And I'm excited about this podcast because the 18 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: much anticipated return of a man whose life has been 19 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: changed forever. I think we should call this podcast father 20 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: Knows Best, Fatherly Advice. Now from Daddy G Radio, Welcome back, 21 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: Danny G. My man. 22 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,639 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Now, whenever I play the infamous Daddy drop 23 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 4: on the podcast, it has a whole new meaning. 24 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: Daddy Congratulations man, I'm very excited for you and your 25 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: lovely wife. 26 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 2: There. 27 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: You guys, everything seems to be going pretty well now, right, 28 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: You got a little bit of a routine at this point. 29 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 4: It's been a few days of things kind of settling 30 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 4: down into a routine as far as the baby, eating, pooping, 31 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 4: diaper change, napping for just a little bit, and then 32 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 4: waking up and putting it all on repeat. 33 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's quite amazing, the whole thing of life, because 34 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: you start out needing that, and then when you're about 35 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: to check out, if you're lucky enough to live long enough, 36 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: you need people to feed you and to wipe your tooks. 37 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: It's fascinating how that works. But the kid looks great. 38 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: Everything I've seen, all the photos are awesome. You've been 39 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: posting a lot of stuff and so it's it's been 40 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: cool to see. And you've got to get that daily grind, right. 41 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: I guess it's going to change a lot like the 42 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: first few years of the kid. It's every month it changes, right. Yeah. 43 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 4: It's interesting because you know, because all of a sudden, 44 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 4: you're more worried about some little human than yourself, and 45 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 4: you're constantly checking on this baby, even when it's snapping 46 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 4: because you're like, is he blocking his nose in his 47 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 4: mouth with his hands? 48 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: What is he? 49 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 4: You know, you've got your eye on this little baby. 50 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 4: Twenty four to seven. And then the hospital is like, oh, 51 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 4: you have your first doctor's appointment the next day. And 52 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 4: so the next day we're in the car and we're 53 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 4: taking this kid to a doctor's appointment. And I'm like, 54 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 4: but we just left the hospital. Why are we back 55 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 4: at a doctor's appointment. And she's like, oh, you got 56 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 4: to come back next week too, And I was like, man, shit, this. 57 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 5: Is going to be never ending. Yeah. 58 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and make sure you bring your checkbook with you 59 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: when you come back. And yeah, well, because they have 60 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: to do all the measurements right and all. That's like 61 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: it's like buying a car. You got to make sure 62 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: everything's working, all the spark plugs and all that stuff 63 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: are working. Make sure everything's are right. 64 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 4: It's more like getting a lemon if you got to 65 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 4: bring it to the mechanic every week. 66 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: That's a fair point. That's a point. Fair point. And 67 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: the other thing which is fascinating is that you know, 68 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: this is obviously we're in a advanced country, but there's 69 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people around the world that don't live 70 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: in places like this that are having kids. And methinks, Danny, 71 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: they're not not going to the doctor every week, you 72 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: know what I mean? You know, just it's better off 73 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: doing it. But there is a path to not necessari 74 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: necessarily doing it. And then you have to wait a 75 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: little while to get all like the shots, right, you 76 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: have to get those kid shots at some point, so 77 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: I don't know how long they wait for that. But 78 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: there's a whole there's a whole list they have all 79 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: like a laundry list, right of stuff you have to 80 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: go through step by step with the kid, dude. 81 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 4: And some of these nurses inside we went to like 82 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 4: the Mini Kaiser here where we live locally, and the 83 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 4: nurse who took us back into our room, I swear to. 84 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 5: God, Ben I'm a doctor. 85 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 4: She was uncoordinated, she was lost at what she was doing. 86 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 4: She measured the kid's head in centimeters instead of inches. 87 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: Oh boy. 88 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 4: We found this out when the doctor came in and 89 00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 4: was like, what whoa You know? The doctor thought the 90 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 4: kid had the world's largest melon. 91 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 92 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 4: And also she pulled up the computer to try to 93 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 4: schedule us for all these dumb appointments that probably aren't 94 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 4: necessary until the kid needs the shots, like you said, yeah, 95 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 4: because yeah, it's just basically the weigh and measure. 96 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 5: And my wife he's like, he's eating too much. I'm 97 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 5: not worried about any of that. 98 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 4: So she's like, you know, looking in the computer, she's like, 99 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 4: I don't understand what's going on. 100 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 5: There is nothing available all next week. 101 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 4: I don't get it. She was in two thoy and 102 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 4: twenty two in her computer. 103 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: That would make it a little difficult. But if you 104 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: had a DeLorean, Danny could go back and you might 105 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: be able to worry. So you had any walking disasters 106 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: and nurse that's too bad, Yes, either having a bad 107 00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: day or she's just generally be draggled, I guess. So 108 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: then you get at some point you're gonna get the 109 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: I always love the measurables, right that you are the percentile, 110 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: you're in this percentile or that percentile, and they got 111 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: the mat. That's the early analytics, Danny, that's the analytics 112 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: for your son will be or in this percentile for 113 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: or weight or right. I mean, so you got that in. 114 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 4: The early signs are he will be an NFL linebacker? 115 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: And what team will you be playing for the. 116 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 5: Las Vegas Raiders are all be very upset. 117 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: Well, by the time your son is twenty in his 118 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: early twenties, when most people play in the NFL, the 119 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: Raiders will likely have moved on from Vegas. They'll move 120 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: on somewhere, don't they move every like twenty twenty five 121 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: years or so. It seems like it. 122 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 4: Just get us that bullet train that we need and 123 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 4: it'll basically be part of Los Angeles. 124 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: It's a suburb of LA It's just that's the way 125 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: it is. 126 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 6: So. 127 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: But I did see the photo your son partaking in 128 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: the family bonding there. You were watching the Raider game. 129 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 4: It's his first silver and Black Sunday, even though it's 130 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 4: practiced football. It was Raiders Niners in Vegas where the 131 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 4: Raiders put the whoop in all over the forty nine ers, 132 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 4: and he proudly wore his Raider Onesie. 133 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, he looked good too. That's a good looking, good 134 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: looking photo there, And I'm sure you will use that 135 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: when he grows up to become a cowboy fan. You 136 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: will use that as evidence to say, from the very beginning, 137 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: before you were even like, you know, two weeks old, 138 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: you were wearing that Raider stuff. 139 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 4: So I almost feel like Ben that I should pose 140 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 4: him in lots of different NFL gear. That way, if 141 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 4: he does finally make it to the NFL Draft someday, 142 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 4: we can pull out some bullshit story about how he 143 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 4: grew up a fan of that team. 144 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: That's a great idea. Yeah, that's that's solidesdays. Can just 145 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: photoshop it, but it would be more fun, like with 146 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: you in it. You know, they do like the father's 147 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: son and you get your wife in there, the mom, 148 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: the whole family there. I get the other kids around there, 149 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: and uh yeah. 150 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 5: I'd dream come true. 151 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: When I was before I even knew what a football was. 152 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,679 Speaker 1: So have you been getting sleep? People have been emailing 153 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: asking I know, we get the mail bag tomorrow, but 154 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: people have been asking Danny about You know a lot 155 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: of guys that have kids. They are like, oh, I'm 156 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: sure Danny's not sleeping anymore. How's he going to handle 157 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: working and all that stuff? So has it been terrible? 158 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: Do you have the the shifts down? Are you doing 159 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: I assume you're doing part of the day and then 160 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: the wife's doing the rest of it. Wrong, how's it work? 161 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 4: We don't have our schedules down yet because for Monday, Tuesday, 162 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 4: Wednesday the Covino and Rich Show, and I were doing 163 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 4: the Dan Patrick Show. 164 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: Pleasure to be here this week for Dan Patrick.

Immediately the moment he started crying when he 200 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 4: was delivered. 201 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 5: Blank my blank and blank you. 202 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 4: I can't even explain the experience. Strange, almost like how 203 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 4: do you see? Can't put it into words, And parents 204 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,719 Speaker 4: would always tell me that can't explain it to you, 205 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 4: you have to go through it. And now that I've 206 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 4: gone through it, I understand it. Can't really explain it 207 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 4: except I feel like I have a GPS as I 208 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 4: get further away from him, closer to work, I'm more 209 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 4: worried and I have a little more anxiety based on 210 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 4: the fact that I want to know that he's good 211 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 4: all the time. 212 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: So now you have to make the house like the Pentagon, 213 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: where you have cameras every or I guess at Vegas 214 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: Casino would be a better I think that more cameras 215 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: in Vegas than they do the Pentagon. Just get air 216 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: camera everywhere, and then when the kid gets a little older, 217 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: you'll put like an Apple tag and air tag, yes, 218 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: inside the kid, just to keep track, just in case 219 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 1: the kid goes anywhere there you'll be able to keep 220 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: track completely.

You 259 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: can take the kid with you. He'll probably sleeping the 260 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: whole time. Make sure it's covered so they don't get 261 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,599 Speaker 1: most of the sun or whatever, but that could be 262 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: the way to do it. 263 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 4: We have one of those fancy strollers that the kid 264 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 4: pops off, it turns into a car seat. 265 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: Oh nice. 266 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, and the stroller part of it is still in 267 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 4: the garage.

She's like, 281 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 4: where are all the meals that I thought friends and 282 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 4: friendly would bring over? Instead it was us ordering Instacart 283 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 4: and doing Costco and ordering from the grocery store where 284 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 4: you just go park in their special parking space where 285 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 4: they load the back of your car, you know, Like 286 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 4: I said her, I said in laws.

The fact that we had to do 305 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 4: some of our own grocery shopping right now not a 306 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 4: big deal. I think my wife was just kind of 307 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 4: kidding more than anything, because she was like, I didn't 308 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 4: think i'd have to be cooking or in the kitchen, 309 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 4: and I was like, yeah, well you're stubborn. Go sit down, 310 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 4: I'll make you something. She's obviously the better cook than 311 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 4: I am, so that's why she wants to get back 312 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 4: into the kitchen so. 313 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: Badly understandable, you know, from what I've heard, Danny, it's 314 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: a fiasco when you're in the option there. But you know, 315 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: it's certain things like it's really hard to mess up 316 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: air fryer stuff, like you know, it's like that's stuff. 317 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: It's pretty much set it and forget it. It's it's 318 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: hard to have a catastrophe in the kitchen when you 319 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: do the air fire and all that. But anyway, congratulations 320 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: that I'm happy for. It's great and I'm sure we'll 321 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: get many updates on the changing world of your son 322 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: here as we as we move forward.

It was only a short amount of 331 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: time and I ended up in Boston. I had a 332 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: great time. I can't really get too deep into it yet. 333 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: Hopefully soon, probably very soon, I'll be able to give 334 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: you some information on it. But it was mostly in Boston, 335 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: but I ended up having a little bit starting. 336 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 5: The East Coast wing of Chippendale's. 337 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: Yes, I've decided to branch out from being the overnight 338 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: guy and I want to give people nightmares. I'm going 339 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: to start Chippendales for fat guys, for the women who 340 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: love fat men, and I think that's a great way 341 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: to go and what could possibly go wrong with that? 342 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 1: So Yeah, I was in Boston and I hit all 343 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: the new England States. Though I did not hit Vermont, 344 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: I was gonna see Arnie span Your I figured, you know, 345 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: I was in Boston, I had, I had. I decided 346 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: to stay a little bit longer so I could enjoy 347 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: Boston because I had some work stuff. But and then 348 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: I went to UH I called. I text Arnie. The 349 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: first thing about this, Danny g is now, I used 350 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: to work with Arnie a long time ago. We've known 351 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: each other for way too long. But I went. I 352 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: typed Arnie's number into my phone to text him, and 353 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: I had not sent him a text in over ten years. 354 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: It was like eleven years the last time I sent 355 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: a text, So like, oh man, that's a lot I want. 356 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: I didn't even know it was still this number. So 357 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: I sent a text, and I kind of was vague 358 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: because I wasn't sure. I thought maybe Arnie changed his 359 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: number because it was like an I think it was 360 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: an LA number, and he's in Vermont the area code. 361 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: So I sent him a message and he wrote back 362 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: and he's like, who's this, which tells me he deleted 363 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: my number from his phone, you know what. Either that 364 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,239 Speaker 1: or it was somebody else. So we're going back and 365 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: forth and it turns out it was Arnie. So then 366 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, you know, you know I'm in Boston. 367 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: I love to see you, I know, maybe go lunch 368 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: or something dinner. And he's like, he's like, it's like 369 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: two and a half three hours from where I was 370 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: to where he is. And I was like, I don't 371 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: know about that. Yeah, So I didn't do it, but 372 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: I do want to get to Vermont. I will see 373 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: Arnie at some point when I get back to Boston. 374 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: But I didn't get to Vermont. But we made it 375 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: all the other New England states. I the wife had 376 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: not been to Rhode Island. I had been to Rhode Island. 377 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: So we did the full New England one day trip 378 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: from Provident and we drove down to Providence, Rhode Island. 379 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: Here's a fun fact. We went to rent a car 380 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: because I usually did not have a car. So we 381 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: went to this small commuter airport, which is a private 382 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: airport outside Boston, which is where Robert Craft and Bill 383 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 1: Belichick and Gronk well he used to have he's not 384 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: there anymore, but Belichick and Craft have their private plane, 385 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: and Brady used to fly out of this private airport, 386 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: and so the guy at the rental car place, you know, 387 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: typical Boston, New England guy. You know, he's rapping about it. 388 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: And all these people that come into the airport. You know, 389 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: it's no commercial, it's no public, it's just for some reason, 390 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: they at a rental car place, but it's a private airport. 391 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: And he's like, oh yeah, yeah. Robert Craft comes to 392 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, he's very nice, very polite. You know, everyone 393 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: loves him. Belichick, you know, total jerk. He doesn't talk 394 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: to anybody. And then he was talking about great Gronk 395 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: was and all that. So but got the car and 396 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: then we ended up partly because the Uber driver to 397 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: get to the runner car place is like, oh eh, 398 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: you go down to Rhode Island, you know, And I 399 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: had been to Rade Island. My wife had not been. 400 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: So we ended up driving down to Rhode Island, Providence, 401 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: Rhode Island, capital of Rhode Island, the small estate and 402 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: it's only like it was like forty five miles or 403 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: whatever from where we were. So we drove down there, 404 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: and then my wife had to have breakfast. I'm not 405 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: a breakfast guy, Danny's you know, but my wife's like, 406 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: we got to get breakfast. So we stopped at this 407 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: place in Pawtucket, which was important to me because when 408 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: I was a kid, the Red Sox Triple A team 409 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: was in paw Tucket. So it's always a town I 410 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: had heard of, even though I went to a Red 411 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: Sox fan. But I remember this guy, Kevin Kennedy. Remember 412 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: Kevin Kennedy, the old course, Yeah, the old Red Sox manager. 413 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: He worked at Fox Sports Radio. And Kevin was part 414 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: of a game the past Socks played in which was 415 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: like the longest game in professional baseball history. And so 416 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: I was when I was driving through there, I was 417 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: kind of looking around. I was like, oh, no, I know, 418 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: the team's not there anymore, at least the Triple A 419 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: team's not there anymore. Then we went to We went 420 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: from there, we went back up through Salem. My wife 421 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 1: loves Salem. That's her favorite town in Massachusetts. Salem. We 422 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: stopped there, it's the famous Witch's Place. And then I 423 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: went to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I'd never been to New Hampshire. 424 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: It was beautiful, you know. It reminded me of for 425 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: those that have not been like Santa Barbara, but in 426 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: East Coast Santa Barbara, that kind of like a night 427 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: It's like Santa Barbara with that New England flavor to it. 428 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: And then we kept going and we drove up to Portland, Maine, 429 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: and I had never been to Maine. A lot of 430 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: signs to watch out of the moose, a lot of trees, 431 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: and I really liked Portland, Maine. It was I thought 432 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: it was outstanding. It was really cool. A lot of restaurants, 433 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: a lot of bars, a lot of night life people 434 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: out and enjoined them. So the weather was great, so 435 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: it was kind of cool. And then leaving Maine that 436 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,719 Speaker 1: night on the way back to Boston, ended up driving 437 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: through one of the worst rain storms I had ever 438 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: driven through. We we saw we were watching we were 439 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: having dinner at this restaurant in Portland and they had 440 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: the Red Sox game on and there's like a little 441 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: rain at the Red Sox game. They were playing the 442 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: I think they're playing the Royals that night. There's like 443 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: a little rain. It was like, you know whatever, I thought, 444 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: it's not that bad. I don't mind driving in the 445 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: rain if it's not that bad. So we didn't even 446 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: bother looking. I should have looked at one of the 447 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: weather apps. So we get on the road. I stayed 448 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: in Portland, Maine, probably after midnight by the time we Yeah, 449 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: maybe not. I was close to midnight by the time 450 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: we got on the road back to Boston. And so 451 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: I'm driving and all of a sudden starts raining. It 452 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: was kind of a light rain. And then a few 453 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: more miles down the road right right between you know, 454 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: the end of the road from Maine, like the last 455 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: twenty miles from Maine into New Hampshire, and then in 456 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: New Hampshire, just horrifically bad rain, like we were waiting 457 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: for Noah's Ark to pull up alongside us, and just brutal. 458 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: And it was like that for most of the way 459 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: back to Boston. One of the worst decisions I've made 460 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: to make that I should have waited. I was like, ah, 461 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: I let the storm pass, but didn't do it. And 462 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: then I went back to Boston and we had a fine, 463 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: fine day there at the North End. I did all 464 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: the usual spots went down. I actually I took a 465 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: boat tour, not a boat tour, just we cruised around 466 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: a boat in the harbor and did not get to 467 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: a Red Sox game. There were a couple of reasons 468 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: for that. Tickets very expensive, and my brother who drove 469 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: up from New York to hang out, my sister in law, 470 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: and my wife not sports people, So it would have 471 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: just been for me, and it would have been a 472 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: lot of money for people that aren't really like sporty people. 473 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, it would have been a waste of money. 474 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: It was just me and my wife. I probably would 475 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: have done it, and I actually had a connection if 476 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: we had been able to go to one of the 477 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: games with the Royals. I actually know I know somebody 478 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: who probably could have gotten some freebies, but I didn't. 479 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: They're playing the Tigers on Friday, and I don't know 480 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: anybody from Detroit. So so that was that. So that 481 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: was my Nor Easter experience. But I we'll have probably 482 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: some more details on that coming up. There's some things 483 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: that may or may not have been left on the 484 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: cutting room floor. Danny. 485 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 4: Yes, And you know you always learned something on the 486 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 4: Fifth Hour podcast. You were in the OJ Portland because 487 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 4: I remember learning in school that Portland, Maine was founded 488 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 4: much sooner than the West Coast counterpart. 489 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't the I heard the story too, and 490 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: they were the Portland in Oregon. They didn't they do 491 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: it like a flip. They were gonna call it either 492 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: Portland or was it Portland or Salem or Portland or Boston. 493 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: And they decided on Portland. Weren't they deciding between? I 494 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 1: think if I remember hearing the story correctly, it was 495 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: like a flip of the coin or a vote or 496 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: something like that. But it was either Portland. They're gonna 497 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: name it off Portland, Maine, or they're gonna name it 498 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: off another New England city like Salem or Boston. 499 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 4: I think it was like sixty five years that Portland, 500 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 4: Maine was there before Portland, Oregon. 501 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 5: So if you ever wonder which Portland came. 502 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: First, now you know the rest of the story, and 503 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: that is not the town called Portlandia that is that 504 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: is different. All right, So here's the history of Portland 505 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: or this is the kind of content you need on 506 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: the fifth hour. This shows you we are versatile, Danny. 507 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: We are very versatile on this podcast. So how did 508 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: Portland get the name? In eighteen forty five, the name 509 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: of Portland was chosen for the community by a coin toss. 510 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: It was a coin. Yeah, they flipped a coin to 511 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: the side and they were versus the coin, says the 512 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: two people involved in this. Oh yeah, I think I 513 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: kind of got most of it right. I think I 514 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: think I got kind of We're just talking on my ass. 515 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: I think I got a lot of it right. So 516 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: the site of the future city of Portland, Oregon, was 517 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: known as American, Canadian and British, known to American, Canadian 518 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: and British traders, trappers, and settlers going back to the 519 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: eighteen thirties early eighteen forties. It was known as the 520 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: Clearing and it was small stopping place along the west 521 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: bank of the Big River there used by travelers to 522 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: go between Oregon City and Fort Vancouver. And so there 523 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: was a Tennessee pioneer William Overton and Boston, Massachusetts lawyer 524 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: Assa love Joy. I believe I might have been mispronouncing 525 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: the first name Asa Asa. Is it Awsa Awesome? I 526 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: don't know anyway, So this is a person of Tennessee, 527 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: person from from Boston, and they they were trying to 528 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: figure out what to call it. And Overton sold his 529 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: half of the claim to this other person, Francis Petty 530 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: Grove of Portland, Maine, and they flipped a coin to side. 531 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: Petty Grove won, and then this guy loved Joy, sold 532 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: his half of the land and the rest is history. 533 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 4: It would have been great to be alive back then 534 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 4: because we would have been millionaires. 535 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, you could have just named crap after yourself or 536 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: whatever you felt like and have a fine time. 537 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 5: Right, Tom, cruise on a horse. Then just plant your 538 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 5: flag in the land that you. 539 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: Want exactly, exactly. Why don't we have the phrase of 540 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: the week. You want the phrase of the week, Danny, 541 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: I know you need the phrase of the week. Let's go, Well, 542 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: this is your bally Hood. Return to the podcast. You're 543 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: much bally Hood. Return to the podcast. And the phrase, 544 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: which actually the word of the week this week is 545 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: bally Hood, bally Hood. 546 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 4: So I only have a little production piece where it's 547 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 4: me and with echo saying phrase of the week. 548 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 5: This is word of the week. 549 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is totally different. This is nothing like the 550 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: phrase of the week. Okay, nothing, let me. 551 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 5: Do a remix. Then the word of the week. 552 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: The word word word word is bally Hoo. It's a 553 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: fun word. It's in my lexic. I don't use it 554 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: all the time. I use it occasionally. I'll probably use 555 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: it more after this on the Fifth Hour podcast. So 556 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: bally Who is a word that dates back only to 557 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: the eighteen hundreds. It's not that old. The word it's 558 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: it's common usage is dated back to nineteen oh eight. 559 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: It's from circus carnie slang, and it's supposed to be 560 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: a short sample of a side show. So bally who 561 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: is circus jargon for a short sample of a sideshow. 562 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: It was used to lure customers in the early nineteen hundreds, 563 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: and that's the origin. It obviously goes back further than that. 564 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: The word was used in a various colloquial senses. They 565 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: say the word experts in the eighteen nineties. And there's 566 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: even a town, a village in County Cork, Ireland. Bally 567 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: Hooley is the name of it, which scen Ireland dates 568 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: way back before nineteen hundred. But they don't know for 569 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: sure where the phrase originally started other than the common usage, 570 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: which comes from America. They say they're in nautical lingo. 571 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: Bally who was a sailor's contemptuous word for any vessel 572 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: they disliked. They actually took it from a Spanish word, 573 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,239 Speaker 1: So there you go. The word of the week, not 574 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: the phrase of the week. The word of the week, 575 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: the word of the week, Bally who.
