Speaker 1: Cutbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's the clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Mahler starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the a.
Speaker 3: Em Way.
Speaker 1: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g As
Speaker 1: we hang out and schmoos all week in long and
Speaker 1: a happy Saturday to you as we have reached the
Speaker 1: seventeenth day of the month of February. Spring training underway.
Speaker 1: We talked a little baseball this week on the Overnight Show.
Speaker 1: It's just a little bit. I'm happy that weasel Rob
Speaker 1: Manford's leaving. I wish he was leaving sooner.
Speaker 3: Yeah. When Monty did enough date and announced that in
Speaker 3: the background, I said.
Speaker 1: Bye bye, bye bye.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, just a piece of metal.
Speaker 1: They should give him a statue in Houston. Rob Manford
Speaker 1: got a statue in Houston, trash can. Yeah, they should
Speaker 1: retire his name in Houston.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: No, one in the history of sports has done more
Speaker 1: to support cheaters than Rob Manford. Oh and I'm seeing
Speaker 1: some of these these baseball writers writing these these think
Speaker 1: pieces about what a great commissioner Rob Manford is and
Speaker 1: how baseball is going to be, you know, be in
Speaker 1: a tough spot to replace him. I'm like, really, how
Speaker 1: hard is to replace the guy? I mean, the guy's
Speaker 1: a snake. The guy is a snake. What are you doing?
Speaker 1: I don't want to. We don't do sporty here, but
Speaker 1: on this the Saturday Pod, we have chicken Palm with
Speaker 1: Big Red. Chicken Palm with Big Red, kick him out.
Speaker 1: We've got the idiom of the week, and who knows
Speaker 1: what else we will have time for, but we begin
Speaker 1: with this. So back to lost wages Nevada last week.
Speaker 1: A couple of things about the trip. Now, I did
Speaker 1: not get the first class VIP Tree, but I went
Speaker 1: on my own. The company did not pay for a
Speaker 1: single cent of my trip to Las Vegas. I wanted
Speaker 1: to go, I had access to it. I didn't get
Speaker 1: a hotel room, I didn't get to airfare, I didn't
Speaker 1: get any meals paid for. I paid out of pocket.
Speaker 1: So I drove. We drove from La to Vegas. I
Speaker 1: did the overnight show. I took a bath for about
Speaker 1: thirty minutes to try to calm my mind down, and
Speaker 1: then got in the car and drove to Vegas. And
Speaker 1: I like driving. I don't really like flying to Vegas.
Speaker 1: I like having my car with me, even though they
Speaker 1: charged thirty bucks to park everywhere in Vegas and that's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: And Vegas was better when the mob ran it. But
Speaker 1: I drove through the night to get to Vegas. We
Speaker 1: got there, had to get there early because we had
Speaker 1: an early win though, to record some of the podcasts
Speaker 1: and whatnot. And you have to go through NFL security
Speaker 1: and there's a whole bunch of hoops you have to
Speaker 1: jump through to get into where you need to go
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But on the way to Vegas,
Speaker 1: we stopped in your Mo beautiful your Mo, not my Mo,
Speaker 1: your moo. Now we did not where.
Speaker 3: You're hoping to build a vacation home someday.
Speaker 1: You can get land very cheap there, very cheap. So
Speaker 1: in Beautiful Eumo, which is one of the many stops
Speaker 1: along the highway from La into Vegas Highway fifteen. If
Speaker 1: you've made that drive from La to Vegas, and so
Speaker 1: there stops in Victorville, Barstow, your mo and then you've
Speaker 1: got Baker and then you go to right through the
Speaker 1: state line, Nevada state line. You've got right there across
Speaker 1: the border, prim where you have on one side Buffalo bills.
Speaker 1: On the other side, you've got a different hotel there
Speaker 1: and so side by side. But we stopped in yourmo
Speaker 1: at Peggy Sue's Diner.
Speaker 3: Driven past that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have a lot of billboards out in the desert.
Speaker 1: And my wife was kind enough. I drove to Barstow
Speaker 1: and then she took over. So I drove halfway and
Speaker 1: then I started to get a little tired. I got
Speaker 1: a little tired, so she took over, and then she
Speaker 1: wanted to get somebody to eat. So I was fasting,
Speaker 1: so I was like, go wherever you want. And she's like, hey,
Speaker 1: is Peggy Sue's diner. So we went to Peggy Sue's Diner.
Speaker 1: It's a cool little roadside diner in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 1: They've got different themes, old Hollywood memorabilia sitting in the
Speaker 1: middle of the desert. It's very odd because you go
Speaker 1: there and you've got all these like whole Hollywood mementos
Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere, and then down the road
Speaker 1: is this place called Eddie World. Not Eddie's World. Should
Speaker 1: be Eddie's World. It's called Eddie World and it's just
Speaker 1: a gas station and then a candy store. And for
Speaker 1: some reason, in that place in Eddie World, they have
Speaker 1: a piece of the floor from the original forum, the
Speaker 1: court that and Kareem and the Lakers played on winning
Speaker 1: all those championships back in the day. They actually have
Speaker 1: the Laker logo from that court sitting in a truck stop.
Speaker 1: It's pretty funny. You should go there sometime, Danny when
Speaker 1: you drive to Vegas, because it's it's it's hilarious, Like
Speaker 1: of all the places for this to end up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like that famous Big Santa Claus that used
Speaker 3: to sit on the roof of that candy store in
Speaker 3: Santa Barbara. As kids on the one on one freeway
Speaker 3: on that drive, we'd always see the Big Santa Claus
Speaker 3: on top of the building. Well, it started to uh
Speaker 3: break that roof down on that property, so they had
Speaker 3: to get the Big Santa Claus with a crane off
Speaker 3: of there and it wound up. Of all places in Oxnard, California,
Speaker 3: across from the Strawberry Fields where a Gentleman's club is.
Speaker 3: Oh is that right? Yeah, so same sort of thing.
Speaker 3: It's like, how did that get there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like when I went to the Neon Museum
Speaker 1: and they had all like these giant I guess that
Speaker 1: makes more sense the Neon Museum. Although we didn't get
Speaker 1: to the one in Vegas. I heard the one in
Speaker 1: Vegas is insane. So we stopped at Peggy Sues, through Euromo,
Speaker 1: went to Vegas and all that. But that get to
Speaker 1: the point, please, So I thought this was kind of amusing,
Speaker 1: so we do the whole thing. It was a fun day, Danny.
Speaker 1: You were great. I appreciate your hard work. There was fun.
Speaker 1: You were bouncing around because you had Covino and Rich
Speaker 1: and you were doing stuff with me, and we had
Speaker 1: to put it all together, and you had to do
Speaker 1: a lot of the editing. So I thank you for that.
Speaker 1: And so, but I was there a lot longer than
Speaker 1: I anticipated because we had some interviews lined up, and
Speaker 1: as we talked about some things went sideways and people
Speaker 1: did not show up that were supposed to show up,
Speaker 1: and so I was wandering around and I was I
Speaker 1: just was killing time. I did a segment with Tony Bruno.
Speaker 1: That's where the Kevin Harlan came up. And then some
Speaker 1: of our old producers people that worked at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1: I was talking to them. They were working different radio
Speaker 1: stations and stuff, and just had it have fine time
Speaker 1: at fine time. But I was there a lot longer
Speaker 1: than I wanted to be, and so we went out
Speaker 1: to get a bite to eat after we were done
Speaker 1: with the radio row stuff, and we go to our
Speaker 1: favorite Italian restaurant in Las Vegas. I've been there in
Speaker 1: a couple of years. It's called Capos Have you ever
Speaker 1: been to Capos No, I've heard of it. Though the
Speaker 1: place is insane. It's like a speakeasy type place, a
Speaker 1: real dark restaurant.
Speaker 3: You know, it's good.
Speaker 1: I've never been to a bad restaurant that's got hardly
Speaker 1: any lighting.
Speaker 3: Sounded scary.
Speaker 1: Coppos restaurant and speak easy. Just amazing Italian food, just
Speaker 1: just absolutely great. So we're in there and there's there's
Speaker 1: a couple of things that stand out about this.
Speaker 3: Danny.
Speaker 1: Number One, I got I got shaken down. I got
Speaker 1: shaken so we did not have reservations. It was super
Speaker 1: Bowl weekend, and so they were pretty busy in there
Speaker 1: and you needed reservation and we didn't have any reservations.
Speaker 1: So my wife calls up because we were originally going
Speaker 1: to go to this barbecue place that I had found,
Speaker 1: this like local barbecue place which is way off the strip,
Speaker 1: passed downtown, just like a locals barbecue place. But we
Speaker 1: went to the barbecue place and I was like, this
Speaker 1: is this place? Look amazing? Right, they had outdoor tables
Speaker 1: and it looked just looked like your trashy Texas barbecue,
Speaker 1: which you knew the food was going to be amazing,
Speaker 1: and there were people lined up around the building. But
Speaker 1: they closed in like forty minutes, and we looked at
Speaker 1: the line and we did the math in our head.
Speaker 1: We're like, there's no way we could stay online. We
Speaker 1: could wait online, but we're not going to get it.
Speaker 1: And so I don't even know why were we. It's
Speaker 1: kind of was kind of cold in Vegas, and I
Speaker 1: was like, what are we going to do? You know,
Speaker 1: as much as I want that barbecue, Vegas is like
Speaker 1: a suburb of LA We'll be back again, no problem.
Speaker 1: So then we were trying to find a restaurant. My
Speaker 1: wife's like that, what about that Capos place? Said that
Speaker 1: place is good, and said I told her call her
Speaker 1: call him up. So she calls him up and they're like, ah,
Speaker 1: we don't have any reservations. You can't you know, you
Speaker 1: can't here. So my wife's like, well, we're in town,
Speaker 1: but we're only in for a couple of nights and
Speaker 1: we got to get back to La. We love your restaurant.
Speaker 1: So the person on the phone is like, all right,
Speaker 1: well come on down and I can't guarantee anything, but
Speaker 1: you know, tell him so and so Sancho, we'll see
Speaker 1: what we can do. So we go down to Capos
Speaker 1: and they they have the speakeasy, so they let us.
Speaker 3: They let us in.
Speaker 1: This paisan racist he comes up to me, right, this
Speaker 1: guy works at the restaurant. He comes up to me
Speaker 1: to say, I need to talk to you and uh,
Speaker 1: and my wife's like following and following with me, and
Speaker 1: the guy's like, no, no, you stay here, I need
Speaker 1: your husband. So he then takes me to the side
Speaker 1: and he shakes me down. He said, listen you, yeah,
Speaker 1: you take care of me. I can get your table
Speaker 1: right over here, right in the front.
Speaker 3: I'm like I told you Bobster started these restaurants.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, God, I'm like in my head, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, like I don't I mean,
Speaker 1: I like this place, but this is kind of shady.
Speaker 3: But I was like, did he give you an amount?
Speaker 1: No, he didn't give me an amount, but I I
Speaker 1: slipped him. I slipped him a few bucks and uh,
Speaker 1: and he he took me right to the table.
Speaker 3: Is it then? Is it like that time with Rod
Speaker 3: in Bakersfield where you tipped the waiter a five dollars?
Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't exactly fun. I was, yeah, well
Speaker 1: I didn't look.
Speaker 3: See that was the way I thought it was one
Speaker 3: hundred and it was a ten. Remember, Yeah, well it was.
Speaker 1: It was a bit of a mistake, but I tried
Speaker 1: to be smooth about it. I didn't want to look,
Speaker 1: and I just kind of reached my hand in there.
Speaker 3: I saw one in a zero and you're like, that
Speaker 3: must be one hundred.
Speaker 1: Back to the to the So I got shaken down.
Speaker 1: I gave the guy, you know, some money, and then
Speaker 1: he he took me to the table.
Speaker 3: He didn't accidentally take a ten. I know that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was it was a good table. My wife
Speaker 1: was very happy, so, you know, it was before Valentine's
Speaker 1: so whatever. It was fine. But the funniest part of
Speaker 1: the night. And the food was fricking amazing, right was I. Normally,
Speaker 1: if I got shaken down, I'd be like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is terrible. The food was so good I didn't even
Speaker 1: really care, you know. It was like just amazing that
Speaker 1: everything was fresh and wonderful and one of the great
Speaker 1: meals I've had. Maybe because I was hungry, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but it was really good Italian food. I loved it.
Speaker 1: And so we're in there. The place is packed, people
Speaker 1: are all dauled up, they're all dressed up, they got
Speaker 1: their church clothes on, right, they're all looking good. There's
Speaker 1: live music, there's great Italian food, and here comes out
Speaker 1: of nowhere, big brand, right, and at a corner of
Speaker 1: my eye, I see this mob of young women and
Speaker 1: middle aged men and they're all trying to get close
Speaker 1: to Big Red, trying to get photos and it was
Speaker 1: wowd So remember the guy that was walking around Radio row,
Speaker 1: Danny the It looked like Andy Reid. You remember that guy,
Speaker 1: Oh of course, yeah, yeah, yeah. He took a photo
Speaker 1: with him. I did I know the guy. Actually, he's
Speaker 1: a listener in Kansas City, and he's an Andy Reid impersonator.
Speaker 1: It's almost Andy Reid. So this guy goes to Capos.
Speaker 1: I had talked to him earlier. I saw him last
Speaker 1: year at the Super Bowl in Phoenix, and so he
Speaker 1: walks in there and the people seemed to think that
Speaker 1: that was actually Andy Reid. I don't think they realized
Speaker 1: it wasn't Andy Reid.
Speaker 3: Ben, they're not alone because my wife he saw your
Speaker 3: Instagram page and she told me, that's so cool that
Speaker 3: Ben is friends with Andy Reid. Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, So there were like beautiful young women that were
Speaker 1: taking photos for their Instagram page with this guy, and
Speaker 1: guys were like, dudes were like, oh Andy, you know,
Speaker 1: good luck against the forty nine ers. Well, do these
Speaker 1: people think that Andy Reid goes around to random restaurants
Speaker 1: wearing his game day attire? That yeah, it's chicken palm
Speaker 1: with big red out there. You know, it's like what hilarious?
Speaker 3: Also, where was his wife? Because every time we see
Speaker 3: this guy, his wife is somewhere near him. Usually she's
Speaker 3: usually just a foot away from him. Post game, she
Speaker 3: was standing hovering over him.
Speaker 1: Remember, yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw Andy do some interviews
Speaker 1: and his wife was right next to him. But the
Speaker 1: Andy Reid impersonator. This is great. So I actually talk
Speaker 1: to the guy at the at the capitols, I saw him.
Speaker 1: I said, hey, you know what you should be doing
Speaker 1: right now is go down where elmo is and Minnie
Speaker 1: Mouse and Mickey Mouse. You know how much money that
Speaker 1: guy would have made on tips if he had gone
Speaker 1: down to the strip, you know, outside the oh yeah,
Speaker 1: part of those cartoon characters walking around.
Speaker 3: He would have made a fortune. Yeah, because your common
Speaker 3: NFL fan would have paid twenty dollars to pose and
Speaker 3: take a picture, and they could have lied or at
Speaker 3: least tricked people the way you tricked my Wifey. You
Speaker 3: weren't trying to she was. She was tricked just because
Speaker 3: he looks so much like Andy Reid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he looks more like Andy Reid than.
Speaker 3: In people know where at the super Bowl. So in
Speaker 3: her mind he was there interviewing with radio stations.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's nuts, but that guy is a listener of
Speaker 1: he's a connoisseur of sports radio. I should get him
Speaker 1: on the podcast. I actually have his information. I can
Speaker 1: get him on the pod sometime. But I could have
Speaker 1: had him on last weekend, but I just think that's
Speaker 1: more of a visual thing. I think we said that
Speaker 1: on the podcast. But it's kind of be an interesting story,
Speaker 1: like what it's like to look like Andy Reid and
Speaker 1: when he goes to these events and stuff.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure he has wonderful stories to tell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's a listener because he and another one
Speaker 1: of those kind of cool radio nerd moments Danny where
Speaker 1: I introduced myself to him and he's, Oh, yeah, I
Speaker 1: know who you are. I hear you. I've heard your show.
Speaker 3: And I was an impersonator for one day. I'll tell
Speaker 3: you the story in sixty seconds. Okay. So I worked
Speaker 3: for a radio station in Ventura, California. One of our
Speaker 3: am stations was kb ET. All right, so no big deal,
Speaker 3: but there was a KBET van that they let me
Speaker 3: drive sometimes. Well, the Raiders were in their last season,
Speaker 3: playing in Oxnard for training camp now where the Cowboys
Speaker 3: are located. They had me run an errand I had
Speaker 3: to go out there because there was there was something
Speaker 3: being delivered, a commercial for something was being delivered. So
Speaker 3: I go out there to They called it the Raider
Speaker 3: Radison at the time, and I pull up in the
Speaker 3: kb Et van and there's some Raider players out there
Speaker 3: in front of where the sports bar was, in front
Speaker 3: of this ratison, and they told me, oh, kb Et,
Speaker 3: hey come up here, come with us. So they invite
Speaker 3: me up the stairs to one of the bungalows and
Speaker 3: there's all these players who I recognized, of course, because
Speaker 3: I'm a big Raiders fan, and they're all sitting around
Speaker 3: in one of these rooms and they're just shooting the shit.
Speaker 3: One's playing like an NES video game from back in
Speaker 3: the day, and they're talking to me. They're they're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: chit down, blah blah blah, and they're talking about b
Speaker 3: and then one of them says, so, how long have
Speaker 3: you worked for be Et Television?
Speaker 1: Well did you just going in? You're just like, hey, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's been a while.
Speaker 3: I was a kid at the time, so I didn't
Speaker 3: know how to roll with it, so I had to
Speaker 3: explain to him who I was and what I did.
Speaker 3: And let's just say my visit ended shortly thereafter.
Speaker 1: Oh he's got to play along, right, Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: Later in my career, I would have just played along
Speaker 3: and been like, yeah, man, be ET's crazy. It's a
Speaker 3: crazy job.
Speaker 1: That's uh, that's pretty good there. But yeah, so the
Speaker 1: any Reid thing, the Andy Reid look alike was pretty
Speaker 1: pretty amusing. Of all the restaurants in Vegas, Like he
Speaker 1: just happened to walk into that one.
Speaker 3: What did you order there that everybody wants to know
Speaker 3: what you Well?
Speaker 1: I did eat the chicken palm. I love the chicken palm.
Speaker 1: The chicken parm there was amazing. But we had we
Speaker 1: went big, right, because this was like our big night out,
Speaker 1: so we're a big eating night. We had toasted ravioli.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was standing hard.
Speaker 3: Those in marin Ea.
Speaker 1: They had they had a really good it wasn't a Marenia,
Speaker 1: but it was kind.
Speaker 3: Of a ranch, no, Danny, Danny, No.
Speaker 1: They had a really good sauce and we had like
Speaker 1: a garlic cheese bread type thing which was really just
Speaker 1: just the whole meal was was wonderful and as always,
Speaker 1: what I did to prevent myself from from hating the meal.
Speaker 1: When the bill came, I told the wife, I said, Okay,
Speaker 1: if I look at that, I can I can pay
Speaker 1: for it, but I will be in a bad mood
Speaker 1: the rest of the night. But if you pay for it.
Speaker 1: I will not be in a bad mood because I
Speaker 1: will not know how much that is. And if I
Speaker 1: know how much I'm paying for that meal, I will
Speaker 1: want to throw it up and eat it again, so
Speaker 1: I get two meals out of it. So that's that's
Speaker 1: kind of the way we did our business.
Speaker 3: On that Uh.
Speaker 1: And then they they kicked us out. They didn't kick
Speaker 1: them out. They kicked us out, Danny, which was a
Speaker 1: little a little different there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like how the Raider players kicked me out
Speaker 3: of their bungalow. It's one. It's been one of those
Speaker 3: weeks where I'm like, damn it, I need that. Why
Speaker 3: didn't I put that back in my backpack, like a
Speaker 3: shitty week where I'm unorganized because my stuff is all
Speaker 3: over the place. Well, my schedule is like that too,
Speaker 3: because the school and the school district they're like, Okay,
Speaker 3: you can have the week off to go travel to
Speaker 3: Las Vegas for the Super Bowl, but when you come back,
Speaker 3: we need you to pick up a couple of extra
Speaker 3: shifts to cover for people that covered for you. So
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, so I'll do your Fridays. I'm
Speaker 3: usually off from there on Friday mornings, fine, So you
Speaker 3: got to wheel and deal with your job sometimes to
Speaker 3: get time off. All right, Well, here's the bad part.
Speaker 3: I get a text message from our boss here at
Speaker 3: the network and he says, Hey, some good news. You
Speaker 3: guys are filling in for Dan Patrick next week Monday
Speaker 3: through Wednesday. The hat trick. They call it the CNR
Speaker 3: hat trick. Uh huh, Ben, you know what time the
Speaker 3: Dan Patrick shows on? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Early, early in the morning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the time where I have to go unlock
Speaker 3: that campus and be an adult, all right, for the
Speaker 3: for the second job there. I tell my boss, I'm like,
Speaker 3: I think I could weasel out of Monday.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 3: There's no way I could get Tuesday and Wednesday off
Speaker 3: next week from the school because I just ditched them
Speaker 3: last week. I was trying to, you know, figure all
Speaker 3: that out. And then I get a text later that
Speaker 3: day saying, and next Thursday, you guys are filling in
Speaker 3: for Colin Cowherd. Shit, I can't get that day off either.
Speaker 3: But Colin starts at nine am. Okay, I can get
Speaker 3: out of that campus at about eight thirty am. But
Speaker 3: then I'm doing the math and I'm doing the ways app.
Speaker 3: So a couple days ago on Thursday morning, right when
Speaker 3: it hit eight am. At the stroke of eight am,
Speaker 3: like Cinderella, I go to the ways app and I
Speaker 3: punch in our work address and it says fifty five
Speaker 3: minutes yeah to go eighteen miles cool, and I'm thinking, shit,
Speaker 3: I forgot about that the last time seeing our filled
Speaker 3: in for Cowherd, it took like an hour and twenty
Speaker 3: minute sitting in the morning crap. I mean, it was
Speaker 3: like somebody vomited all over the freeways. It was so bad.
Speaker 3: I had to get onto Venturl Boulevard and that didn't
Speaker 3: move either. So you just feel trapped, like claustrophobic in
Speaker 3: those situations. And I thought about it. I'm like, what
Speaker 3: am I gonna do? Can I maybe kick the kids
Speaker 3: out of my classroom at eight am when it's okay
Speaker 3: for them to be wandering around the campus. Now, normally
Speaker 3: what I do in my early morning classroom, Ben is
Speaker 3: I entertain these kids till about eight twenty all right
Speaker 3: when the bell rings and that bell is like, oh shit,
Speaker 3: you got to get your books and run to your
Speaker 3: first class. Well, can I or do you think I
Speaker 3: will get caught next Thursday? Can I at eight am
Speaker 3: say to the kids. Hey, guys, I'm so sorry, but
Speaker 3: I got to kick your asses out of this warm
Speaker 3: room and you have to wander the campus for twenty
Speaker 3: minutes because I need to go to Sherman Oaks, California.
Speaker 1: Will you see, as long as it's not raining, that's
Speaker 1: a good point. If there's an atmospheric river, you're screwed.
Speaker 3: You'll know this. How do you wind up getting in
Speaker 3: trouble at a school? Well, somebody rats you out, yes,
Speaker 3: and who would rat you out? There's always that one kid. Yes,
Speaker 3: there you go, the one kid who wanted to stay
Speaker 3: and play on his phone and charge his laptop. I'm
Speaker 3: mister G. You love, mister G. I was cold for
Speaker 3: ten minutes. And then that mom's gonna call the principal,
Speaker 3: and then the principal is gonna text me that she
Speaker 3: needs to have a sit down with me, and then
Speaker 3: you know, the shit will hit the fan. I have
Speaker 3: to be very strategic in this. Now, Do I maybe
Speaker 3: do the rundown for that next Thursday morning show the
Speaker 3: day before, give it to Covino and Rich a day
Speaker 3: early and tell them, hey, I'm going to be running
Speaker 3: just on time, you know, And do I push it
Speaker 3: to like eight p fifteen and then watch the show
Speaker 3: is starting. I don't know how to do this, Yeah,
Speaker 3: so I would.
Speaker 1: The way I would play it is you tell the
Speaker 1: kids on Wednesday tomorrow, you know I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: s them a whole day to rat No, but if
Speaker 1: you let them know, maybe they'll be prepared for rather
Speaker 1: than springing on them, then I would definitely do there.
Speaker 3: I'll definitely do the rundown like on the Yeah, the
Speaker 3: night before. But here's one little problem with saying something
Speaker 3: the day before. There's different kids each day. There's some regulars,
Speaker 3: but there's also different kids who come on different mornings. Gotcha.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So technically, by the letter of the law, if
Speaker 1: you're only supposed to be there till.
Speaker 3: Eight, they allow me to clock out at eight thirty
Speaker 3: five am. Anything after that, I'm not supposed to put
Speaker 3: on a time card. So in their minds, I think
Speaker 3: I'm supposed to be cleaning that room up around eight thirty. Okay,
Speaker 3: so about half an hour.
Speaker 1: Is there anyone else there that you trust that works there?
Speaker 3: They could No, No, no, there's no there's no one
Speaker 3: to conspire with. Unfortunately, you're so it's a thirty minute
Speaker 3: block of time that I have to be real gangster about.
Speaker 1: That's a tough one. It's only it's only thirty minutes though,
Speaker 1: But in kid time last like four hours.
Speaker 3: True, that's the problem for us.
Speaker 1: Thirty minutes flies by, no problem.
Speaker 3: You know, it's been California cold in the morning. The
Speaker 3: chances of a kid complaining and crying about it, those
Speaker 3: chances are high right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always that one kid.
Speaker 3: I'll update you next week on whether or not I
Speaker 3: have a second job.
Speaker 1: All right, let us let us know you're fired. The
Speaker 1: uh A couple of things to the idiom of the week.
Speaker 1: Are you ready for the idiom of the week?
Speaker 3: Idiot of the way?
Speaker 1: It's idiom, it's an idiom of the week. Well, this
Speaker 1: is something that you'll actually have to deal with probably
Speaker 1: next week. Well, Danny, it's called face the music, right,
Speaker 1: you have to face the music? And oh dare you
Speaker 1: and all that? That happens to be the idiom of
Speaker 1: the week. And most of us know what that means.
Speaker 1: It means to accept the truth and whatnot. So time
Speaker 1: to face the music that you have a problem. You
Speaker 1: have a problem. Well, that term face the music. There's
Speaker 1: a couple of theories on where it originated from. The
Speaker 1: idiom face the Music the most popular and what is
Speaker 1: believed to be true is it comes courtesy of the
Speaker 1: British military. And the legend goes back in the day,
Speaker 1: when someone was getting court martialed, they were getting in trouble,
Speaker 1: there would be a military drum squad playing, and that's
Speaker 1: where the term faced the music came from. When you
Speaker 1: were being court martialed, you would be greeted by the
Speaker 1: military drum squad and the term drummed out of the
Speaker 1: military also came from that particular practice. Now I haven't
Speaker 1: really heard that much drummed out of the military. The
Speaker 1: other popular theory, which is not as believed as the
Speaker 1: first one. Most people seem to think that face the
Speaker 1: Music came from the British military. But the other theory
Speaker 1: is that in acting, the actor who faced the music
Speaker 1: was the one that faced the orchestra pit in a
Speaker 1: live stage performance, like you have the right in front
Speaker 1: of the stage there often you'd have the orchestra back
Speaker 1: in the day, and so those are the two theories.
Speaker 1: But the idiom of the week is face the music,
Speaker 1: Face the music, and that is the idiom of the week.
Speaker 1: I think we'll get out on that. It's Saturday, and
Speaker 1: it's a lazy, hazy Saturday. I got nothing to TV.
Speaker 3: That's it, not even.
Speaker 1: Much NBA All Star weekend, right, Yeah, don't don't contest.
Speaker 1: I'm over that.
Speaker 3: You don't want to see?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, yeah, that used to be a big event.
Speaker 3: I don't like the three contest.
Speaker 1: I'm a little I'm a little that even too. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you, yeah, I'll tell you why, because every night
Speaker 1: watching the NBA is like a three point contest. It's
Speaker 1: just poper shot. It's just get a rebound, throw it
Speaker 1: back out for a three point shot, over and over.
Speaker 1: And they should just add a moneyball. Every third three
Speaker 1: pointer you make is a moneyball. It's worth six points.
Speaker 1: They should make it and just do that. But I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm getting jaded. I'm getting to the point now
Speaker 1: where I don't even like the three point contest. I'll
Speaker 1: check it out, as you know, Danny, for content purposes own, Ye, yes,
Speaker 1: I will. I will consume some of the NBA product
Speaker 1: or content purposes only.
Speaker 3: Why can't they do like a moneyball system for our podcast?
Speaker 3: Like every third or fourth podcast we get triple the money.
Speaker 1: I think every one hundredth download we get a bonus.
Speaker 1: Every one hundred person that downloads the podcast, we get
Speaker 1: some money and we have a wonderful day. Thank you.
Speaker 1: We have the mail bag on Sunday and we look
Speaker 1: forward to that. We will talk to you then Asta
