He 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse the Clearinghouse of Hot 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: takes break free for something special.

The grind. We are in the audio 12 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: salt mind, Danny G. That's what we are right now. 13 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: We're in a haze.

I don't know if it's Saturday. It's It's 16 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: been crazy this time of the year, has it not? 17 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: It really has been. And I have a long weekend 18 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: ahead of me with podcasting and the live shows at 19 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: the FSR studios. But you know, you had a long, 20 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: long work week when that seems like a minimum day 21 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: and you're looking forward to that schedule. Yeah, and I 22 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: don't know what it is. Maybe it's July, the holiday, 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: July four and all that. But it's just been one 24 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: thing after another. I've had meetings, I've had to deal 25 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: with some some bull pucky as Jay Scoop, our buddy 26 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: in Seattle likes to say, and uh, it's like one 27 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: thing after another, what do you want from me? A 28 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: lot a lot of villain shifts. Man. This is the 29 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: time of the year where a lot of talking heads 30 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: take time off, not us, but other talking heads. Yeah. Yeah, 31 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: well I'm neurotic. If I wasn't neurotic, I would take 32 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: a lot of time off. But I I've told the 33 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: story before, but when I was at the mighty six 34 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: ninety as an intern, and every time it felt like, 35 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure I wasn't right on this. It just felt 36 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: like this when you're a young guy, and it felt 37 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: like every time somebody took an extended vacation, they never 38 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: came back from vacation. They just get fired. And so 39 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: I was programmed, like Pavlov dogs, you shouldn't take any 40 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: time off. And I do believe that in what we do, Nanny, 41 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: it is repetition. It is you have to be there, 42 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: whether people listen or not. It's it's kind of like 43 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: the sofa in your living room. You might not sit 44 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: on the sofa every day, but you want to have 45 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: the opportunities on the sofa. You want to know it's there, 46 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: and so I believe in that, but you do you 47 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: don't have to balance it a little bit. Yeah, it's 48 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: you can't be all in and everything. You gotta take 49 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: occasional days off and whatnot. But these are first world 50 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: props for sure. There are a lot of sofas waiting 51 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: in line, though, to replace the sofa in your living room. Yeah, 52 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: well that is a that is a fair point. That 53 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: is a fair point. So on this podcast we have 54 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: Rubbing Shoulders, Rammed All Night, Daisy Carnival, Backscratcher, and we 55 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: may have time for some other things. But I do 56 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: not want to promise and then not deliver. My ass 57 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: feels so good right now, Rubbing Shoulders. Now, I saved 58 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: a lot of this content for the Saturday podcast Danny 59 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: The Life of Mallard and Danny g Podcast. So let 60 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: me get right into it. Don't bury the lead, my man. Uh, 61 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: some details of last week. What a great weekend that 62 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: was one of my favorite weeks. We had Joey Chestnut, 63 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: and I remember telling you, Danny's I gotta get Joey Chestnut. 64 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: We gotta get this guy on the podcast. I want 65 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: to talk to. Joey Chestnut is one of my favorite athletes, 66 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: and you were able to track him down and book him. 67 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: Good job by you, and and Joy was wonderful. And 68 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: that got a lot of attraction. So that was always good. 69 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: I just whether anybody liked it or not, I wanted 70 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: to talk to me. That was one of those podcasts. 71 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: I don't care if anyone enjoyed it or not. I 72 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: just wanted to talk to Joey Chestern and so it 73 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: was cool to talk to him. And I feel like 74 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: we're best friends now. I feel like we bonded. Me 75 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: and Joey Chester. We're both introverts. Back in my younger days, 76 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: I used to eat a lot like Joey chest Not 77 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: not so much anymore. Like you can both eat at 78 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: least five chicken tenders. Yes, I can eat a Kenya combo, 79 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: which is six pieces of chicken fries and a piece 80 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: of bread, no extra fries, no coaslaw at raising Kanes. 81 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: That's what I get. He eats fifty, you eat five 82 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: or six, But yeah, lots of downloads, Thank you for that. 83 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: And then the event, I wish they hadn't cut out 84 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: the part where he's suplexed the protester on the actual 85 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: broadcast that me and Tender only watched Ben they cut 86 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: it out. Yeah, that's not right censorship, And there was 87 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: something I've seen about that at all. And I think 88 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: the biggest mistake the protester made was he used a 89 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: cheap Darth Vader mask. What's up with that? He's one 90 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: of those with a plastic string on the back. Go 91 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: out and spend some money. You can get a really 92 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: nice Darth Vader mask if you want. They're expensive, but 93 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: you can go all in on that and knock yourself out. 94 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: But Joy made us proud. A lot of these trolls, Danny, 95 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: a lot of these morons see like to bust my 96 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: balls and the Malley Militia.

How many times do 101 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: I have to say there's no curse to the Rams 102 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: are the reigning Super Bowl champs, Dodgers won the hardest 103 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: World Series of all time, Clippers were in the final four. 104 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: It's all that's old news. You're doing old material. If 105 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: you say there's a curse of the ben Bino, so 106 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: put a sock in it. Okay, I will admit that 107 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: this time there was no curse because not only was 108 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: he able to still get to sixty three body slammed 109 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: the protester and then kept going with one arm eating 110 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: a dog and bun, and then the other puts that 111 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: he's like a superhero, puts the guy in a chokehold. 112 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: This is what Batman would do. This is what Superman 113 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: or spider Man would and it's chowey chest that a 114 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: guy that he eats wieners for a living. That's that's 115 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: what he's doing. Uh, just just outstanding. There were lots 116 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: of arguments come Tuesday morning all across the country on 117 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: whether or not it's a sport. We've already determined it's 118 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: a sport. You're testing the body, the limits of the body, 119 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: and not everyone can do it. It takes practice. Chestnuts 120 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: spends months to get ready for this thing. There's danger. 121 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: You could die if you choke on a hot dog. 122 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: You've got limits. It's he's like a daredevil. He's a 123 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: modern day evil Kinevil, Joey Chestnut and uh and so 124 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: it was. It was. It was cool to watch all that. 125 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: But even before that, before that, The Life of Mallard 126 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: m a p one friend of the show. I got 127 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: a text last week. Hey, it's it's Lawrence, better known 128 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: by his superhero name Marlin's Man. He says, Hey, I'm 129 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: heading to Los Angeles for the Dodgers and the Padres. 130 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: It's a big series. I would love to have you 131 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: as my guest. At this point, it's my wife's birthday weekend. 132 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: We had talked about this, Danny, So I had made 133 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: plans with my wife and more on that in a minute. 134 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: Wait till you hear how that went. You talk about romance. 135 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: Oh boy, So I said, maybe Saturday. I got plans 136 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: on Friday, but maybe Saturday I can get her to 137 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: agree to it. And he's, okay, let me know. And 138 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: so then I asked her and she was kind of like, 139 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: you know, are these good seats? I said, these are 140 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: You'll never sit in these seats. These are the greatest 141 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: seats of all time. Uh, you can't get better. See 142 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: the only better scene is if you're in the dugout. 143 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: Okay that the seats are amazing. And so she said, okay, 144 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: all right, you know, and she she didn't want to 145 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: meet Marlin's man. I had told her some stories of 146 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: the past, so she agreed to it. So then I 147 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: text Marlin's Man back. I said, I can't do Friday, 148 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: but I can do. I decide. I told you I 149 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: can do, said it. So he's okay, no problem. So 150 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: we we agreed. The game was like a four o'clock 151 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: star at l A time, Dodgers Padres big game.

I 158 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: can't send you the tickets. The app crashed. I said, 159 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? The app? Right?

And this one guys 167 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: at a barbecue in New York, one of the big 168 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: shots who runs the ticketing for Major League Baseball, and 169 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: he's on the phone with Marlin's Man, and they're figuring 170 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: out a solution. And so finally Lawrence sends me a 171 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: Texas says, no, I got it worked out. I'm gonna 172 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: send you the tickets, And so I knew they would 173 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: be good seats because I've been to a few games 174 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: with Marlin's Man, Danny, But these were primo seats. These 175 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: are unreal. It was the third row right behind the 176 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: catcher's dairy air and the umpire right there, third directly 177 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: behind the catcher and right in the line of fire 178 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: from the center field camera, right right there. Yeah, your 179 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: face was next to the Fox logo. You know, it's 180 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: your dick this And I'm like, oh no, and so well, 181 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: I was okay, I was like, I think we'll be 182 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: on TV. So I wasn't sure. You don't know for 183 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: sure because you're not like where exactly the cameras pointed, 184 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: but I'll probably on the TV. My wife I don't 185 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: want to be at So I made a deal with it. 186 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 1: I said, Okay, I'm not gonna tweet out anything. I'm 187 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: not gonna promote it on social media that I'm right 188 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: behind and play. I'll send something out after the game, 189 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna send anything out during the game. 190 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: Because she was a little uncomfortable with that, I said, okay, 191 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: so I didn't. I didn't sendything out to you know. 192 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: During the game was going on. I text a few people, 193 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: I say, you're not gonna believe this whatever I'm here, 194 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. And so then in the 195 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: I think it was the bottom of the or in 196 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: between the top and the bottom of the first inning, 197 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: Marlin's man sending me screenshots, Hey You're on TV. But 198 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: even before that, we I mean, the whole experience down there, 199 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 1: it's it's it's how the one percenters live. I don't 200 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: get to live that life. Nanny I'm I'm on an 201 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: overnight radio budget. I can't afford to live that life. 202 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: These these tickets are like six eight dollars. It's it's unbelievable. 203 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: But a very nice time there. It was great. First 204 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: classes were all the Hollywood muckety MUCKs and the big 205 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: the big shots all hang out, the big cahunas hang 206 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: out in the they called the Yama Va dugout club. 207 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: Your own waiter and waitress. Yeah, it's wild, and I 208 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: was a little uncomfortable how I felt like I had 209 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: Alfred the Butler looking after me and like in the 210 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: bat cave or something like that. But uh yeah, big shots, 211 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: a lot of mogs, movers and shakers and entertainment there. 212 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: They all schmooze. They're all hanging out there, and the 213 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: uppercross the big Hollywood deals get done rubbing shoulders. I 214 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: really was rubbing shoulders with very popular people, and I 215 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: felt like a fish out of water, like I didn't. 216 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: I didn't like the pregame meal the way this works. 217 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: If you've never been to one something like this, at 218 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: least a Dodger stadium, So the pregame meal, you get there, 219 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: there's this amazing, lavish, massive club right under the stands, 220 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: and it's high end food, Prime rib, exotic omelets. They 221 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: had seafood, and it's just piled up everywhere. It's just 222 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: piled up all over the plan. Massive piles are really 223 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: high quality food, and I don't I don't really like 224 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: high quality food. Danny, you eat like a twelve year old. Yeah, 225 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: so this is completely wasted on me. My palette is 226 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: that of an eight year old. There's something like that. 227 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: So so I'm trying to find stuff that I can eat. You. 228 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: I don't really like the high end stuff. So I 229 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: ended up for my pregame meal, I had a plate 230 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: of mashed potatoes and gravy. Can't go wrong with mashed 231 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: potatoes and gravy. I had some bread that was pretty good, 232 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: and they had a chicken sausage thing that I had, 233 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: which was not bad. Head but I wanted to pace myself. 234 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: I figured a lot of time here. I want to 235 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: pace myself now. I did want to also mention I 236 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: had a very awkward moment in this dugout club while 237 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: I was getting food, and I don't go to these 238 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: games that much anymore. Most of my friends who are 239 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: in the media that I knew when I was going 240 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: every day are either retired, dead, whatever, So I don't 241 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: know too many. I feel friendly faces, I know, but 242 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: I don't go out there that much anymore because I'm 243 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: in the studio and do the show half the time 244 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: from home and all that wather. So I'm getting some 245 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: mashed potatoes and I run into somebody. I'm like, oh crap, 246 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: Oh he recognizes me and I recognize him, you know, 247 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: and it's one of those moments, like God, j T 248 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: the brick. Yeah. So I'm like, I I had this, 249 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: this come to Jesus. I gotta say hello to the guy. 250 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: I can't be an asshole, you know. I I'm not social, 251 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: but I have to be polite to the guy. This 252 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: is a very important person in so I did. I said, Hey, 253 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: how you doing? Uh? And this guy, the guy that 254 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: I ran into, was the number two guy at the 255 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: Scott Borros Agency, most powerful man in baseball, more powerful 256 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: than Rob Manford Scott Boors. And this is not Scott Boris, 257 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: this is his number two guy. He recognized me. We 258 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: made eye contact, and the guy gave me the what 259 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: the f are you doing here? Look? Not not a 260 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: mean way, And I want to say it was a 261 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: mean way, but it was one of those things like 262 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: it was. It was the kind of vibe like, hey, 263 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: you're a media guy, you're a radio guy, this is 264 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: my domain, Like what are you doing here? You know 265 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: that kind of thing, which was not wrong. I didn't 266 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: belong there, um, but we exchanged niceties. I I asked, 267 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: I know Scott Boris back in the day. I've actually 268 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: tried to get him on the podcast. He is, I 269 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: guess turned this down. But anyway, I I asked if 270 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: Scott was at the game. He told me no, Uh, 271 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: Scott was attending to a personal matter and all that. 272 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: But we had a brief conversation and he went his 273 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: way and I took my mashed potatoes in my gravy, 274 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: and I grabbed some biscuits and that was it. We 275 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: went and turning, turning the page from that. Uh so 276 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: the so the game begins. I'm going blow by blow. 277 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: This is a Brewder film coverage, Danny. Any questions feel 278 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: free to ask. So the game begins. We head out 279 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: to our seats, me and the the misses, and on 280 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: the way out they have a table filled with bags 281 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: of peanuts, popcorn, cracker Jack's. There were some other healthier snacks, 282 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: but who wants to eat those? They had two massive 283 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: coolers filled with water bottles. Help yourself as much as 284 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: you want. So I, of course immediately start grabbing cracker 285 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: Jack's and peanuts, and I'm like, oh great, this is mine. 286 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: This is my kind of food. All right, I'm gonna 287 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: go for that. So I grabbed a bunch of that. 288 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: And then they you get to your seat, eat and 289 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: they have a menu. So you've already eat your pregame. 290 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: You know, You've already got your cracker jacks, your peanuts 291 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: or popcorn and all that stuff. So now they have 292 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: a menu. So this is the next layer of food 293 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: then and the this is my kind of food. And 294 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: this is in my wheelhouse ballpark food with waiters service. 295 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: Now I can get my own food, but they don't 296 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: let you. They don't let you get your own food. 297 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: They have whatever you want. Just ask your waiter. You 298 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: have your personal waiter and and they'll get you. Uh. 299 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: I have the menu. You want to hear what's on 300 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: the menu for these? All right? So the rich people 301 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: in this dugout club at Dodger Stadium, they have the 302 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: actual menu. We have the Dodger Dog Brooklyn Dodgers. What 303 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: is a Brooklyn Dodger Doug kosher? Is it? I don't 304 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: know it? Says Brooklyn Dodger Dog. Maybe it's actually cooked 305 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: all the way through. I'm like the usual Dodger dug. 306 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: Don't I'm kidding. I'm kidding plant based Dodger dog. Who 307 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: wants to eat that plant? They had chicken tenders with fries. 308 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: Now is that not? Is that not? Got my name 309 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: all over it? They should name that item after you. Actually. Yeah. 310 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: So they have garlic fries, nachos, seasonal fruit cup. Yeah, 311 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: that's always a rip. Yeah, a seasonal veggie cup. They 312 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: have a bunch of snacks, something called clean snack. I 313 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: don't know what that is. I mentioned peanuts, popcorn and 314 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: gluten free chips, soft pretzel with cheese sauce. Hello. They 315 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: said a sort of coke products, bottled water. As we mentioned, 316 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: all of the food items complimentary as much as you want. 317 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: The only caveat last call for food top of the 318 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: seventh inning, so you had to get it all in 319 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: by the top of the seventh inning. And and then 320 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: they also had alcohol, but the alcohol was not free. 321 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: The booze was not free. The price range was if 322 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: you wanted a bud zero seven bucks for a glass 323 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: of wine, twenty four dollars for a glass of wine. Yeah, 324 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: cocktails seventeen dollars. I got it all over me. So 325 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: that's that's the food set up. And we had a 326 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: great time. And it was really weird and awkward because 327 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: I had people texting me throughout the game that I 328 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: did not tell like I told. I told a few 329 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: people that I was there, but people I had no 330 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: connection with. I had people texting me that I hadn't 331 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: talked to in years. All Right, my neighbor that used 332 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: to live near me moved to Texas. She's in Texas, okay, 333 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: watching the game on TV. I haven't talked to her 334 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: in a long time. Hey are you sitting behind don't 335 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: plate at the dodging game? I think you're sitting had 336 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: some friends in radio that that I hadn't talked to 337 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: in again a long time, and they were texting me saying, 338 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: is that you can you wave to the camp or 339 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: something stupid like that. This is where you could have 340 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: been another rolling billboard, just like moving Man, Matt. If 341 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: you had a Bed Mallard show shirt, you could have 342 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: advertised the show for hours. It's good point. Yeah, what 343 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: I should have done is got like a black shirt 344 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: with gold neon gold writing like Lenn Mallis, because that 345 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: really stands out, that catches the eye, that's the way. 346 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 1: It's the marketing opportunity there. And what I should mention 347 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: too as a Dodgers fan, what an amazing game you 348 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: got to go to. There was almost four home runs 349 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: in a row in the first inning. Yeah, it was 350 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: home run Derbis like shooting out in there. You Darvish. 351 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: I love when you dar Wish gets beaten up because 352 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: he started Game seven of the World Series against the 353 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: cheating Stros and the Dodgers had no chance in that game. Now, 354 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: the Astros were cheating and all that, but they still 355 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you, Darvish had been able to figure out 356 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: a way to get those guys out, they still would 357 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,479 Speaker 1: have been able to win World Series with other team cheating. 358 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: But unfortunately, I digress, But it was it was nice 359 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: to see and the Dodgers starting to open up a 360 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: little space between the Padres and the Giants have fallen 361 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: apart there the frauds we thought they would be this 362 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: year back to about a five team give or take. 363 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: So so that's all all good, And Marlin's Man said, 364 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: when he's back in town Hill, he'll invite me. He 365 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: knows it's tough for me to go during the week 366 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: so on the weekend when he's back in town, hopefully 367 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: we'll be able to hang out together again at Dodger Stadium. 368 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: And he bought a bunch of ticks that it was 369 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: just me, me and my wife Marlin's Man, but they 370 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,719 Speaker 1: were like five other people in our party, including a 371 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: former Miss California who was part of that. And there 372 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: were there were some first round draft picks that were 373 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: mixed in there, so first round picks all around. It's 374 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: pretty cool. What does Marlin's Man do for a living again? 375 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: Is he an attorney? Yes, marlins Man is a very 376 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: successful attorney in Miami and he's been doing that a 377 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: long time.

Now, what they do here where I live 411 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: is they clear out where people um hit balls. So 412 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: the driving range.

There thousands of people from the San Fernando 423 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: Valley and that part of Ventura County. We get a 424 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: nice spot with our blanket. You know, we're watching the 425 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: kids running around with glow sticks, and certain kids are 426 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: doing back flips. A kid next who has two kids 427 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: next to us were crying because they got lost, and 428 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: their mom was like, where have you guys been?

Yeah, 430 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: I guess the kids got separated from the parents. She yeah, 431 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: she had a glass of wine in her hand. Ben 432 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: didn't look like she gave two ships. What happened to 433 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: the kids? Let the nice officer baby sit you for 434 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: a little bit. It was great. Um. So, lots of 435 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: families out there. And now, Danny, when you see all 436 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: these kids, do you have PTSD from summer school? And 437 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: you're like, oh no, it's funny you should ask that 438 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: because I actually saw some of my students. Oh no, 439 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: but they didn't recognize me. It's almost like, you know, 440 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: a police officer out of his uniform, how many times 441 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: does he get recognized? Yeah, so I was kind of 442 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 1: incognito walking around looking at the different food trucks. I 443 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: didn't partake. We're like, you know what, we had a 444 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: big late lunch, so let's wait for after the fireworks show. 445 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: We'll go get some frozen yogurt or something like that. 446 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: So these huge lines and all these food trucks. We 447 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: were just kind of people watching. I saw one of 448 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: the greatest L A. RAMS players of all time walking 449 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: around the grounds. Who do you think it was? Our 450 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: friend Jackie Slater h Eric Dickerson, That right, I get 451 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: it right. Oh let me tell you. When I was young, 452 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: possibly I might have I might date myself, but oh man, 453 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: that guy was. I gotta tell you. There was a 454 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: baseball football card shop called Paper Chase, and me and 455 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: my older brother would go in there as often as 456 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: we could, and they had this big gumball machine where 457 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: supposedly if you kept putting your coins in, you could 458 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: get a Rookie card from Eric dick person out of 459 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: the machine. And we wanted that rookie card so bad, 460 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: the one where he's rocking the goggles. Oh yeah, with 461 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: the drip. We single handedly made them a fortune just 462 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: by how many shiny quarters we put into that. And 463 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: we've never got the Eric Dickerson Rookie card. Of course. 464 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: It was a few years old at the time, and 465 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: my older brother was like, I'm gonna get that Eric 466 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: Dickerson Rookie any time I see him on TV, hear 467 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: him on the radio, I'm like, fuck you, Paperchase. That 468 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: comes to mind. Dickerson though he had the style and 469 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: the pizzas man he was back in and he was 470 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: so smooth with the Rams gazelle with that style where 471 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: he was straight up yeah and he had I mean 472 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: he's I think he's been lost in history because people 473 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: they talk about greatest running backs of all time, they 474 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: don't often. I feel like they don't talk about Dickerson. 475 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: Barry Sanders was so electric and all, but for my money, 476 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: the Rams had terrible quarterbacks most of his time, and 477 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: he was the entire offense and if he if he 478 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: was not exceptional running the ball, they it was a 479 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: whole different world in the NFL, right Dickerson. I mean 480 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: he had to be a virtuoso every game or they 481 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: had absolute turds of corporate I was so pissed when 482 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: they traded him. It was Halloween. The Rams traded him 483 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: one year to the Indianapolis Colts, and I was so bummed. Oh, 484 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: I remember that like it was yesterday. And l A 485 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: had great running backs at the time because you had 486 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: Marcus Allen on the Raiders. See you could see Marcus 487 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: Allen and Eric Dickerson both running the ball in southern 488 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: California at that time as a little kid. Man, it 489 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: was a great memory. You're right, though, I think about 490 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: some of those runs that Dickerson would break off. It 491 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: was like he wasn't even trying half the time, almost 492 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: like he was running at half speed, and he was 493 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: still that much faster and more athletic than everybody else 494 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah, and as great as he was. 495 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: And he'd go against like the Chicago Bears, who would 496 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: shut him down and he'd be be draggled and the 497 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: Rams would lose by like thirty five points. Yeah, because 498 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: it couldn't throw the damn ball, right, You're right. He 499 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: played with the Raiders also after he lived. He did, man, 500 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: and I got to see him live in person at 501 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: the stadium when he ended his career with the Raiders. 502 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: It was still awesome to watch him run the ball 503 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: at that point of his career. So I'm watching him 504 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: walk around this event. He got a falafel from one 505 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: of the trucks and nobody bothered him, Nobody said a word, 506 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: no one stopped him, And I'm like, man, I bet 507 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: he likes it here, because you know, I also saw 508 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: a couple of aging rock stars walking around. Those are 509 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: some of the folks that live out here in this 510 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: part of California. And you know, it's just like whatever, 511 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: because you know, you see them around town, just like 512 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: how you see Reggie Miller walking around town and guys 513 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: like that, and they're just not bothered. No one bothers 514 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: them for pictures. They are in a way invisible here 515 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: in this part of Cali. So I was just kind 516 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: of watching them carry the rock in this case of 517 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: lawful and he sat back down with his family. They 518 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: weren't sitting far from us, so I'm like, oh, that's cool, 519 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: and I was watching him interact with his family, which 520 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: was nice. It's almost nine PM and that's when the 521 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: fireworks are supposedly going to start, right, So there's this 522 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: girl singing on this stage that they had put together 523 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: and we're like, yeah, yeah, come on, let's get to 524 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: the fireworks. And she's like one more song and we're like, 525 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: we don't even know who you are. She sings one 526 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: last song and then the lights go down, and you know, 527 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: when the lights go off, there's a hush and everybody's excited. 528 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: You could feel the excitement in the air for the 529 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: fireworks show. To begin. The first firework goes off and 530 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: everybody is clapping, and then this family of losers walk 531 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: right in front of all of us who are sitting 532 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: down and have been sitting down for a long time now. 533 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: I've heard some people talk about this before. Ben. When 534 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: you've got your spot at an event like that for fireworks, 535 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: one of the worst things that can happen is when 536 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: in a late arrival shows up and just stands there 537 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: blocking the view. Yeah, that's rude, beyond. So now you 538 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: got these kids in the back saying mommy, I can't 539 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: see you. Just hear lots of voices, one of them 540 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: being Eric Dickerson's voice. I hear, hey, sit down, sit 541 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: down over there, please sit down, And then he used 542 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: the word please, and I'm like, guy, he's a nice guy. Okay, 543 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: Well they wouldn't cooperate, Ben, They did not sit down, 544 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: And now it's starting to piss everybody off. Good because 545 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: you can only see the very high fireworks at this point. 546 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: So again you hear a voice is in the back 547 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: asking them to sit down. It took a very piste 548 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: off TENDERRONI Bend to change the future of these people's 549 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: firework viewing. Pleasures. Oh you're TENDERRONI stepped up here. She 550 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: want pitbullfrf in her very best you little brats, let's 551 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: clean the house voice. She shouts, would you please sit down? 552 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: You're being rude? And this family that we were standing 553 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: there turn around look at her. I'm not sure what 554 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: face she was making. She must have been mad dogging too. 555 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: She was behind me. But they sit down, Ben and 556 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: everybody applaud including one of the greatest running backs of 557 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: all time, Eric Dickerson. Look at that. That's outstanding. You're 558 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: you're your TENDERRONI Wow, that's great. So she had to 559 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: be a little despotic. I guess would be the term abrasive. 560 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: When she needs to raise her voice, she can raise 561 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: her voice. She did use the word please, but then 562 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: she also followed it up by telling them they were 563 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: being rude. That's the voice that they needed to hear 564 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: in order to sit down. For everybody, I love it. 565 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: That's great. Somebody had to step up. But that's see. 566 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: That is a little dangerous though at the same time, 567 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: because you don't know how the people are gonna react. 568 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: Right if you come out there with this uh, relentless 569 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: approach and you don't know if they're gonna be like, 570 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: wait a minute, who are you and anything? You want 571 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: to get the crank things up. So I knew if 572 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: there was any trouble, me and Eric Dickerson would just 573 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: go over there and throw some elbows. You'd block. You'd 574 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: be the lead blocker. Dickerson would come in there, throw 575 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: the elbow down. That'd be the playbook. I would be 576 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: his fullback. That's cool. It was a good show. So 577 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,959 Speaker 1: it was a good show. After that, I like it 578 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: all right. So the Daisy Carnival. So my wife's birthday 579 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: was last week. I mentioned Marlin's Man. We hung out 580 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: on Saturday, and so she normally, my wife normally plans 581 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: everything that we do on the weekends and I just 582 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: kind of go along with the flow whatever I'm there. 583 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: But her request was for me to plan a getaway. 584 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: You said you would hold the info until this weekend. Yeah, 585 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: oh wait till you hear this. This is another another 586 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: wonderful tale. So uh, it's one of the planned a 587 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: little getaway, and I did what she wanted. I spent 588 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: some time on I thought, why don't we go on 589 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: a nice trip up to California because we love going 590 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: to Central California. So I had this whole, this whole 591 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: stump speech stop thing, whistle stop train thing where we're 592 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: gonna go to Santa Barbara Solving, which is about an 593 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: hour north of Santa Barbara, and then up to Central California, 594 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: San Luis Obispo, which is I like going up that way. 595 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: There's not a lot of people, it's it's pretty cool. 596 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: So I decided to play the hits and some really 597 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: cool places that I knew we had been to she liked. 598 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: So I planned all this stuff out. We pack up 599 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: the malamobile with all kinds of snacks. I had to 600 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: Costco for gas us and it's on like donkey kom. 601 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: And the thing that I did not plan for was 602 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: the getaway day traffic. Oh no, the Friday before Independence 603 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: Day weekend, it was traffic eddon. It was armageddon on 604 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: the highways, there was disaster. So I had this whole 605 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: itinerary planned out. Everything was roughly planned time wise, and 606 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: all this stuff. We would get to this city by 607 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: this time, blah blah blah blah blah. So I used 608 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: the traffic app and to try to dodge most of 609 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: the grid lack. Normally that usually works, but this time 610 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: no such luck. So we had been in the malamobile 611 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: for two hours. Two hours. Okay, we are only at 612 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: the Screwball and the Getty Center on the four oh five, 613 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: you know that. But if you're not from l A, 614 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: that's you know, it's still l A proper. You're not 615 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: even the San Fernando Alley and that's one of the 616 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: famous traffic slowdowns. So now I'm coming down the hill 617 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: from where the Getty Center is on the four oh 618 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: five to get on the one oh one to cruise 619 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: up towards Santa Barbara into the San Fernando Valley. And 620 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,919 Speaker 1: two hours into this and the next thing I know, 621 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: I'm getting a preview of of what's coming up on 622 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: the fourth July. A pyrotechnic spectacular. M all right, and 623 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerating here for the podcast. Every bleeping check 624 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: engine light started flashing, every warning starts flashing on the 625 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: mallonmobile and boom goes to dynamite. It was like Danny 626 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: the Electric Daisy Carnival Show in Vegas on the dashboard 627 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: and I get no inem belishment, no exaggeration, literally and figuratively, 628 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: every error message that they had put into the car 629 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: starts flashing, right, you losing power, losing power, all this stuff. Uh, 630 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: And sure enough the car was losing power. Is this 631 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: the same catalytic converter car. Yes? Yes, And I was 632 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: demanding whether to take it. We decided to take it. 633 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: So we get off the three. This is this is 634 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: you talking about irony of life. So I'm cruising in 635 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: traffic down the hill on the four oh five from 636 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: the Getty Center and we end up getting off at 637 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: the Pulvita, which happens to be the off ramp for 638 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: the Fox Sports radio studios, the Premier Networks. So I 639 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: remembered there was a hole obviously, I've been there for 640 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: so many years. Theres a Whole Foods market right across 641 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: the street from where we were, so it's right off 642 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: the off ramp. So I cruise off. I'm worried the 643 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 1: car is gonna die on the off ramp, and fortunately 644 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: I made it into the Whole Foods parking lot. I 645 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: was able to stop. We get on the phone with 646 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: Auto Clone and they're like, oh, I, we'll get a 647 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: truck over there. So Sam, the tow truck driver shows up. 648 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,360 Speaker 1: We're trying to get a rental, but it's a holiday weekend. 649 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: Can't get a rental unless you want to pay a 650 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: ridiculous amount of money. So that what are we gonna do. 651 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: We're stuck. You know, what are we gonna do? We're 652 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: not rental blah blah blah blah blah. So then we're 653 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: gonna get an uber or a lift. But there was 654 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: searge prices. Oh the traffic, so it would have been 655 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, two hundred bucks or something like that 656 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,240 Speaker 1: to get back home. So fortunately Sam, the tow truck man, 657 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: he felt pity on us and let us ride in 658 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: the in the front of his toe truck back to 659 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: the north Woods. So that took another over two hours 660 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: to get back. We had to take it to the 661 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: toe shop or the you know, the repair shop. Birthday 662 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: was going good. Oh yeah, this is very romantic. So 663 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: it's roughly five hours in traffic before we get back home. Yeah, 664 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 1: Rico swab. And because of the holiday weekend, the car 665 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: was sitting until Tuesday to get diagnosed. Mm hmm. It 666 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: gets even better. So we take it. You know, they say, okay, 667 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna test drive and figure out what the problem is. 668 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: We think we know what the problem is, and then 669 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: they they're like, well, we we can't get the car 670 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: error to repeat. We we set the all the error 671 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: messages and now the car is driving fine. But we're 672 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: gonna keep it. We'll drive it for a few more days. 673 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 1: On Thursday, they say, we can't fit, we can't find 674 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: a problem. You can pick the car up. So we 675 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: have the car now. But they didn't fix anything, and 676 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: we don't know, you know, we don't know at any moments, 677 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: like a taking time bomb, it's gonna happen again, you know, 678 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: it's inevitably gonna happen again. They didn't fix anything. And 679 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: but so so the Friday night, since I had planned 680 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 1: all these exotic locations, we just ended up going to 681 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: a very very expensive Mexican restaurant, Danny, that I would 682 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 1: not would not have ever gone to, have adopted my 683 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: wife's but then she she wanted to go there, so 684 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: over priced Mexican food. My idea of good Mexican food 685 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: is cheap and big portions. That's that's my thing. This 686 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: was small portions, expensive good. But now what happened with 687 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: the hotel? Did you already have something booked up north? Well, no, 688 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,760 Speaker 1: that's the other problem. So the place I wanted to stay. 689 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: They did not have any vacancies, but it was one 690 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 1: of those things. The plan was there might be a cancelation, 691 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: so we'll be fine on That saved you because imagine 692 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: if you had a nonrefundable hotel waiting for you up there. 693 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that would have been you would have been 694 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 1: extra wanting to drive that car off a cliff. I 695 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 1: would have driven the car even with all the warning labels, 696 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: all the way up to wherever. All right, we gotta 697 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: get out of here on backscratcher, Danny, So we'd have 698 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: a lot of time for this. But if you scratch 699 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: our back world, scratch you.
