WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: Daddy G, and Ben's Buckets!

0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Kabbooms.

0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:05.520
<v Speaker 2>If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:09.320
<v Speaker 2>a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:12.640
<v Speaker 2>of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 2>treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:17.640
<v Speaker 2>rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.440
<v Speaker 2>It's a clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special.

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 2>The fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in.

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 3>The air everywhere back in the podcast dojo, as it

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 3>is our Saturday podcast, Big Night, Tonight, Big Afternoon, actually

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 3>not night, Big Afternoon.

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>The Malard Meet and greet is today. I hope you

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>heard Andy, the comic book guy who is kind enough

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>to open his store to us this afternoon. All that

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>information on the Friday podcast, but we're looking forward to

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>seeing you. And I'm excited about this podcast because the

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>much anticipated return of a man whose life has been

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 1>changed forever. I think we should call this podcast father

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Knows Best, Fatherly Advice. Now from Daddy G Radio, Welcome back,

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Danny G. My man.

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.639
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, Now, whenever I play the infamous Daddy drop

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 4>on the podcast, it has a whole new meaning.

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Daddy Congratulations man, I'm very excited for you and your

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>lovely wife.

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>There.

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>You guys, everything seems to be going pretty well now, right,

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>You got a little bit of a routine at this point.

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 4>It's been a few days of things kind of settling

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 4>down into a routine as far as the baby, eating, pooping,

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 4>diaper change, napping for just a little bit, and then

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 4>waking up and putting it all on repeat.

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's quite amazing, the whole thing of life, because

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>you start out needing that, and then when you're about

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>to check out, if you're lucky enough to live long enough,

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 1>you need people to feed you and to wipe your tooks.

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>It's fascinating how that works. But the kid looks great.

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Everything I've seen, all the photos are awesome. You've been

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>posting a lot of stuff and so it's it's been

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>cool to see. And you've got to get that daily grind, right.

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's going to change a lot like the

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>first few years of the kid. It's every month it changes, right. Yeah.

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 4>It's interesting because you know, because all of a sudden,

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 4>you're more worried about some little human than yourself, and

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.239
<v Speaker 4>you're constantly checking on this baby, even when it's snapping

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 4>because you're like, is he blocking his nose in his

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 4>mouth with his hands?

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>What is he?

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 4>You know, you've got your eye on this little baby.

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 4>Twenty four to seven. And then the hospital is like, oh,

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 4>you have your first doctor's appointment the next day. And

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 4>so the next day we're in the car and we're

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 4>taking this kid to a doctor's appointment. And I'm like,

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.920
<v Speaker 4>but we just left the hospital. Why are we back

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 4>at a doctor's appointment. And she's like, oh, you got

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 4>to come back next week too, And I was like, man, shit, this.

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 5>Is going to be never ending. Yeah.

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and make sure you bring your checkbook with you

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>when you come back. And yeah, well, because they have

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>to do all the measurements right and all. That's like

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>it's like buying a car. You got to make sure

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>everything's working, all the spark plugs and all that stuff

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>are working. Make sure everything's are right.

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 4>It's more like getting a lemon if you got to

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 4>bring it to the mechanic every week.

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 1>That's a fair point. That's a point. Fair point. And

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>the other thing which is fascinating is that you know,

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>this is obviously we're in a advanced country, but there's

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people around the world that don't live

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>in places like this that are having kids. And methinks, Danny,

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>they're not not going to the doctor every week, you

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? You know, just it's better off

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>doing it. But there is a path to not necessari

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>necessarily doing it. And then you have to wait a

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>little while to get all like the shots, right, you

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>have to get those kid shots at some point, so

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how long they wait for that. But

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 1>there's a whole there's a whole list they have all

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 1>like a laundry list, right of stuff you have to

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>go through step by step with the kid, dude.

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 4>And some of these nurses inside we went to like

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 4>the Mini Kaiser here where we live locally, and the

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 4>nurse who took us back into our room, I swear to.

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.479
<v Speaker 5>God, Ben I'm a doctor.

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 4>She was uncoordinated, she was lost at what she was doing.

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 4>She measured the kid's head in centimeters instead of inches.

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy.

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 4>We found this out when the doctor came in and

0:04:55.240 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 4>was like, what whoa You know? The doctor thought the

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 4>kid had the world's largest melon.

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 4>And also she pulled up the computer to try to

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 4>schedule us for all these dumb appointments that probably aren't

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 4>necessary until the kid needs the shots, like you said, yeah,

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 4>because yeah, it's just basically the weigh and measure.

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 5>And my wife he's like, he's eating too much. I'm

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 5>not worried about any of that.

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 4>So she's like, you know, looking in the computer, she's like,

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:31.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't understand what's going on.

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 5>There is nothing available all next week.

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't get it. She was in two thoy and

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 4>twenty two in her computer.

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 1>That would make it a little difficult. But if you

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:49.160
<v Speaker 1>had a DeLorean, Danny could go back and you might

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.280
<v Speaker 1>be able to worry. So you had any walking disasters

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and nurse that's too bad, Yes, either having a bad

0:05:54.839 --> 0:06:00.120
<v Speaker 1>day or she's just generally be draggled, I guess. So

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 1>then you get at some point you're gonna get the

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I always love the measurables, right that you are the percentile,

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>you're in this percentile or that percentile, and they got

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the mat. That's the early analytics, Danny, that's the analytics

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>for your son will be or in this percentile for

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>or weight or right. I mean, so you got that in.

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.279
<v Speaker 4>The early signs are he will be an NFL linebacker?

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 1>And what team will you be playing for the.

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 5>Las Vegas Raiders are all be very upset.

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, by the time your son is twenty in his

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>early twenties, when most people play in the NFL, the

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 1>Raiders will likely have moved on from Vegas. They'll move

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.920
<v Speaker 1>on somewhere, don't they move every like twenty twenty five

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 1>years or so. It seems like it.

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 4>Just get us that bullet train that we need and

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 4>it'll basically be part of Los Angeles.

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>It's a suburb of LA It's just that's the way

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>it is.

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:57.039
<v Speaker 6>So.

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:02.479
<v Speaker 1>But I did see the photo your son partaking in

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the family bonding there. You were watching the Raider game.

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 4>It's his first silver and Black Sunday, even though it's

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 4>practiced football. It was Raiders Niners in Vegas where the

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 4>Raiders put the whoop in all over the forty nine ers,

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 4>and he proudly wore his Raider Onesie.

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he looked good too. That's a good looking, good

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 1>looking photo there, And I'm sure you will use that

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 1>when he grows up to become a cowboy fan. You

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>will use that as evidence to say, from the very beginning,

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>before you were even like, you know, two weeks old,

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>you were wearing that Raider stuff.

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 4>So I almost feel like Ben that I should pose

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.840
<v Speaker 4>him in lots of different NFL gear. That way, if

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 4>he does finally make it to the NFL Draft someday,

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 4>we can pull out some bullshit story about how he

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 4>grew up a fan of that team.

0:07:56.200 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>That's a great idea. Yeah, that's that's solidesdays. Can just

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>photoshop it, but it would be more fun, like with

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you in it. You know, they do like the father's

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 1>son and you get your wife in there, the mom,

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>the whole family there. I get the other kids around there,

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>and uh yeah.

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 5>I'd dream come true.

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>When I was before I even knew what a football was.

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.679
<v Speaker 1>So have you been getting sleep? People have been emailing

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 1>asking I know, we get the mail bag tomorrow, but

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>people have been asking Danny about You know a lot

0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 1>of guys that have kids. They are like, oh, I'm

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>sure Danny's not sleeping anymore. How's he going to handle

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 1>working and all that stuff? So has it been terrible?

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you have the the shifts down? Are you doing

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I assume you're doing part of the day and then

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the wife's doing the rest of it. Wrong, how's it work?

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 4>We don't have our schedules down yet because for Monday, Tuesday,

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 4>Wednesday the Covino and Rich Show, and I were doing

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 4>the Dan Patrick Show.

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:02.439
<v Speaker 1>Pleasure to be here this week for Dan Patrick. Yes,

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a there's a piece that comes with you.

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.319
<v Speaker 6>I mean, look at like I said, Jamar Chase is

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.199
<v Speaker 6>having to go to court to tell a one night

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 6>stand to stop bothering my mother, my family.

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>He's worried about it. Yeah.

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 6>So no, no, peace of mind better than piece of booty.

0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>He's not kidding.

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 4>And there was a moment last night where I was

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.959
<v Speaker 4>holding my new son, Koa, and I looked at him

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, holy crap, what did I do?

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:30.080
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm kidding. It's such a blessing. There there are.

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 6>Times where you know, you look back and you're like, yeah,

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 6>single days in your twenties or thirties, it's it's a

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 6>lot of fun. But peace of mind you can't beat it.

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 4>As you know, you got to wake your butt up

0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 4>at four am for that early morning show. I was

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 4>in the studios by five am and then home around

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 4>brunch time. So when I and when I got home,

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 4>I needed a nap, but first hold the baby and

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 4>wash bottles and relieve my wifey a little bit. She

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 4>has been a trooper. Man, She's doing most of the

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 4>hard work. I'm just her rn, if you know what

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying. I'm her assistant.

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I mean it's got to be scary, right

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 1>because it's the kids so fragile, right, It's like it's

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>got to be like, you know, you will wait a

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>little bit till the kid gets bigger, but you got

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 1>to keep an eye on it.

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 4>And man, it's yeah, it's like in high school when

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 4>they made it carry those stupid eggs around. You know,

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 4>I didn't break mine, Thank god I got a good

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 4>grade in that class.

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:38.319
<v Speaker 5>But it's just like that, and you have this new sense.

0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:43.559
<v Speaker 4>Of worrying about somebody that you have this really strong

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 4>connection to. Immediately the moment he started crying when he

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 4>was delivered.

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:51.959
<v Speaker 5>Blank my blank and blank you.

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:59.319
<v Speaker 4>I can't even explain the experience. Strange, almost like how

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 4>do you see? Can't put it into words, And parents

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.719
<v Speaker 4>would always tell me that can't explain it to you,

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 4>you have to go through it. And now that I've

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 4>gone through it, I understand it. Can't really explain it

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 4>except I feel like I have a GPS as I

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 4>get further away from him, closer to work, I'm more

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 4>worried and I have a little more anxiety based on

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 4>the fact that I want to know that he's good

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:24.679
<v Speaker 4>all the time.

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 1>So now you have to make the house like the Pentagon,

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>where you have cameras every or I guess at Vegas

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Casino would be a better I think that more cameras

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 1>in Vegas than they do the Pentagon. Just get air

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.320
<v Speaker 1>camera everywhere, and then when the kid gets a little older,

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>you'll put like an Apple tag and air tag, yes,

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 1>inside the kid, just to keep track, just in case

0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.719
<v Speaker 1>the kid goes anywhere there you'll be able to keep

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.840
<v Speaker 1>track completely. And that's that's the way to Have you

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 1>been eating regularly?

0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 5>Did I know?

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.959
<v Speaker 1>I have heard friends of mine that I've had kids.

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.320
<v Speaker 1>You have a kid, you know you eat a little

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 1>a little more off hours. Has that started for you?

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Or have you been able to avoid the leftovers and

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 1>the cold pizza and the half eaten turkey sandwich and

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff.

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:15.439
<v Speaker 5>You know?

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:21.319
<v Speaker 4>It's funny because my in laws brought over these delicious

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 4>lemon cakes. We didn't even eat any of them because

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.679
<v Speaker 4>we were like, okay, that's the kind of crap we

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 4>were eating while she was pregnant, and now the right portions,

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.839
<v Speaker 4>there's like the right proteins on the plate now the

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:41.359
<v Speaker 4>past few days. And so my girl already has transitioned

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 4>to all right, now, I gotta lose this baby weight.

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm healing right now.

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.600
<v Speaker 4>And you know, when she puts her mind to anything,

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 4>she kicks ass at it. So what's going to happen

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 4>now is she's going to go back to eating very

0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 4>healthy like she did before she got pregnant. And there's

0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 4>not going to be a lot of in and out

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 4>runs anymore the way there was when she was making

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 4>this guy.

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 1>So bad news for the local in and out Burger

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and several other doll Taco bell. Sorry, but that that's over.

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.839
<v Speaker 1>That's over for now. So it's like training camp. You

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.319
<v Speaker 1>got to get back in shape, right, You got to

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>get back and that whole thing. And that'll take a while.

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 4>This new weird schedule that I'm creating somewhere in there,

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 4>I have to at least add swimming or you know,

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 4>cardio or something where I'm getting my ass in gear

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.839
<v Speaker 4>again because I definitely also have some baby weight to lose.

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, the move here from what I've heard from buddies

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.199
<v Speaker 1>of mine that have had kids, is the three wheeled

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.680
<v Speaker 1>stroller and the pushy pushy and where you go for

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the walk and I don't know, it's not great cardio,

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 1>but at least your body's moving, you're getting out. You

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 1>can take the kid with you. He'll probably sleeping the

0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 1>whole time. Make sure it's covered so they don't get

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.599
<v Speaker 1>most of the sun or whatever, but that could be

0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the way to do it.

0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 4>We have one of those fancy strollers that the kid

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 4>pops off, it turns into a car seat.

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh nice.

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and the stroller part of it is still in

0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 4>the garage. I need to put that part together. So

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure we'll be ready to take walks next year.

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 1>So are you still in the I don't know if

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 1>honeymoon stage is the right place, but I've I've also

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 1>heard from my friends that have had the kids that

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>when you first have the kid, like everyone wants to

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 1>help you out, and then after a while they might

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.440
<v Speaker 1>come and see the kid, but you're kind of you're

0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 1>on you know, But I think you're still in that

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>nice period right where people like bringing your food and

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 1>stuff and they're like, hey, what can we do let's

0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 1>help you out a little.

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 4>It's funny that you ask about that, because that was

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 4>one of my Wifey's takeaways after we got home. She's like,

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 4>where are all the meals that I thought friends and

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 4>friendly would bring over? Instead it was us ordering Instacart

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 4>and doing Costco and ordering from the grocery store where

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 4>you just go park in their special parking space where

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 4>they load the back of your car, you know, Like

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 4>I said her, I said in laws. It was my

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 4>mother in law. She came over with groceries. And then

0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 4>my girl's dad came and visited the baby just for

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 4>a few minutes this past weekend, and that was pretty cool.

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 4>And they brought some things, and they brought a nice

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 4>little Costco meal for us. That was nice. But other

0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.720
<v Speaker 4>than that, nothing. There's been some things in the mail.

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 4>There was actually a few packages, some clothing from the

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 4>mal Or Militia. Oh nice Camion company. Yeah, yeah, a

0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 4>lot of it raiter related.

0:15:58.720 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 5>That was cool.

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's been things in the mail. It was and

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 4>you back up a few months. It was a really

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.280
<v Speaker 4>cool baby shower and registry and like you and your

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 4>lovely wife gave us a really really cool gift that's

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:17.040
<v Speaker 4>been in total use right now, and so you know,

0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I feel very grateful for anything that

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 4>anybody gives you to help out, because it is a

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 4>stressful time financially. The fact that we had to do

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 4>some of our own grocery shopping right now not a

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 4>big deal. I think my wife was just kind of

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 4>kidding more than anything, because she was like, I didn't

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.960
<v Speaker 4>think i'd have to be cooking or in the kitchen,

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, yeah, well you're stubborn. Go sit down,

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 4>I'll make you something. She's obviously the better cook than

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 4>I am, so that's why she wants to get back

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 4>into the kitchen so.

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Badly understandable, you know, from what I've heard, Danny, it's

0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.640
<v Speaker 1>a fiasco when you're in the option there. But you know,

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 1>it's certain things like it's really hard to mess up

0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>air fryer stuff, like you know, it's like that's stuff.

0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.880
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty much set it and forget it. It's it's

0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.879
<v Speaker 1>hard to have a catastrophe in the kitchen when you

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.760
<v Speaker 1>do the air fire and all that. But anyway, congratulations

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.640
<v Speaker 1>that I'm happy for. It's great and I'm sure we'll

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.960
<v Speaker 1>get many updates on the changing world of your son

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.120
<v Speaker 1>here as we as we move forward. I did want

0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:24.719
<v Speaker 1>to also mention on this being the Saturday podcast the Northeaster.

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I call it the unexpected trip that I had last week,

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.760
<v Speaker 1>and I hope you enjoyed the podcast. We made sure

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 1>to have original podcast even though I was away on

0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:41.400
<v Speaker 1>assignment and I was unable to You were away, Danny,

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 1>because you had obviously your fatherly duties. I was traveling

0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.400
<v Speaker 1>and this was not a trip that I had planned

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 1>way in advance. It was only a short amount of

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.679
<v Speaker 1>time and I ended up in Boston. I had a

0:17:55.720 --> 0:18:00.639
<v Speaker 1>great time. I can't really get too deep into it yet.

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully soon, probably very soon, I'll be able to give

0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:08.359
<v Speaker 1>you some information on it. But it was mostly in Boston,

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 1>but I ended up having a little bit starting.

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 5>The East Coast wing of Chippendale's.

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I've decided to branch out from being the overnight

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.280
<v Speaker 1>guy and I want to give people nightmares. I'm going

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:27.360
<v Speaker 1>to start Chippendales for fat guys, for the women who

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 1>love fat men, and I think that's a great way

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 1>to go and what could possibly go wrong with that?

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:35.719
<v Speaker 1>So Yeah, I was in Boston and I hit all

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the new England States. Though I did not hit Vermont,

0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna see Arnie span Your I figured, you know,

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I was in Boston, I had, I had. I decided

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 1>to stay a little bit longer so I could enjoy

0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Boston because I had some work stuff. But and then

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I went to UH I called. I text Arnie. The

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:54.800
<v Speaker 1>first thing about this, Danny g is now, I used

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.440
<v Speaker 1>to work with Arnie a long time ago. We've known

0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 1>each other for way too long. But I went. I

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:05.520
<v Speaker 1>typed Arnie's number into my phone to text him, and

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I had not sent him a text in over ten years.

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:11.280
<v Speaker 1>It was like eleven years the last time I sent

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a text, So like, oh man, that's a lot I want.

0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even know it was still this number. So

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I sent a text, and I kind of was vague

0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:22.879
<v Speaker 1>because I wasn't sure. I thought maybe Arnie changed his

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.159
<v Speaker 1>number because it was like an I think it was

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 1>an LA number, and he's in Vermont the area code.

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 1>So I sent him a message and he wrote back

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.920
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, who's this, which tells me he deleted

0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:36.399
<v Speaker 1>my number from his phone, you know what. Either that

0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.239
<v Speaker 1>or it was somebody else. So we're going back and

0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 1>forth and it turns out it was Arnie. So then

0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, all right, you know, you know I'm in Boston.

0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I love to see you, I know, maybe go lunch

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:52.119
<v Speaker 1>or something dinner. And he's like, he's like, it's like

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 1>two and a half three hours from where I was

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.120
<v Speaker 1>to where he is. And I was like, I don't

0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.359
<v Speaker 1>know about that. Yeah, So I didn't do it, but

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I do want to get to Vermont. I will see

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.119
<v Speaker 1>Arnie at some point when I get back to Boston.

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.840
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't get to Vermont. But we made it

0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.920
<v Speaker 1>all the other New England states. I the wife had

0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:12.920
<v Speaker 1>not been to Rhode Island. I had been to Rhode Island.

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:17.199
<v Speaker 1>So we did the full New England one day trip

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.600
<v Speaker 1>from Provident and we drove down to Providence, Rhode Island.

0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Here's a fun fact. We went to rent a car

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:26.679
<v Speaker 1>because I usually did not have a car. So we

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.880
<v Speaker 1>went to this small commuter airport, which is a private

0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 1>airport outside Boston, which is where Robert Craft and Bill

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:37.479
<v Speaker 1>Belichick and Gronk well he used to have he's not

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.760
<v Speaker 1>there anymore, but Belichick and Craft have their private plane,

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and Brady used to fly out of this private airport,

0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.879
<v Speaker 1>and so the guy at the rental car place, you know,

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 1>typical Boston, New England guy. You know, he's rapping about it.

0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:52.639
<v Speaker 1>And all these people that come into the airport. You know,

0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:57.080
<v Speaker 1>it's no commercial, it's no public, it's just for some reason,

0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.080
<v Speaker 1>they at a rental car place, but it's a private airport.

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, oh yeah, yeah. Robert Craft comes to

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's very nice, very polite. You know, everyone

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:07.560
<v Speaker 1>loves him. Belichick, you know, total jerk. He doesn't talk

0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to anybody. And then he was talking about great Gronk

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:14.240
<v Speaker 1>was and all that. So but got the car and

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:19.359
<v Speaker 1>then we ended up partly because the Uber driver to

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:21.160
<v Speaker 1>get to the runner car place is like, oh eh,

0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:22.920
<v Speaker 1>you go down to Rhode Island, you know, And I

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 1>had been to Rade Island. My wife had not been.

0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:26.920
<v Speaker 1>So we ended up driving down to Rhode Island, Providence,

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Rhode Island, capital of Rhode Island, the small estate and

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:32.800
<v Speaker 1>it's only like it was like forty five miles or

0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:34.480
<v Speaker 1>whatever from where we were. So we drove down there,

0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.560
<v Speaker 1>and then my wife had to have breakfast. I'm not

0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a breakfast guy, Danny's you know, but my wife's like,

0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:42.119
<v Speaker 1>we got to get breakfast. So we stopped at this

0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:46.040
<v Speaker 1>place in Pawtucket, which was important to me because when

0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid, the Red Sox Triple A team

0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:51.399
<v Speaker 1>was in paw Tucket. So it's always a town I

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:53.440
<v Speaker 1>had heard of, even though I went to a Red

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Sox fan. But I remember this guy, Kevin Kennedy. Remember

0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:00.879
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Kennedy, the old course, Yeah, the old Red Sox manager.

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:05.000
<v Speaker 1>He worked at Fox Sports Radio. And Kevin was part

0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.879
<v Speaker 1>of a game the past Socks played in which was

0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:12.680
<v Speaker 1>like the longest game in professional baseball history. And so

0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I was when I was driving through there, I was

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of looking around. I was like, oh, no, I know,

0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.119
<v Speaker 1>the team's not there anymore, at least the Triple A

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 1>team's not there anymore. Then we went to We went

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:25.119
<v Speaker 1>from there, we went back up through Salem. My wife

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:29.199
<v Speaker 1>loves Salem. That's her favorite town in Massachusetts. Salem. We

0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:32.760
<v Speaker 1>stopped there, it's the famous Witch's Place. And then I

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:36.680
<v Speaker 1>went to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I'd never been to New Hampshire.

0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:39.680
<v Speaker 1>It was beautiful, you know. It reminded me of for

0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 1>those that have not been like Santa Barbara, but in

0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 1>East Coast Santa Barbara, that kind of like a night

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:50.119
<v Speaker 1>It's like Santa Barbara with that New England flavor to it.

0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:56.160
<v Speaker 1>And then we kept going and we drove up to Portland, Maine,

0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 1>and I had never been to Maine. A lot of

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:02.120
<v Speaker 1>signs to watch out of the moose, a lot of trees,

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and I really liked Portland, Maine. It was I thought

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>it was outstanding. It was really cool. A lot of restaurants,

0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of bars, a lot of night life people

0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.919
<v Speaker 1>out and enjoined them. So the weather was great, so

0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:22.159
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of cool. And then leaving Maine that

0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:26.719
<v Speaker 1>night on the way back to Boston, ended up driving

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 1>through one of the worst rain storms I had ever

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 1>driven through. We we saw we were watching we were

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 1>having dinner at this restaurant in Portland and they had

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the Red Sox game on and there's like a little

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:41.280
<v Speaker 1>rain at the Red Sox game. They were playing the

0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I think they're playing the Royals that night. There's like

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:47.160
<v Speaker 1>a little rain. It was like, you know whatever, I thought,

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:48.879
<v Speaker 1>it's not that bad. I don't mind driving in the

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 1>rain if it's not that bad. So we didn't even

0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 1>bother looking. I should have looked at one of the

0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:56.760
<v Speaker 1>weather apps. So we get on the road. I stayed

0:23:56.760 --> 0:24:00.240
<v Speaker 1>in Portland, Maine, probably after midnight by the time we Yeah,

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe not. I was close to midnight by the time

0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:04.720
<v Speaker 1>we got on the road back to Boston. And so

0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm driving and all of a sudden starts raining. It

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:10.720
<v Speaker 1>was kind of a light rain. And then a few

0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:12.639
<v Speaker 1>more miles down the road right right between you know,

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the end of the road from Maine, like the last

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:20.439
<v Speaker 1>twenty miles from Maine into New Hampshire, and then in

0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire, just horrifically bad rain, like we were waiting

0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:30.480
<v Speaker 1>for Noah's Ark to pull up alongside us, and just brutal.

0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:33.760
<v Speaker 1>And it was like that for most of the way

0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>back to Boston. One of the worst decisions I've made

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:40.560
<v Speaker 1>to make that I should have waited. I was like, ah,

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:44.359
<v Speaker 1>I let the storm pass, but didn't do it. And

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:48.840
<v Speaker 1>then I went back to Boston and we had a fine,

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:51.560
<v Speaker 1>fine day there at the North End. I did all

0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the usual spots went down. I actually I took a

0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 1>boat tour, not a boat tour, just we cruised around

0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:01.720
<v Speaker 1>a boat in the harbor and did not get to

0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:05.160
<v Speaker 1>a Red Sox game. There were a couple of reasons

0:25:05.200 --> 0:25:10.560
<v Speaker 1>for that. Tickets very expensive, and my brother who drove

0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 1>up from New York to hang out, my sister in law,

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and my wife not sports people, So it would have

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:18.439
<v Speaker 1>just been for me, and it would have been a

0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:21.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of money for people that aren't really like sporty people.

0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:23.679
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it would have been a waste of money.

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:25.680
<v Speaker 1>It was just me and my wife. I probably would

0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:29.120
<v Speaker 1>have done it, and I actually had a connection if

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:30.240
<v Speaker 1>we had been able to go to one of the

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:32.920
<v Speaker 1>games with the Royals. I actually know I know somebody

0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:35.880
<v Speaker 1>who probably could have gotten some freebies, but I didn't.

0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:38.680
<v Speaker 1>They're playing the Tigers on Friday, and I don't know

0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:41.879
<v Speaker 1>anybody from Detroit. So so that was that. So that

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:44.520
<v Speaker 1>was my Nor Easter experience. But I we'll have probably

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 1>some more details on that coming up. There's some things

0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:50.800
<v Speaker 1>that may or may not have been left on the

0:25:50.800 --> 0:25:52.040
<v Speaker 1>cutting room floor. Danny.

0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:56.600
<v Speaker 4>Yes, And you know you always learned something on the

0:25:56.600 --> 0:26:01.040
<v Speaker 4>Fifth Hour podcast. You were in the OJ Portland because

0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:06.000
<v Speaker 4>I remember learning in school that Portland, Maine was founded

0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:08.959
<v Speaker 4>much sooner than the West Coast counterpart.

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it wasn't the I heard the story too, and

0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 1>they were the Portland in Oregon. They didn't they do

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:16.520
<v Speaker 1>it like a flip. They were gonna call it either

0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Portland or was it Portland or Salem or Portland or Boston.

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:24.080
<v Speaker 1>And they decided on Portland. Weren't they deciding between? I

0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:27.199
<v Speaker 1>think if I remember hearing the story correctly, it was

0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:29.520
<v Speaker 1>like a flip of the coin or a vote or

0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:32.160
<v Speaker 1>something like that. But it was either Portland. They're gonna

0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:34.240
<v Speaker 1>name it off Portland, Maine, or they're gonna name it

0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 1>off another New England city like Salem or Boston.

0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:41.920
<v Speaker 4>I think it was like sixty five years that Portland,

0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:44.399
<v Speaker 4>Maine was there before Portland, Oregon.

0:26:45.400 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 5>So if you ever wonder which Portland came.

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:52.840
<v Speaker 1>First, now you know the rest of the story, and

0:26:53.200 --> 0:26:56.760
<v Speaker 1>that is not the town called Portlandia that is that

0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:59.879
<v Speaker 1>is different. All right, So here's the history of Portland

0:26:59.920 --> 0:27:01.879
<v Speaker 1>or this is the kind of content you need on

0:27:01.920 --> 0:27:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the fifth hour. This shows you we are versatile, Danny.

0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 1>We are very versatile on this podcast. So how did

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Portland get the name? In eighteen forty five, the name

0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:19.360
<v Speaker 1>of Portland was chosen for the community by a coin toss.

0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:27.480
<v Speaker 1>It was a coin. Yeah, they flipped a coin to

0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:34.879
<v Speaker 1>the side and they were versus the coin, says the

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:38.000
<v Speaker 1>two people involved in this. Oh yeah, I think I

0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of got most of it right. I think I

0:27:40.040 --> 0:27:42.080
<v Speaker 1>think I got kind of We're just talking on my ass.

0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I think I got a lot of it right. So

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the site of the future city of Portland, Oregon, was

0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:51.040
<v Speaker 1>known as American, Canadian and British, known to American, Canadian

0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:54.679
<v Speaker 1>and British traders, trappers, and settlers going back to the

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 1>eighteen thirties early eighteen forties. It was known as the

0:27:57.840 --> 0:28:02.399
<v Speaker 1>Clearing and it was small stopping place along the west

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 1>bank of the Big River there used by travelers to

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:12.120
<v Speaker 1>go between Oregon City and Fort Vancouver. And so there

0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:17.879
<v Speaker 1>was a Tennessee pioneer William Overton and Boston, Massachusetts lawyer

0:28:18.680 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Assa love Joy. I believe I might have been mispronouncing

0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the first name Asa Asa. Is it Awsa Awesome? I

0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:29.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know anyway, So this is a person of Tennessee,

0:28:29.720 --> 0:28:35.879
<v Speaker 1>person from from Boston, and they they were trying to

0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:39.720
<v Speaker 1>figure out what to call it. And Overton sold his

0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:43.400
<v Speaker 1>half of the claim to this other person, Francis Petty

0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Grove of Portland, Maine, and they flipped a coin to side.

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Petty Grove won, and then this guy loved Joy, sold

0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:59.960
<v Speaker 1>his half of the land and the rest is history.

0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 4>It would have been great to be alive back then

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 4>because we would have been millionaires.

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you could have just named crap after yourself or

0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:12.240
<v Speaker 1>whatever you felt like and have a fine time.

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:14.640
<v Speaker 5>Right, Tom, cruise on a horse. Then just plant your

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:15.960
<v Speaker 5>flag in the land that you.

0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Want exactly, exactly. Why don't we have the phrase of

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the week. You want the phrase of the week, Danny,

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I know you need the phrase of the week. Let's go, Well,

0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:28.480
<v Speaker 1>this is your bally Hood. Return to the podcast. You're

0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 1>much bally Hood. Return to the podcast. And the phrase,

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:33.280
<v Speaker 1>which actually the word of the week this week is

0:29:33.440 --> 0:29:35.960
<v Speaker 1>bally Hood, bally Hood.

0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:39.240
<v Speaker 4>So I only have a little production piece where it's

0:29:39.280 --> 0:29:42.080
<v Speaker 4>me and with echo saying phrase of the week.

0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 5>This is word of the week.

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is totally different. This is nothing like the

0:29:45.680 --> 0:29:49.280
<v Speaker 1>phrase of the week. Okay, nothing, let me.

0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:52.120
<v Speaker 5>Do a remix. Then the word of the week.

0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:57.840
<v Speaker 1>The word word word word is bally Hoo. It's a

0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 1>fun word. It's in my lexic. I don't use it

0:30:00.840 --> 0:30:03.080
<v Speaker 1>all the time. I use it occasionally. I'll probably use

0:30:03.120 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 1>it more after this on the Fifth Hour podcast. So

0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:11.800
<v Speaker 1>bally Who is a word that dates back only to

0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:15.200
<v Speaker 1>the eighteen hundreds. It's not that old. The word it's

0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:19.240
<v Speaker 1>it's common usage is dated back to nineteen oh eight.

0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:25.080
<v Speaker 1>It's from circus carnie slang, and it's supposed to be

0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:29.840
<v Speaker 1>a short sample of a side show. So bally who

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:35.720
<v Speaker 1>is circus jargon for a short sample of a sideshow.

0:30:35.720 --> 0:30:40.040
<v Speaker 1>It was used to lure customers in the early nineteen hundreds,

0:30:40.480 --> 0:30:45.280
<v Speaker 1>and that's the origin. It obviously goes back further than that.

0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:51.000
<v Speaker 1>The word was used in a various colloquial senses. They

0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:56.160
<v Speaker 1>say the word experts in the eighteen nineties. And there's

0:30:56.280 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 1>even a town, a village in County Cork, Ireland. Bally

0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Hooley is the name of it, which scen Ireland dates

0:31:08.880 --> 0:31:12.280
<v Speaker 1>way back before nineteen hundred. But they don't know for

0:31:12.320 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 1>sure where the phrase originally started other than the common usage,

0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:19.840
<v Speaker 1>which comes from America. They say they're in nautical lingo.

0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Bally who was a sailor's contemptuous word for any vessel

0:31:28.000 --> 0:31:32.200
<v Speaker 1>they disliked. They actually took it from a Spanish word,

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:36.239
<v Speaker 1>So there you go. The word of the week, not

0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:37.600
<v Speaker 1>the phrase of the week. The word of the week,

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:43.920
<v Speaker 1>the word of the week, Bally who. It is Saturday today, Danny,

0:31:46.520 --> 0:31:49.280

<v Speaker 1>I'll stay longer than that if people want to talk

0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to me. Otherwise I'm gone. But I plan I'll be

0:32:12.360 --> 0:32:14.480
<v Speaker 1>on at least till four impossibly longer, and I will

0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:17.320
<v Speaker 1>be baking. I'll be bringing I should say I already

0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 1>baked them. I'll be bringing Danny my homemade chocolate chip cookies.

0:32:21.480 --> 0:32:22.640
<v Speaker 1>And I saw this.

0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 4>I saw this on your post about the event, and

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:28.840
<v Speaker 4>it made me want to pack up my week and

0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:31.040
<v Speaker 4>a half old baby and come join the fun.

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, oh yeah, could be a rock star there.

0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:38.240
<v Speaker 1>But so I'm baking the cookies, and I'm using a

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:42.960
<v Speaker 1>hack that I got from Alf the Alien Opiner. So

0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:46.360
<v Speaker 1>if the cookies suck. I'm gonna blame out. But alf

0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:49.520
<v Speaker 1>is on TikTok. He's a cool hipster on TikTok. Seah,

0:32:49.560 --> 0:32:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not on TikTok, but he sent me this video

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:55.120
<v Speaker 1>on how to. People said my cookies were too flat,

0:32:55.640 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 1>so I need to fatten up my cookies. I need

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:02.640
<v Speaker 1>to have my cookies stand attention. So I there's a

0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:07.400
<v Speaker 1>little hack. We'll see how it goes, and I'm gonna

0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:09.480
<v Speaker 1>make as many cookies as it gonna make. And then

0:33:09.520 --> 0:33:13.040
<v Speaker 1>when we run out of cookies, that's it game, you know.

0:33:13.280 --> 0:33:17.280
<v Speaker 5>So some Aaron Rodgers mushrooms to fatten those babies up.

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, and uh and that's it. So we'll
