Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere you have stumbled on. Well that's
Speaker 1: not true. Nobody stumbles onto a podcast. You have discovered
Speaker 1: and downloaded and are now listening to The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Mahler and Danny G. Available wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcast. The Great Danny G Radio hanging out with
Speaker 1: me all weekend long and you as we schmooze around here,
Speaker 1: and we thank you for subscribing and listening. I understand
Speaker 1: the Omar Viscull interview from last week did pretty well.
Speaker 1: People seem to enjoy hearing from the old Cleveland Indian
Speaker 1: short stuff from back in the day. As we continue
Speaker 1: our mission to get as a big and eclectic group
Speaker 1: of random baseball players, we've had as I mentioned, I
Speaker 1: think it was last Saturday we had Tommy John, not
Speaker 1: the Operation, the human being, Lenny Dykstra. We've now had
Speaker 1: Omarvis Scale, just different generations of I think we've covered this.
Speaker 1: Tommy John played in the sixties and the seventies, and
Speaker 1: then Lenny Dykstra into the eighties and the nineties, and
Speaker 1: then Omarvis scale from the nineties through the first decade
Speaker 1: of the two thousands. The oats.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You know what I loved about hearing him too, was
Speaker 4: he on a like a headset microphone booming through the.
Speaker 1: Speakers, loud and proud.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's great.
Speaker 1: And you always worry about that, right because you're like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: the only thing we have is audio. We don't have
Speaker 1: picktures here. We got to get good audio right as
Speaker 1: you don't know. And we've had people on that you've
Speaker 1: had to crank up and edit and their voice up
Speaker 1: so you can actually hear them.
Speaker 4: Nice job, omar Man made my post production job a
Speaker 4: little easier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I hope believe we'll have some other random
Speaker 1: baseball players on down the line. But on this podcast,
Speaker 1: we've got Irving Berlin. Bags of ice. There she blows
Speaker 1: backscratcher and if we have time, we'll do pop gos
Speaker 1: to the culture. If not, that will be bumped till tomorrow.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of content, all right. So this being Saturday,
Speaker 1: The Life of Malor and Danny g and I am
Speaker 1: still in the injury tent. Danny, I have an update.
Speaker 1: I talked about this on the podcast recently that I
Speaker 1: stabbed myself with a katana, which is a Samurai sword,
Speaker 1: and I am still covering from said stab wound. And
Speaker 1: so I had a mellow weekend. The highlight I got
Speaker 1: to the beach and all that, but I couldn't do anything.
Speaker 1: I could go in the water, I could up my
Speaker 1: feet in the water because I can't get sand on
Speaker 1: the thing. So it was pin of the ass. But
Speaker 1: I did have a power lunch. Now, I don't do
Speaker 1: power lunches, Danny. I do it late night shows, you know,
Speaker 1: and when you do the overnight show, you don't normally
Speaker 1: get up early to go even lunch is like yeah,
Speaker 1: and I don't eat that much and it's a big thing.
Speaker 1: So but I did a power lunch. A friend of mine,
Speaker 1: I've talked about him in the past on the show,
Speaker 1: that he works for the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Pirates
Speaker 1: who just played the Dodgers not that long ago, a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. They were right back in the
Speaker 1: LA area playing the Angels, and so my friend Robbie
Speaker 1: was in town. Robbie in Spokowski is his name. He
Speaker 1: is the Yinsers in game reporter. So we watch a
Speaker 1: Pirates game you live in Pittsburgh or get access to
Speaker 1: Pirates baseball. He's the guy that does the pregame interview,
Speaker 1: the in game you know, goofy stuff with fans, that
Speaker 1: kind of.
Speaker 3: Stuff, and their version of David Yeah.
Speaker 1: Kind of well you know Tvassa does that on TV too,
Speaker 1: So yeah, So the Pirates were in town playing the Angels,
Speaker 1: and I had an Irving Berlin special because the legendary
Speaker 1: musician before my time, Irving Berlin, by the way, putting
Speaker 1: on the rits. So I went out to lunch. Pirates
Speaker 1: had an off day. They flew in after a day game.
Speaker 1: I think they were playing Cleveland and they flew in.
Speaker 1: They had a day off in so cal So Robbie's like,
Speaker 1: why why don't you know go out to lunch And
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I shure, no problem, I'll pick
Speaker 1: you up from the hotel. He said, sure, that'd be great.
Speaker 1: And the Pirates, I can't say it. They're not there anymore.
Speaker 1: They went back to Pittsburgh or whatever. So and they
Speaker 1: asked you what the San Diego after they were in Anaheim,
Speaker 1: but they stayed at the Ritz Carlton, that Riz Carlton
Speaker 1: in Dana Point, Yeah, which is halfway to San Diego
Speaker 1: from La Dana Point. And they were doing their thing
Speaker 1: and all that, And so I went to pick up
Speaker 1: Robbie at the Rich Carlton. I had actually been there
Speaker 1: one other time, Danny, I snuck into the NFL Owners
Speaker 1: meetings and that was that was the famous story years ago,
Speaker 1: and so not great security at the NFL Owners meetings
Speaker 1: about I don't remember year that was. It was probably
Speaker 1: about fifteen years ago. I saw back there at just stunning.
Speaker 1: And I can confirm Danny that the Pittsburgh Pirates traveling
Speaker 1: party is living their best life. And Robbie told me
Speaker 1: they don't normally stay at that hotel, but it was
Speaker 1: a family trip, so they brought the wives, the girlfriends,
Speaker 1: the kids were able to travel, some of them with
Speaker 1: the team. And so this hotel is beautifulhich is right
Speaker 1: on the Pacific, the Mighty Pacific, right behind hotel golf
Speaker 1: courses down there. It's just amazing, and I picked Robby up.
Speaker 1: We had a power lunch at a very expensive Mexican
Speaker 1: restaurant with a bunch of people that looked famous, but
Speaker 1: I don't know who famous people are, Danny. So there
Speaker 1: was this one guy in particular who was a little
Speaker 1: older than us, but he was covered in he had
Speaker 1: like an arm tattoos. He looked like a rock and
Speaker 1: roll guy. And even Robbie's like, I think that guy's
Speaker 1: are I think I recognize him, but I'm not sure
Speaker 1: who he is either, So we're not sure who it is,
Speaker 1: but we and this guy, he just kind of oozed
Speaker 1: that arrogant, confident music success.
Speaker 4: Probably like a famous guitarist from an eighties rock band.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like he had his kids there and they were
Speaker 1: hanging out and his trophy girlfriend was with him doing
Speaker 1: their thing and all that. But it was it was
Speaker 1: great to see Robbie. It was very nice. I'm glad
Speaker 1: he reached out to me. He's a fan of the show.
Speaker 1: I actually met Robbie through this show and we were
Speaker 1: trading war stories, which you know, I love that day.
Speaker 1: I can't get enough of that. Every once in a while,
Speaker 1: I get one of these things, and I love hearing
Speaker 1: the stories and I like to share some of the
Speaker 1: stories I've had in my career in the business. And
Speaker 1: Robbie has worked all over the place. He worked for
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Coyotes there were then I think the Arizona
Speaker 1: Coyotes back in the day. And he also has done
Speaker 1: stuff in Minnesota with the Twins and the Timberwolves, and
Speaker 1: now for many years he's been with the Pittsburgh Pirates
Speaker 1: and so life in that television world. And he also
Speaker 1: is interested in getting a radio He's actually done some stuff.
Speaker 1: I talked about this as well. But Robbie we talked
Speaker 1: about the radio business and he wants to do a
Speaker 1: talk radio show and he likes the way that I
Speaker 1: do the show. So we were talking about that and
Speaker 1: different different techniques that we do a lot of it's preparing.
Speaker 1: That's mostly what it is. Preparation is the key. So
Speaker 1: that was my power lunch, which was kind of cool.
Speaker 1: It was kind of cool and it was fun, and
Speaker 1: so it's it's.
Speaker 3: How much where you're inas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were pressing. I just got the takeos because
Speaker 1: I'm a child, So I ordered the taketos off the
Speaker 1: appetizer menu. But yeah, the actual real meals at this
Speaker 1: Mexican restaurant, which was literally on the Pacific Ocean. Like
Speaker 1: you look out you see the waves of the ocean.
Speaker 1: Insanely expensive and I just drank water, so I did
Speaker 1: not have any.
Speaker 4: You know, I've been to that spot a couple of times,
Speaker 4: right there in Dana Point. It's always for a major
Speaker 4: event like my girl's birthday, obviously, because the night there
Speaker 4: at the Ritz as expensive as you can imagine. Last
Speaker 4: year for her birthday, I saved up a little bit
Speaker 4: of money, booked a night there. I lucked out big time.
Speaker 4: So we're celebrating her birthday. We turn the lights out,
Speaker 4: go to bed after some you know, Bible study, Dan,
Speaker 4: we get woken up. The people in the room next
Speaker 4: to us are having a full on karaoke party.
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna say something else. I thought orgy,
Speaker 1: but I did not have karaoke on my Bingo card
Speaker 1: for that.
Speaker 3: But okay, oh man, Ben.
Speaker 4: They were singing like I heard a dire straight song
Speaker 4: money for Nothing in your Chicks for Free, And this
Speaker 4: guy was screaming the song at the top of his lungs,
Speaker 4: So my girl calls the front desk. They're not used
Speaker 4: to things like this at the RITZ, so they are
Speaker 4: falling all over themselves apologizing. They're like, we'll take care
Speaker 4: of it. We'll take care of it. This party went
Speaker 4: on for a good hour. Okay, it sounded like a
Speaker 4: great party too. We kind of wished we were there.
Speaker 1: A bunch of hookers and cocaine.
Speaker 3: But by the time it was all said and done,
Speaker 3: they wound up apologizing by putting a whole bunch of
Speaker 3: points onto our card. Oh nice enough to wear. We
Speaker 3: use those points for our honeymoon when we got marri.
Speaker 1: Oh that's sweet.
Speaker 4: So yeah, well that exact daing a point hotel you're
Speaker 4: talking about is the reason I'm married right now.
Speaker 3: Screw them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's nice, outstanding.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I love them.
Speaker 1: You you actually triggered a thought in my head here
Speaker 1: from hotel experiences and and then combining with the rock
Speaker 1: and roll guy. I remember the video I think we
Speaker 1: talked about on the show of it was a very
Speaker 1: famous musician. I don't know if it was Eddie Van
Speaker 1: Halen or David Lee Roth, one of those type of
Speaker 1: guys that was walking in a in a hotel and
Speaker 1: it was in I think it was in Vegas and
Speaker 1: they heard it was they were filming a reality show.
Speaker 3: Oh Lee Roth, David Lee Roth.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you know what, I do you remember that
Speaker 1: or they they were they were playing the one of
Speaker 1: his songs and some I thought it would kind of
Speaker 1: cool to knock on the door and the person as
Speaker 1: there had no fucking idea who he was. You know.
Speaker 3: It was just an embarrassing, awkward moment.
Speaker 1: But wonderful at the same time. Yeh, but but wonderful
Speaker 1: at the same time, just so good. And I don't
Speaker 1: know how long ago that was, but I just google it.
Speaker 1: Just David, I.
Speaker 3: Had no good memory by you. That was David Lee Roth,
Speaker 3: the original lead singer to Van Halen.
Speaker 1: There you go, and he probably needed bags of ice
Speaker 1: when he got done, right. He just needed the bags
Speaker 1: of ice.
Speaker 4: Right there for his knees, probably because the way he
Speaker 4: used to bounce up and down all over the concert stage.
Speaker 4: Famous for his showmanship. I have some dark circles around
Speaker 4: my eyes. I normally wear sunglasses a lot because when
Speaker 4: I take them off, I resemble a raccoon because of
Speaker 4: my sleeping pattern or my lack of sleeping pattern. But
Speaker 4: I'm gonna look extra horrible on this Saturday because last night,
Speaker 4: thousands of people in my neighborhood lost their power. At
Speaker 4: twelve thirty pm. We woke up because the AC shut off,
Speaker 4: All the powers shut off, and it's that feeling of
Speaker 4: is this just our place?
Speaker 3: So what do you do? You have to walk outside? Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, first move.
Speaker 4: So I walk out and I see my neighbors all
Speaker 4: doing the same thing too, doing that neighborhood check, like,
Speaker 4: oh shit, is this our power?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Everybody.
Speaker 4: So I'm out there, I see everybody walking around in
Speaker 4: their pj's. It's the whole neighborhood. Everybody's dark. And it
Speaker 4: was still ninety two degrees outside. We've had a heat
Speaker 4: wave here in southern California. And when it's ninety two
Speaker 4: and your AC cuts off, your place turns into it
Speaker 4: What were those little ovens when we were kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I don't remember
Speaker 1: the name of them, but yeah, a little small Yeah,
Speaker 1: it turns.
Speaker 3: Into one of those easy bit easy bake ovens.
Speaker 1: Bake there you go.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So told my wife, I'm like, well, I'm gonna have
Speaker 4: to open the slider here because even though it's hot outside,
Speaker 4: we need some sort of air circulating.
Speaker 3: And where do you stand on this?
Speaker 4: She told me that I was letting all the cool
Speaker 4: air escape.
Speaker 1: Well, had it already gotten hot or was it still
Speaker 1: kind of cool? If it was still kind of cool,
Speaker 1: I got a side with the was was your bride there? Was?
Speaker 1: She also like, was she hot? Also? Because like like
Speaker 1: women seem to not get as like I'm always warm too,
Speaker 1: Like I always feel like it's too hot, But I
Speaker 1: think women generally takes them a little while before they
Speaker 1: get to that point.
Speaker 4: And normally with her, you are correct. But because she's
Speaker 4: got a little oven baking of her.
Speaker 1: Own, Oh that's true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, she needs to have a fan on her
Speaker 4: right now at all times. I was just trying to
Speaker 4: think ahead. I'm like, well, let me at least get
Speaker 4: a little bit of air circulating in here. But she disagreed,
Speaker 4: to the point where she got up, grabbed her pillows,
Speaker 4: and walked downstairs.
Speaker 1: Flats. Oh, she's so upset with you. She left.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, man, I'm like, I'm not going to be
Speaker 4: able to sleep and wake up for the podcast. What
Speaker 4: the hell am I gonna do? How am I going
Speaker 4: to go back to sleep. I'm thinking, hopefully this is
Speaker 4: just like a twenty minute thing. Thirty minutes, the power
Speaker 4: will come back on in a half hour and AC
Speaker 4: will pop back on. Nope, go to the freezer, grab
Speaker 4: some zip block bags, and here's my move. I'm like, well,
Speaker 4: let me throw an ice in three ziplock bags. And
Speaker 4: then I wandered back upstairs and I strategically placed one
Speaker 4: on the top of my head, one on my chest,
Speaker 4: and then like one on my like towards my knees.
Speaker 4: So let me see if I can fall asleep. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it wound up working, not right away. I do fall asleep,
Speaker 4: but then I woke up ben in a frozen state.
Speaker 4: Because I wake up like an hour later and the
Speaker 4: bag of ice, I guess you know, from the ice melting,
Speaker 4: It slid down and I woke up with frozen balls.
Speaker 1: Oh no, icy nuts.
Speaker 4: Ice ice baby yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So oh boy.
Speaker 5: Now I'm like, what the man, I'm still but you
Speaker 5: didn't You didn't wake up initially when that happened, right,
Speaker 5: That didn't Wait, it had been there for a little
Speaker 5: while before you realize the problem is that.
Speaker 3: Defrost a little bit tm. I oh boy, but it's
Speaker 3: that situation where you have the next wet and I
Speaker 3: don't know about you, but I can't sleep when you
Speaker 3: get that. It's the worst feeling ever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's bad, and I deal with that. This time
Speaker 1: of the year is the worst time to do the
Speaker 1: overnight show because even when I have air conditioning, it's
Speaker 1: so hot, it doesn't by middle of the day and
Speaker 1: I normally sleep and I get up at like two o'clock,
Speaker 1: so I'm sleeping from like the middle of the hot
Speaker 1: it's really hot. It's not the hottest part of the day,
Speaker 1: but it starts getting really toasty around noon, and then
Speaker 1: it keeps getting hotter and hotter as the afternoon goes on.
Speaker 1: And as you know from doing the overnight shift, and
Speaker 1: even though I have blackout curtains and an air conditioner
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, it's still once it gets to
Speaker 1: a certain point of heat, I get up. I can't
Speaker 1: stay in bed because I get too hot. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I got to get out of here because of the sweat.
Speaker 3: And you said blackout.
Speaker 4: That's what it turned out to be, because the power
Speaker 4: did not cut back on until three thirty am.
Speaker 1: Well, I dealt with a Wi Fi situation. In fact,
Speaker 1: I had to go in an extra night to the
Speaker 1: Mothership because I woke up to get ready for the show.
Speaker 1: And I go on the internet and everyone that's what
Speaker 1: we do. They live on the internet, going on there,
Speaker 1: going through different websites, and the Wi Fi is down.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, gosh, oh crap, you know, everything's tied
Speaker 1: to the Wi Fi. That's a sobering thought that the
Speaker 1: WiFi is not working. And so I go on this
Speaker 1: app and they say, well, the WiFi is going to
Speaker 1: be down for a few hours, but don't worry, it'll
Speaker 1: be back. Estimated time of return of Wi Fi five o'clock.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, you know what, I'll use my hotspot
Speaker 1: on my phone. I'll be fine. I'll use that and
Speaker 1: I use my brain. Okay, fine, So I've used the hotspot.
Speaker 1: It works, Okay, it's not that bad.
Speaker 3: It's fine.
Speaker 1: And then at five o'clock I go to use the
Speaker 1: Wi Fi, turn the Wi Fi on and nothing, you know,
Speaker 1: not not working. So I'm like, oh man, So I
Speaker 1: go back to the app. I go on the app.
Speaker 1: The app's like, well nine o'clock, Well, nine o'clock's kind
Speaker 1: of cutting clothes, right, because nine o'clock is a couple
Speaker 1: hours before showtime, and Wi Fi is tied into the
Speaker 1: broadcast equipment that I use to do the show, and
Speaker 1: so if I don't have the Wi Fi, I can't
Speaker 1: do the show from the home studio. So it's all
Speaker 1: tied together. So I'm like, all right, but I'll wait.
Speaker 1: I'll wait till nine o'clock. Maybe it'll be back. So
Speaker 1: we get to nine o'clock, they send a message out
Speaker 1: we are still efforting to try to get your service back.
Speaker 1: Sometime overnight we'll get it back. And I'm like, oh boy,
Speaker 1: so I took off. I skid that I ski That.
Speaker 3: Might as well have been titled screw you, Bill Miller.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's a total shit show, total total poop
Speaker 1: fest there and so so dependent on this. Although there
Speaker 1: are some guys I will not name the guilty, but
Speaker 1: I have heard there are some some of the people
Speaker 1: that work at our company. There are certain apps that
Speaker 1: you can now get on your phone where you can
Speaker 1: broadcast from your phone as a backup. I got to
Speaker 1: at one of these, and I'm gonna talk I know
Speaker 1: one of the people that has them, because Iowa Sam
Speaker 1: told me about it, So I'm gonna I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: to get one of these apps, Danny as a backup
Speaker 1: just in case that happens again, because I'm very paranoid
Speaker 1: that that's gonna happen, and so I want to make
Speaker 1: sure I have that just in case. And it's not
Speaker 1: that expensive.
Speaker 4: And certain forty nine ers fan in the Bay area
Speaker 4: who has that?
Speaker 1: Is that right? Is that right? Interesting? Yeah? So I
Speaker 1: want to get my hands hands on that. So well,
Speaker 1: maybe you know what it is. I mean, you can
Speaker 1: text it Iowa. Sam gave me the name. He said,
Speaker 1: there's two different things. One of them kind of doesn't
Speaker 1: sound that good, the other one does. So I want
Speaker 1: the one that sounds better. That's what I Obviously, I
Speaker 1: want the one that sounds better.
Speaker 3: Because it's all about it's not a bad backup plan.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Is it hard to set up?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 1: Is it a pain to set up?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I do know that a couple of the times he
Speaker 4: used it, it didn't sound amazing. It passed, it was
Speaker 4: just passable, but it didn't sound like it should. So
Speaker 4: the high standards you have with your live radio show,
Speaker 4: I don't know if it would cut it.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: This is what's known as inside radio. Danny what we're
Speaker 1: doing right now is inside radio.
Speaker 3: Oh but our listeners love when we pull the curtains back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there's an app you can get
Speaker 1: on your phone which is used by broadcasters in television
Speaker 1: and radio. It's a remote app and you can download that,
Speaker 1: and then there's a way you can use I guess
Speaker 1: you'd hook up a microphone to it. Is that right,
Speaker 1: it's part of the deal. And then and how how
Speaker 1: expensive is that?
Speaker 3: I don't know that. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, obviously it works off a bluetooth because
Speaker 4: there's no way to plug anything into iPhones anymore these days.
Speaker 1: I know there's only that one that one connected.
Speaker 4: And then what happened when they remember when they first
Speaker 4: took the headphone jack away from our iPhone? Were freaked out, like,
Speaker 4: holy shit, what are we gonna do without the headphone jack?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was not a pleasant situation. But it's been okay.
Speaker 1: Everything's been fine. We've adapted to the alien technology.
Speaker 3: Non human biologics.
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly exactly, we have there, she blues. So we
Speaker 1: have an update, Danny. This is a podcast exclusive. Nobody
Speaker 1: else has this content, and here it is now. If
Speaker 1: you've listened over the last couple of months. You know
Speaker 1: that I've mentioned both on the regular overnight show which
Speaker 1: is on all night long, and this podcast, which is
Speaker 1: on all weekend long, that the obsession I have with
Speaker 1: our overnight security officer. I've sent you the photos, some
Speaker 1: of the photos.
Speaker 3: Danny, you've seen the photos. Well, yeah, the snorer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this guy has been song logs when I've
Speaker 1: wandered through the courtyard at the iHeart Slash Premiere Networks
Speaker 1: building in beautiful Sherman Oaks, California, just down the hill
Speaker 1: from Bell There. So earlier this week I showed up
Speaker 1: my regular time. I went to a Dodger Blue Jay
Speaker 1: game and I showed up there afterwards. And my friend James,
Speaker 1: who used to be the overnight security guard. I love James,
Speaker 1: wonderful guy, would give you the shirt off his back,
Speaker 1: like that kind of guy, and he works his ass off,
Speaker 1: gets paid shit money, but has the greatest attitude.
Speaker 3: I love the guy.
Speaker 1: And so we've known each other for years because he's
Speaker 1: been at the building for a long time and he
Speaker 1: works at the earlier shift. He works the swing shift,
Speaker 1: not the overnight shift. And this is the guy that
Speaker 1: wrote children's books. He's like cartoon children's books. Roots writes
Speaker 1: the doodles for children. But so I he saw me.
Speaker 1: We caught up. We were catching up on things. He
Speaker 1: told me that some very wealthy woman who does some
Speaker 1: of the workout there's a gym at the building, and
Speaker 1: he said he he met the woman and she they
Speaker 1: started talking in I guess she lives up in the
Speaker 1: hills there where all the rich people live. And one
Speaker 1: thing led to another, and then she said she wanted
Speaker 1: him to write a book for her daughter and some
Speaker 1: of the family friends like cousins, family friends, they know that.
Speaker 1: So he said, sure, no proplem. So he's telling me
Speaker 1: the whole story. He's offered to write this children's book.
Speaker 1: The rate was four hundred dollars for he figured in
Speaker 1: his head ten pages, like a small little book. Ten pages, okay.
Speaker 1: He then tells me that this woman kept calling him
Speaker 1: and saying, well, I'd like a page for this person
Speaker 1: and that person. He said, as of a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago, he was at forty pages, which is a
Speaker 1: lot of work for four hundred dollars if you're doodling cartoons.
Speaker 1: And I said, well, why don't you just tell her
Speaker 1: you need more money? He says. No. He said, I
Speaker 1: gave her my word, and my word is my bond,
Speaker 1: you know that whole app And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of cool, but I'd ask for more money.
Speaker 1: She's obviously she's got the dough. But anyway, the conversation pivoted,
Speaker 1: and it pivoted to there she blows. So is it
Speaker 1: true that our favorite beached whale overnight security guard sawing
Speaker 1: logs in the middle of the night has been given
Speaker 1: the pink slip? Is it also true that I had
Speaker 1: nothing to do with said security guard being excommunicated from
Speaker 1: the overnight shift.
Speaker 3: No, that part can't be true.
Speaker 1: Well, I thought Danny that he was just on vacation
Speaker 1: or had some time off. But according to the streets,
Speaker 1: I did not, of course, hear this from James, because
Speaker 1: James would never talk about company policy. But the streets
Speaker 1: are talking and they claim that this cat was caught
Speaker 1: multiple times shockingly snoozing on the job. And one of
Speaker 1: my securities, one of my security friends there, a different person,
Speaker 1: told me that there are hidden cameras all over the
Speaker 1: building and they had videos of this guy sleeping for hours.
Speaker 1: This guy was sleeping, so then they called him on it,
Speaker 1: and then he tried to challenge the people above him
Speaker 1: to like a fight. He got into a verbal altercation
Speaker 1: which could have turned physical, and they said, well, we've
Speaker 1: got all the evidence. We were paying you and you
Speaker 1: were sleeping on the job. And then I heard from
Speaker 1: somebody else that there are ways you can do it.
Speaker 1: There's a certain area of the building, there are no cameras.
Speaker 1: But this guy, I guess, was not sharp enough to
Speaker 1: figure it out. So it only took six months, Danny
Speaker 1: six months, and they finally figured out that this guy
Speaker 1: was not the guy, so he was given the coal
Speaker 1: miners holiday there.
Speaker 4: Do you have any good stories about radio jocks falling
Speaker 4: asleep during the graveyard shift?
Speaker 1: You have had? I will of course protect the names
Speaker 1: of the guilty, but we did famously have I was
Speaker 1: doing the weekend overnight show and one of the update
Speaker 1: guys that was only there on the weekends, who's gone
Speaker 1: on and become a pretty successful blogger in that in
Speaker 1: that domain. This guy fell asleep at the top of
Speaker 1: the hour news update and we played the music the board.
Speaker 1: I played the music. He's supposed to start talking silence.
Speaker 1: I happened to be standing in the room at the
Speaker 1: old studio. I looked over and I don't think you
Speaker 1: were the one day ianway, this is before you that time.
Speaker 1: That was before your time. So I look over and
Speaker 1: he's on the mic with his headphones on and the
Speaker 1: mic is on and he's sleeping. So we we Then
Speaker 1: I go in. I walked a short walk. I go
Speaker 1: in there and I kind of like I hit the table.
Speaker 1: He wakes up and immediately starts talking like he's on
Speaker 1: the I realized what. I don't know what, he just
Speaker 1: like snapped into it. It was it was crazy.
Speaker 3: Was it a train wreck?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 4: Because how do you time that out when you don't
Speaker 4: even know where you're at?
Speaker 3: In the update?
Speaker 1: It was not Marconi Award winning Uh, it would not
Speaker 1: be something you'd put on on a sizzle reel. You
Speaker 1: would not, you would not use that at all. But
Speaker 1: he I give him credit. He nuzzled up against the
Speaker 1: microphone and he attempted to complete the mission. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that was that was nuts that you just like literally
Speaker 1: fall asleep right there. We've had There's one former NFL
Speaker 1: coach that I will not name either because we may
Speaker 1: have him on the podcast at some point, but he
Speaker 1: also fell asleep. Well only when he talks, we we
Speaker 1: fall asleep. I think that's that's how that works, Danny.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so that was the fun, the sleep story.
Speaker 1: We have a little time. I think we'll push back
Speaker 1: pop goes the culture, but we should get to backscratcher
Speaker 1: because we did not have any last week. Very embarrassing,
Speaker 1: very embarrassing.
Speaker 4: So this is where you'se embarrassing. There's podcasts that don't
Speaker 4: get any ever at all. No, I know, we just
Speaker 4: we're just kind of spoiled a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so all we wants a couple of week in one, two, three, four,
Speaker 1: a couple of week you know, that's a handful. So
Speaker 1: you scratch our back, we'll scratch your back. And so
Speaker 1: it's a weekly reminder that the corporate powers that be
Speaker 1: love to read reviews. They look at the Apple podcast
Speaker 1: page and say how many reviews and are they positive?
Speaker 1: Are they negative? And all that, and it goes a
Speaker 1: long way to keep the podcast going that of course,
Speaker 1: and advertisers keep the podcast going. So that's the backdrop
Speaker 1: on this. So this week, Danny, and it is all
Speaker 1: in description how you can be part of the Apple
Speaker 1: podcast page and help us out. But this week did
Speaker 1: we get zero one or two.

Speaker 1: can follow along and have a fine time.
Speaker 4: Or bad taste. But she's a good person. So thank
Speaker 4: you to Sarah. And then what was the gentleman's name?
Speaker 1: He just he did not give his name. He said
Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia. That was his handle on there.
Speaker 3: Bill's ma.
Speaker 4: I wonder if the Bills are going to be able
Speaker 4: to sign Dalvin Cook. Yeah, I would love to see
Speaker 4: him run the ball there in Buffalo.
Speaker 1: Well, not the Patriots or the Dolphins, they wouldn't want
Speaker 1: to see that. Probably the Jets. But yeah, we'll get
Speaker 1: out on that. We will have pop goes to the
Speaker 1: Culture and the mail Bag that will be on the
Speaker 1: Sunday podcast. That will be tomorrow, unless you're listening to
