I like to say that 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.760 because it used to annoy Tom Looney when I did. 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.080 The stuff with him. Oh you can not live blo tape. 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.360 But whatever. Anyway, it is the twelfth day of April. 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:52.000 We have made it till Saturday, and Danny G is 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:55.720 back in the hissy. As we hang out here on 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.080 this glorious Saturdays, I was thinking, maybe we do a 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.680 sporty podcast. Danny, I'm like, well, like, what's the big 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.000 NFL story Joe Flacco. 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:05.040 Going to the Browns. 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:06.840 I don't know that I needed to mention that on 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.840 the I guess I just mentioned it, but I Drew 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:11.560 Locke going back to Seattle. 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.440 That does not exactly stir there. 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.520 I have one for you. How about your boy Derek Carr. 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.560 After he and his agent told the Saints, hell, no, 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:23.119 we won't take a pay cut, Suddenly he is hurt. 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:24.160 What is it? His shoulder? 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:25.760 Yeah? Yeah, I saw you. 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:27.920 He need Yeah, And they think he's not going to 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.320 be able to play at all. So who is it 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.919 going to be? Rattler? No, they're going to now draft 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:32.680 a quarterback. 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:33.960 Yeah. 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.399 Well, that reminds me of one of the great episodes 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.399 in Laker history, back when I used to go out 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:44.199 to those games with Shaquille O'Neill. And do you remember 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.600 in the Shaq Kobe days there was one season that 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.640 Shaq came back and waited to get. 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.720 Surgery until the season like began. 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.960 Yes, And you remember the quote he says, I got 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.600 hurt on company time. I'm gonna heal on company time. 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:06.800 And it drove Phil Jackson. Those those people are crazy, 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.760 but that was his line. I got hurt on company time. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.720 Somebody hill in company time, and that the Derek Carr thing, 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.639 that is a good story, I'll admit I it wasn't 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:18.560 at the top of my head. But the Derek Carr thing, 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.280 it's it's like when did he hurt his shoulder? Like 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.040 all of a sudden, you need shoulder surgery in April. 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.920 The season ended for the Saints in early January, they 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.680 didn't make the playoffs, and so now you need surgery. 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:33.079 It's like. 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:36.200 Fishy going on. 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.360 Well this and it does happen. 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:43.320 Look, the Atlanta Braves signed Jerkson Profar to a contract 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.400 when chances are pretty good it's more likely than not 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.480 that he knew he was going to fail h He 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.680 had already failed the PD test and he got forty 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.720 million dollars from from the Atlanta Braves. He's gonna miss 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.280 half the season, he won't be able to play in 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:57.800 the playoffs. 0:02:57.919 --> 0:02:58.640 I know it's not an. 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:03.200 Injury, but it's it's a similar scam. And I looked 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.240 it up for a monologue this week, Danny. The Jerkson 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.720 Profar contract one of my favorite fun facts of the week, 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.400 that he got forty two million from the Atlanta Braves. 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.600 And if you look up the Loofs Tanza heist. You 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.960 know that famous heist from the airport in New York. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:20.000 Yeah, the cargo. 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.440 They made movies about it. In Today's money. It would 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.600 have been like four million dollars or something like that. 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.640 It's a very small amount. So Jerks and Profar actually 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.200 got more than the Luftanza heist from the Atlanta Braves 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:33.639 by a lot. 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.960 Like going to him close close and all that. 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.640 But on this podcast, we've got the cheesy goodness when 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.880 the legend isn't the fact. We'll check the report card, 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.680 we've got no bullets, phrase of the week, all kinds 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.960 of stuff, but we'll start with this. It is Saturday, 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:53.840 and today is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, Danny Grilled 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.760 Cheese Sandwich Day, And. 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.440 Well that goes perfect ben for what I woke up 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.920 to on this early Saturday morning. My wife and and 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:10.080 a couple of kids had some parmesan tomato soup last night. Okay, 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.640 and I didn't partake, but they left me some, so 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.160 I heated it up in the microwave as we were 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.400 getting set to broadcast the podcast. So in front of 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:22.279 me is a pipe and hot bowl of parmesan tomato soup. 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.800 What goes better with that than a grilled cheese. 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:27.760 Damn right, damn right? 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:32.599 And fun fact, bonus fun fact, the modern grilled cheese sandwich. 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:36.120 We are told, Danny that we still enjoy today that 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.880 you're hopefully going to enjoy here originated about one hundred 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.440 years ago, in the nineteen twenties. And they don't know 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.120 exactly who the first person to combine the bread and 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:51.120 cheese was, but the modern success they credit otto Frederick 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:56.680 Wahwetter raw Bedwetter. Oh see see if she probably wasn't 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:01.720 Beadweather when he was a kid. Rohwe d r. He 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:06.440 invented the bread slicer during the Industrial Revolution, the Gilded Age, 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.839 Gilded Age, and that invention, you know, dividing bread up 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.840 and all that stuff, making it affordable or affordable and 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.120 all that stuff, and that meant cheese could be transported 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.000 over long distances and not spoiled. 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.800 Yummy, Yeah, very yummy, mars so very yummy. 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:28.680 And the term grilled cheese originated in the nineteen sixties. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.159 How about that. That's only that that phrase, you know, 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:31.840 that's a long time ago. 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:32.880 That's when you were born. 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.920 No no, I was born in two thousand and five. 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.120 I think I'm twenty years old right now. 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.640 But the first reference to a melted cheese sandwich was 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:45.400 nineteen oh two. 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:51.440 The French word for it nineteen ten or so. 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:56.840 But it really was the the nineteen twenty seven culinary revolution, 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.120 the bread slicing. 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:02.720 Machine that opened up the world to what we have today. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:07.400 And so there we are, cheesy celebrated appropriately with grilled 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:12.159 cheese and a little life hack as the wife is 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:13.839 able to make the grilled cheese. Put the cheese on 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.839 the outside also not just the inside. 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:20.320 Oh man, missus Malard's grilled cheese sandwiches are some of 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:21.359 the best I've ever had. 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.800 Yeah, they're solid. Don't eat them that often. That great 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:30.440 for you. But when I ate them, man, outstanding, out standing. 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.480 Now, some people like to cut their grilled cheese up 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.800 and they like to put it like a little fondu 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.560 type situation, you know, the sandwich, dip it in the 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:41.640 cheese fondue and a little pot of cheese, and that's 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.680 cheese on top of cheese and top of cheese, and 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:44.400 that's extra. 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.159 Cheesy goodness is what is now. 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.000 I did want to mention this when the legend isn't 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.200 the fact. Now, there's a phrase that I use from 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.000 time to time, when the legend becomes the fact. Go 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.680 with the legend the man that shot liberty balance. But 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.800 when the legend isn't the fact? And I have an example. Now, 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:02.839 we love doing this podcast. We do it every weekend. 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.720 It's a labor of love, Danny, and we also get 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.599 paid for it on not much, not much, but on Friday, 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.920 Saturday and Sundays. We do this podcast today being Saturday, 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.920 and we'll have another one tomorrow and we do radio. 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:16.680 You're on with Colvino and Richard in the week I 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:18.400 got the Overnight show and so we do that a lot. 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.840 We've been we're radio nerds. We've both gotten a radio 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.440 when we were young. Danny was younger than I was. 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.520 I started when I was nineteen in radio. Danny, you 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:26.840 were like fifteen. 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.160 Or ything, like fifteen years old. 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.680 Yep, yeah, you're you're a young punk. And we love radio. 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:35.920 We've always loved radio. And over the years, the public 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:41.560 perception I blame Joe Rogan for this is that podcasting's 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.560 cool and radio. 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.040 Is not right, and that's the legend. 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.160 Now you know lately it's podcastings where all the cool 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.360 kids are and all that stuff. And well it turns 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.600 out when the legend isn't the facts. We get this 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.320 information all the time, and there was a big information dump. 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.400 It came and I think we're allowed to say this stuff. 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.200 I don't think this is bad stuff to say. I mean, 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.000 who knows, nobody told me not to say it? How 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:05.400 about that? 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:13.520 But when the public messaging doesn't line up with the reality. 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:13.640 Of the situation. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.480 Another terms for that, people will say, you know, disinformation. 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.680 You can maybe say it's an urban legend, modern folklore 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:22.880 and all that. 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:25.280 So I bring this up just to. 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.720 Show you the power that regular radio still has. According 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.400 to research, this goes to the fourth quarter of twenty 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:38.840 twenty four, and it's the power of the radio dial. 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:45.360 And they found that AMFM old school, oh your boomer, 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:50.040 your old head, still accounts for eighty six percent of 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:55.080 listening within a car for Americans eighteen plus eighty six 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:59.440 percent of listening in the car and most if you 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.600 went up to the average person Danny on the street 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.040 and you said, hey, you know how many people are 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:09.520 listening to podcast or you know, streaming music even rather 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.000 than radio, there's this misconception. I would think that most 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.719 people would say, well, podcasting or streaming music, but according to. 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:20.960 The research, it's not true. While pretty crazy. 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.720 We talked about some of the numbers last weekend, remember 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.440 and this backs up our conversation. 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.040 Yeah, for sure. They broke it down even further. 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.640 It's an hour's worth of US AD supported audio consumption. 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:38.559 Am FM represented forty one point two minutes of listening 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:43.080 out of an hour. Now podcasts worse second, but only 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:49.040 about eleven minutes. Now, my one of my podcast mentors 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:54.960 taught me that a podcast is only supposed to be 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:56.640 like about thirty. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.439 Minutes right around. We try to keep this to about 0:09:58.440 --> 0:09:59.040 thirty minutes. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.160 And the reason we do that is because the talk 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.400 is most people listen to a podcast. Maybe you're on 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.120 the gym or you're working out or something like that, 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.920 and you work out for about thirty minutes. 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.280 So it's like you're supposed to do a prep about 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.600 thirty minutes or whatever. So that's why we do this. 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.119 Some of the other stuff they broke down, the Spotify 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.880 was on there serious XM, but just for a couple 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:25.000 of minutes. And then Pandora Pandoraly got one point nine 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:29.079 minute per minutes per hour. So I thought those numbers 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:34.920 were interesting, and it shows you the still the overall number, 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:41.439 it's sixty nine percent audio time spent among people eighteen 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:45.760 plus sixty nine percent to the AMFM radio, and then 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.800 podcasting is second, and then after podcasting, it's it falls 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:51.560 off the map. 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.160 There's just not not a lot going on, Danny. After 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:58.840 not a lot going on, for sure, but no juice. Yeah, 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.720 definitely no juice. 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:03.880 And I know I haven't been in school in a 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.160 long time because I was a bad student and all 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.040 that stuff. But somewhere when those teachers that gave me 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.600 C plus's dandy, I want them to know that those 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.160 C pluses, I'm still working, So screw you. 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.360 That's what I and c's get degrees, Danny. That's the 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:19.359 most important. 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.160 Thing, right man. We've been having issues with our fourteen 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.520 year old for a couple of school years now because 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.560 there was a possibility that she was going to have 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.680 to be kept back in the eighth grade for another 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.560 go around, and that's a kid's worst nightmare. We finally 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.679 threatened her, We said, think about this, your friends are 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.000 going to be freshman in high school and you're going 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.000 to do the eighth grade over again in middle school. 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.880 Lo and behold, as my mom always used to say, 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.560 she started to study. She gets home now, actually goes 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.200 up to her room, and the first thing she does 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:53.800 is homework. 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:54.680 Ben. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.160 She had a D, she had an F, she had 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.120 a C. She didn't even have a C plus on 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:05.040 her last report card. We really had to, you know, 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:06.520 get her fired up for school. 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:13.280 Did you did you offer a financial reward or just threatening? Right? Yeah? 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:17.400 You know, smart or evil minds think alike, because yes, 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.679 Brenda did offer her five hundred dollars. 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:21.640 Whoa wow. 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.160 She offered her five hundred dollars if she could get 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.400 straight a's. And Brenda kind of laughed after she said that, 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.719 because it's like, there's no way in hell you're ever 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.800 going to get straight a's. But the progress reports came 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.880 out yesterday, and I have the progress report right here. 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:39.439 Are you ready? 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.640 Reveal answers, Reveal answers. 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:46.080 All right, humanities, don't ask me what that is.

It 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:05.400 looks like new media art. That's like them teaching kids 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.520 photoshop E A plus. 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:10.839 Yeah, that's hard to f that one. 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:11.080 Yeah. 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:11.360 Yeah. 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.720 And King, she's stuck with her devices in front of 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.000 her face at all hours of the day and night. 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:21.520 We knew she'd be good at that class. Pe. You 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.719 can't mess up Pe, right. You would think she had 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.360 a C last time in Pe because she was being lazy. 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:29.000 She got that up to a B. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.200 All right, good lunch. 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.520 There's no grade next to it. I don't even know 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:35.280 why they put that on. 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:44.000 I always got the top of my class. I was 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.480 going on school based. 0:13:52.800 --> 0:14:04.040 Uh, that's been so good. Then finally and then finally, 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:09.280 finally science. That was a side that was a C 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:13.720 minus last time she raised it to a B minus. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.600 Oh good, So she's she's moving in the right direction. 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.120 At least she's gonna be able to graduate and you know, 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.920 whatever small graduation they do from eighth to ninth grade. 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:25.960 But is there gonna be Is there gonna be a 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.720 side deal because she, uh, that's a that's a funny 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.280 thing your wife did, because yeah, she knew she never 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:32.120 had five hundred. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.080 But if she if she gets b's, that's doable. 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.280 Would they be like, well, we'll give me half or 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:38.800 something like that? 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.080 A side situation here? 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.320 And yeah, this is like if we started the show 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.120 talking about Derek Carr, this would be like if you 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.080 put an incentive in his contract. We'll give you ten 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:55.960 million extra dollars if you take us to the super Bowl. Yeah, 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.000 of course, uh not gonna get the straight a's. But 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.000 this is just the progress report. This is not the 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.880 official report card yet. So she has a chance to 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:07.160 get these c pluses raised up, and then I'm sure 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.080 her mom will give in a little bit and give 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.040 her some of that money based on the different classes 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.600 where she raised those grades up. And this weekend, in fact, 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.840 later today, we're gonna pack up the car and we're 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.080 gonna take her to Laguna Beach to the shops there 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.240 and her mom for the effort she's put in, her 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.200 mom's gonna let her shop with a one hundred dollars bill. 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.840 She was really excited about that. She's like, you didn't 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.400 get five hundred yet. I'll give you one hundred dollars 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.000 for your work and effort you put in, and you 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.840 can go shopping this evening in Laguna Beach. 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.440 Nice. Look at that little South O s action. 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.320 Yeah, except today with inflation, you can get two items 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.640 for one hundred dollars. She'll probably get two little bracelets 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:52.520 and it'll be like seventy five bucks. 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:57.200 Yeah, it'll they'll be made out of like paper or something. Yeah, handmade, 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:02.640 handcrafted and all that. Wow, well no bullets, no bullets. 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.640 Now we had a I call it Mal's law. Some 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.680 people say it's Murphy's law. But anything that can go 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:13.720 wrong will go wrong the other night. So it started out, 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.040 let's go back in the way back machine. A few 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.720 days ago and I was getting ready for the show. 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:24.240 And I have a routine that I do. I normally 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:28.720 lay down on the sofa, I have the TV on, 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:30.080 watching some games or whatever. 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:36.280 I've got my dog, Moxie. I'm a bulldog who lays. 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.080 On the lays on the feet. And then I'm getting 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.240 ready for the show. And so when I do the 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:46.040 show from the remote studio, it involves you know, I 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:47.920 don't have to hurry up and rush into the studio 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:49.040 or anything like that to drive in. 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.480 When it's a remote broadcast, I have a lot of 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:53.120 extra time. 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.480 I don't spend, you know, a long time in the 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.520 car driving in from the north Woods, and saves me time. 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.560 And so so I'm getting ready for show and. 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:04.480 Futs to around there putting everything together. And there's a 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:06.320 term we use put the baby to bed. So I've 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.960 got the notes done and I do these monologues, and 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.560 I have bullet points and things that I won't want 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.719 to hit on during the mall are monologues that we do. 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.840 And I have a lot of commercials. That's the most 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.040 important part. I've been told the commercials are the most 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.919 important part. You've got to get the commercials in. 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:24.800 So there's a lot. 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:26.879 We have a lot more as I think it was 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.560 Reggie complained last week, was it last week or two 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.080 out of complained about the commercial But we we have 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:35.600 a lot, and so you have to keep track. There's 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.160 a lot of live reads, and so I have to 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.600 make sure everything's where it needs to go. And so 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:41.960 so I'm getting ready for the show. 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:42.119 And and. 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.080 I got everything done, ready ready for the show, and 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.480 I'm just kind of hanging out and then I walk, 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.560 I get up, throw a little water on my face, 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:56.920 so I'm somewhat awake, and then make the trip up 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.760 to and then down the hall and then around the corner, 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:01.879 and then I get to the remote studio. Got to 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:03.800 turn everything on, make sure everything's good on that. So 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.720 I go in there and then I settle in. I 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.479 got to turn all these lights on because we're on 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.200 the YouTube now, So I got to turn all the 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:14.720 lights on, turn everything on, and we are about at 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.960 this point by the time, I just kind of settle 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:24.119 in for maybe ninety seconds from on airtime to start talking. 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:25.600 So I got about ninety seconds. 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.800 All right, this sounds like firing up the Starship Enterprise. 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:30.960 Oh, very similar, very similar to Dani. I'm glad you 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.760 brought that up. So I then I'm sitting down. I'm 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:35.679 settling in. I've got the lights on, I turned the 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.920 camera on, I got everything ready to go. Lights, camera, 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:38.760 and it's about. 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:39.000 To be action. 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:44.879 So the way this works, I have my laptop that 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.439 I use everything I do my prep with, and then 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.840 when I do the remote show everything from the laptop 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:52.679 through the magic. 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:54.840 I don't even know how this works. It really is magic. 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:56.400 It's sorcery. 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.920 So everything from the laptop transfers to the studio computer 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.600 that I use in the remote studio. So I don't 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:05.040 need my laptop. I don't even bring my laptop with me. 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.840 Everything's the same thing is on that computer. It say 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.600 it's a mirror of what I was using, So I 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:13.960 don't even worry about I don't need to finagle with it. 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.800 I'm good to go. So I get in there, and 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:18.680 I said, I think you can imagine where this is going. 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.280 So I click on the file that has my bullet 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:23.720 points for the malad monologue. I click on the file 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:25.600 that has the commercial that I have to do at 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.439 the top of the hour, the copy, and. 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:35.640 Nothing, no nothing. 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:42.000 When I say nothing, I mean blankety mcblank, I am 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:49.160 saying absolutely nothing. And I'm getting I'm hearing the recorded 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.119 update because we don't you know, we don't have a 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:52.440 budget for live update people. 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:56.480 So I hear a recorded update and I know what's coming. 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:58.200 You know, I'm gonna have to start the yapp and 0:19:58.240 --> 0:19:59.680 away And I'm like, well, I don't, I. 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:03.600 Mean, boy, and boom goes the dynamite. Yeah, pretty much. 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.280 So I'm like, all right, I've been doing this a 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:08.560 long time. We'll just let it rip, and you know, 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:09.120 what the hell? 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.440 And so I did not have I had no bullets, 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:15.240 but unshaken, unseen. 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.680 Nobody noticed, not one person. 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:22.600 Not Alf Wow Miner, not ferg Dog, not Tony in 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:26.480 the Bay area, not Nick in Wisconsin, none of these guys. 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:28.320 Nobody noticed that. 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.720 And then, to make matters even better, Danny, So I'm 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:33.000 then I'm doing everything. 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:34.000 I'm doing the monologue. 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:35.919
