat No, but if 448 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: you let them know, maybe they'll be prepared for rather 449 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: than springing on them, then I would definitely do there. 450 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 3: I'll definitely do the rundown like on the Yeah, the 451 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 3: night before. But here's one little problem with saying something 452 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 3: the day before. There's different kids each day. There's some regulars, 453 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 3: but there's also different kids who come on different mornings. Gotcha. 454 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, So technically, by the letter of the law, if 455 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: you're only supposed to be there till. 456 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,959 Speaker 3: Eight, they allow me to clock out at eight thirty 457 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,719 Speaker 3: five am. Anything after that, I'm not supposed to put 458 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 3: on a time card. So in their minds, I think 459 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 3: I'm supposed to be cleaning that room up around eight thirty. Okay, 460 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 3: so about half an hour. 461 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: Is there anyone else there that you trust that works there? 462 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 3: They could No, No, no, there's no there's no one 463 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 3: to conspire with. Unfortunately, you're so it's a thirty minute 464 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 3: block of time that I have to be real gangster about. 465 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: That's a tough one. It's only it's only thirty minutes though, 466 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: But in kid time last like four hours. 467 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 3: True, that's the problem for us. 468 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: Thirty minutes flies by, no problem. 469 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 3: You know, it's been California cold in the morning. The 470 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 3: chances of a kid complaining and crying about it, those 471 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 3: chances are high right now. 472 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always that one kid. 473 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 3: I'll update you next week on whether or not I 474 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 3: have a second job. 475 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: All right, let us let us know you're fired. The 476 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: uh A couple of things to the idiom of the week. 477 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: Are you ready for the idiom of the week? 478 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 3: Idiot of the way? 479 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: It's idiom, it's an idiom of the week. Well, this 480 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: is something that you'll actually have to deal with probably 481 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: next week. Well, Danny, it's called face the music, right, 482 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: you have to face the music? And oh dare you 483 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 1: and all that? That happens to be the idiom of 484 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: the week. And most of us know what that means. 485 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: It means to accept the truth and whatnot. So time 486 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: to face the music that you have a problem. You 487 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: have a problem. Well, that term face the music. There's 488 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: a couple of theories on where it originated from. The 489 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: idiom face the Music the most popular and what is 490 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: believed to be true is it comes courtesy of the 491 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: British military. And the legend goes back in the day, 492 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 1: when someone was getting court martialed, they were getting in trouble, 493 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: there would be a military drum squad playing, and that's 494 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: where the term faced the music came from. When you 495 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: were being court martialed, you would be greeted by the 496 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: military drum squad and the term drummed out of the 497 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: military also came from that particular practice. Now I haven't 498 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: really heard that much drummed out of the military.
