Danny, I have an update. 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:51.120 I talked about this on the podcast recently that I 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:57.000 stabbed myself with a katana, which is a Samurai sword, 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:02.840 and I am still covering from said stab wound. And 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.919 so I had a mellow weekend. The highlight I got 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.160 to the beach and all that, but I couldn't do anything. 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:10.520 I could go in the water, I could up my 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.480 feet in the water because I can't get sand on 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.200 the thing. So it was pin of the ass. But 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.440 I did have a power lunch. Now, I don't do 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.680 power lunches, Danny. I do it late night shows, you know, 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.400 and when you do the overnight show, you don't normally 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.480 get up early to go even lunch is like yeah, 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:28.760 and I don't eat that much and it's a big thing. 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.040 So but I did a power lunch. A friend of mine, 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:32.880 I've talked about him in the past on the show, 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.680 that he works for the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Pirates 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.200 who just played the Dodgers not that long ago, a 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.440 couple of weeks ago. They were right back in the 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:48.160 LA area playing the Angels, and so my friend Robbie 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.880 was in town. Robbie in Spokowski is his name. He 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:57.160 is the Yinsers in game reporter. So we watch a 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.920 Pirates game you live in Pittsburgh or get access to 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.200 Pirates baseball. He's the guy that does the pregame interview, 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.680 the in game you know, goofy stuff with fans, that 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:05.960 kind of. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:10.000 Stuff, and their version of David Yeah. 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.640 Kind of well you know Tvassa does that on TV too, 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.960 So yeah, So the Pirates were in town playing the Angels, 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:20.760 and I had an Irving Berlin special because the legendary 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.960 musician before my time, Irving Berlin, by the way, putting 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.200 on the rits. So I went out to lunch. Pirates 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.320 had an off day. They flew in after a day game. 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.520 I think they were playing Cleveland and they flew in. 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:35.479 They had a day off in so cal So Robbie's like, 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.000 why why don't you know go out to lunch And 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.960 I was like, yeah, I shure, no problem, I'll pick 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.200 you up from the hotel. He said, sure, that'd be great. 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.400 And the Pirates, I can't say it. They're not there anymore. 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.560 They went back to Pittsburgh or whatever. So and they 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.880 asked you what the San Diego after they were in Anaheim, 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.719 but they stayed at the Ritz Carlton, that Riz Carlton 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.920 in Dana Point, Yeah, which is halfway to San Diego 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.040 from La Dana Point. And they were doing their thing 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.280 and all that, And so I went to pick up 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.560 Robbie at the Rich Carlton. I had actually been there 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:11.599 one other time, Danny, I snuck into the NFL Owners 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.520 meetings and that was that was the famous story years ago, 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.520 and so not great security at the NFL Owners meetings 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.839 about I don't remember year that was. It was probably 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:25.840 about fifteen years ago. I saw back there at just stunning. 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:30.120 And I can confirm Danny that the Pittsburgh Pirates traveling 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:34.800 party is living their best life. And Robbie told me 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.200 they don't normally stay at that hotel, but it was 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:42.480 a family trip, so they brought the wives, the girlfriends, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.240 the kids were able to travel, some of them with 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:49.640 the team. And so this hotel is beautifulhich is right 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.080 on the Pacific, the Mighty Pacific, right behind hotel golf 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:57.480 courses down there. It's just amazing, and I picked Robby up. 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:01.400 We had a power lunch at a very expensive Mexican 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.800 restaurant with a bunch of people that looked famous, but 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.560 I don't know who famous people are, Danny. So there 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.960 was this one guy in particular who was a little 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.360 older than us, but he was covered in he had 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.240 like an arm tattoos. He looked like a rock and 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.799 roll guy. And even Robbie's like, I think that guy's 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.920 are I think I recognize him, but I'm not sure 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.200 who he is either, So we're not sure who it is, 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.279 but we and this guy, he just kind of oozed 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:29.400 that arrogant, confident music success. 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:33.080 Probably like a famous guitarist from an eighties rock band. 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.320 Yeah, Like he had his kids there and they were 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:41.360 hanging out and his trophy girlfriend was with him doing 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.360 their thing and all that. But it was it was 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.520 great to see Robbie. It was very nice. I'm glad 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.280 he reached out to me. He's a fan of the show. 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:51.280 I actually met Robbie through this show and we were 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.400 trading war stories, which you know, I love that day. 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.520 I can't get enough of that. Every once in a while, 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.880 I get one of these things, and I love hearing 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.120 the stories and I like to share some of the 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.599 stories I've had in my career in the business. And 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.839 Robbie has worked all over the place. He worked for 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.440 the Phoenix Coyotes there were then I think the Arizona 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:14.440 Coyotes back in the day. And he also has done 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:18.960 stuff in Minnesota with the Twins and the Timberwolves, and 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.720 now for many years he's been with the Pittsburgh Pirates 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:27.000 and so life in that television world. And he also 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.600 is interested in getting a radio He's actually done some stuff. 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.360 I talked about this as well. But Robbie we talked 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.000 about the radio business and he wants to do a 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.840 talk radio show and he likes the way that I 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:38.720 do the show. So we were talking about that and 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.640 different different techniques that we do a lot of it's preparing. 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:46.360 That's mostly what it is. Preparation is the key. So 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:50.520 that was my power lunch, which was kind of cool. 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.680 It was kind of cool and it was fun, and 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:54.800 so it's it's. 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.640 How much where you're inas. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.080 Yeah, they were pressing. I just got the takeos because 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:05.360 I'm a child, So I ordered the taketos off the 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.560 appetizer menu. But yeah, the actual real meals at this 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.560 Mexican restaurant, which was literally on the Pacific Ocean. Like 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.600 you look out you see the waves of the ocean. 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:22.200 Insanely expensive and I just drank water, so I did 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:23.040 not have any. 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.680 You know, I've been to that spot a couple of times, 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.360 right there in Dana Point. It's always for a major 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.040 event like my girl's birthday, obviously, because the night there 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:36.439 at the Ritz as expensive as you can imagine. Last 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.800 year for her birthday, I saved up a little bit 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:43.040 of money, booked a night there. I lucked out big time. 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.800 So we're celebrating her birthday. We turn the lights out, 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:52.160 go to bed after some you know, Bible study, Dan, 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.000 we get woken up. The people in the room next 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:02.160 to us are having a full on karaoke party. 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.800 I thought you were gonna say something else. I thought orgy, 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.280 but I did not have karaoke on my Bingo card 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:09.480 for that. 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.760 But okay, oh man, Ben. 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.040 They were singing like I heard a dire straight song 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.920 money for Nothing in your Chicks for Free, And this 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.280 guy was screaming the song at the top of his lungs, 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.360 So my girl calls the front desk. They're not used 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.280 to things like this at the RITZ, so they are 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:33.160 falling all over themselves apologizing. They're like, we'll take care 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.080 of it. We'll take care of it. This party went 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.640 on for a good hour. Okay, it sounded like a 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.800 great party too. We kind of wished we were there. 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.360 A bunch of hookers and cocaine. 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.400 But by the time it was all said and done, 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.000 they wound up apologizing by putting a whole bunch of 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:56.000 points onto our card. Oh nice enough to wear. We 0:09:56.160 --> 0:10:00.040 use those points for our honeymoon when we got marri. 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:02.480 Oh that's sweet. 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.000 So yeah, well that exact daing a point hotel you're 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.719 talking about is the reason I'm married right now. 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.040 Screw them. 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.120 Yeah, that's nice, outstanding. 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.080 Yeah, I mean I love them. 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.960 You you actually triggered a thought in my head here 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:25.280 from hotel experiences and and then combining with the rock 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:26.920 and roll guy. I remember the video I think we 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.559 talked about on the show of it was a very 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:34.720 famous musician. I don't know if it was Eddie Van 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.480 Halen or David Lee Roth, one of those type of 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:42.160 guys that was walking in a in a hotel and 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.520 it was in I think it was in Vegas and 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.199 they heard it was they were filming a reality show. 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.000 Oh Lee Roth, David Lee Roth. 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:52.559 Okay, so you know what, I do you remember that 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.240 or they they were they were playing the one of 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.800 his songs and some I thought it would kind of 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.920 cool to knock on the door and the person as 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.280 there had no fucking idea who he was. You know. 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.840 It was just an embarrassing, awkward moment. 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.679 But wonderful at the same time. Yeh, but but wonderful 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.559 at the same time, just so good. And I don't 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:15.720 know how long ago that was, but I just google it. 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:16.560 Just David, I. 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.440 Had no good memory by you. That was David Lee Roth, 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.400 the original lead singer to Van Halen. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.080 There you go, and he probably needed bags of ice 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.960 when he got done, right. He just needed the bags 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:27.559 of ice. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.120 Right there for his knees, probably because the way he 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:33.680 used to bounce up and down all over the concert stage. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:40.280 Famous for his showmanship. I have some dark circles around 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:44.400 my eyes. I normally wear sunglasses a lot because when 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:49.679 I take them off, I resemble a raccoon because of 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:55.040 my sleeping pattern or my lack of sleeping pattern. But 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:59.760 I'm gonna look extra horrible on this Saturday because last night, 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:05.680 thousands of people in my neighborhood lost their power. At 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:10.920 twelve thirty pm. We woke up because the AC shut off, 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.439 All the powers shut off, and it's that feeling of 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:16.640 is this just our place? 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.600 So what do you do? You have to walk outside? Right? 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:20.240 Yeah? 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:21.840 Yeah, first move. 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.000 So I walk out and I see my neighbors all 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.360 doing the same thing too, doing that neighborhood check, like, 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:29.760 oh shit, is this our power? 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:31.959 Yeah? Everybody. 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.800 So I'm out there, I see everybody walking around in 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:39.240 their pj's. It's the whole neighborhood. Everybody's dark. And it 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:43.320 was still ninety two degrees outside. We've had a heat 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.920 wave here in southern California. And when it's ninety two 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.760 and your AC cuts off, your place turns into it 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.400 What were those little ovens when we were kids. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.199 Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I don't remember 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.720 the name of them, but yeah, a little small Yeah, 0:12:58.960 --> 0:12:59.679 it turns. 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.440 Into one of those easy bit easy bake ovens. 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:03.320 Bake there you go. 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:04.000 Yeah. 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.480 So told my wife, I'm like, well, I'm gonna have 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:10.000 to open the slider here because even though it's hot outside, 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.839 we need some sort of air circulating. 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:14.720 And where do you stand on this? 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.520 She told me that I was letting all the cool 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.559 air escape. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.959 Well, had it already gotten hot or was it still 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.000 kind of cool? If it was still kind of cool, 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:29.120 I got a side with the was was your bride there? Was? 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:33.640 She also like, was she hot? Also? Because like like 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.920 women seem to not get as like I'm always warm too, 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.319 Like I always feel like it's too hot, But I 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.920 think women generally takes them a little while before they 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.520 get to that point. 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.440 And normally with her, you are correct. But because she's 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.240 got a little oven baking of her. 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:49.360 Own, Oh that's true. 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.360 Yeah, yeah, she needs to have a fan on her 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.520 right now at all times. I was just trying to 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.360 think ahead. I'm like, well, let me at least get 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:01.439 a little bit of air circulating in here. But she disagreed, 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.360 to the point where she got up, grabbed her pillows, 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.000 and walked downstairs. 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:11.640 Flats. Oh, she's so upset with you. She left. 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.480 Oh boy, man, I'm like, I'm not going to be 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.120 able to sleep and wake up for the podcast. What 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:18.520 the hell am I gonna do? How am I going 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.400 to go back to sleep. I'm thinking, hopefully this is 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:25.800 just like a twenty minute thing. Thirty minutes, the power 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.520 will come back on in a half hour and AC 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:33.640 will pop back on. Nope, go to the freezer, grab 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.200 some zip block bags, and here's my move. I'm like, well, 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:42.360 let me throw an ice in three ziplock bags. And 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:46.160 then I wandered back upstairs and I strategically placed one 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:50.080 on the top of my head, one on my chest, 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:53.080 and then like one on my like towards my knees. 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.200 So let me see if I can fall asleep. Yeah, 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:01.200 it wound up working, not right away. I do fall asleep, 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.760 but then I woke up ben in a frozen state. 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:12.280 Because I wake up like an hour later and the 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.600 bag of ice, I guess you know, from the ice melting, 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:21.840 It slid down and I woke up with frozen balls. 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:26.680 Oh no, icy nuts. 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.920 Ice ice baby yeah yeah. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.200 So oh boy. 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.440 Now I'm like, what the man, I'm still but you 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:39.000 didn't You didn't wake up initially when that happened, right, 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.160 That didn't Wait, it had been there for a little 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.840 while before you realize the problem is that. 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.960 Defrost a little bit tm. I oh boy, but it's 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:51.160 that situation where you have the next wet and I 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.440 don't know about you, but I can't sleep when you 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.920 get that. It's the worst feeling ever. 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.440 Yeah, it's bad, and I deal with that. This time 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:01.880 of the year is the worst time to do the 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.840 overnight show because even when I have air conditioning, it's 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.640 so hot, it doesn't by middle of the day and 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.360 I normally sleep and I get up at like two o'clock, 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.520 so I'm sleeping from like the middle of the hot 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.680 it's really hot. It's not the hottest part of the day, 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.800 but it starts getting really toasty around noon, and then 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.320 it keeps getting hotter and hotter as the afternoon goes on. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.600 And as you know from doing the overnight shift, and 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:26.760 even though I have blackout curtains and an air conditioner 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.960 and all that stuff, it's still once it gets to 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.320 a certain point of heat, I get up. I can't 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.080 stay in bed because I get too hot. I'm like, 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.840 I got to get out of here because of the sweat. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:39.720 And you said blackout. 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.840 That's what it turned out to be, because the power 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.960 did not cut back on until three thirty am. 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.840 Well, I dealt with a Wi Fi situation. In fact, 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.040 I had to go in an extra night to the 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:56.120 Mothership because I woke up to get ready for the show. 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.640 And I go on the internet and everyone that's what 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.600 we do. They live on the internet, going on there, 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:05.520 going through different websites, and the Wi Fi is down. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.760 So I'm like, gosh, oh crap, you know, everything's tied 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.760 to the Wi Fi. That's a sobering thought that the 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:15.000 WiFi is not working. And so I go on this 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.600 app and they say, well, the WiFi is going to 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.840 be down for a few hours, but don't worry, it'll 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:23.960 be back. Estimated time of return of Wi Fi five o'clock. 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:26.639 So I'm like, you know what, I'll use my hotspot 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:31.639 on my phone. I'll be fine. I'll use that and 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:36.160 I use my brain. Okay, fine, So I've used the hotspot. 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:37.680 It works, Okay, it's not that bad. 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:38.160 It's fine. 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:43.320 And then at five o'clock I go to use the 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:47.520 Wi Fi, turn the Wi Fi on and nothing, you know, 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.600 not not working. So I'm like, oh man, So I 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:52.800 go back to the app. I go on the app. 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:59.280 The app's like, well nine o'clock, Well, nine o'clock's kind 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.480 of cutting clothes, right, because nine o'clock is a couple 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:07.119 hours before showtime, and Wi Fi is tied into the 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.600 broadcast equipment that I use to do the show, and 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.400 so if I don't have the Wi Fi, I can't 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.679 do the show from the home studio. So it's all 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.720 tied together. So I'm like, all right, but I'll wait. 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.560 I'll wait till nine o'clock. Maybe it'll be back. So 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.960 we get to nine o'clock, they send a message out 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.400 we are still efforting to try to get your service back. 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:28.480 Sometime overnight we'll get it back. And I'm like, oh boy, 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:32.240 so I took off. I skid that I ski That. 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.359 Might as well have been titled screw you, Bill Miller. 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:40.280 Yeah. Yeah, it's a total shit show, total total poop 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:45.600 fest there and so so dependent on this. Although there 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.639 are some guys I will not name the guilty, but 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:49.919 I have heard there are some some of the people 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.320 that work at our company. There are certain apps that 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.640 you can now get on your phone where you can 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.920 broadcast from your phone as a backup. I got to 0:18:59.920 --> 0:19:01.919 at one of these, and I'm gonna talk I know 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.240 one of the people that has them, because Iowa Sam 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.520 told me about it, So I'm gonna I'm gonna try 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.280 to get one of these apps, Danny as a backup 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.879 just in case that happens again, because I'm very paranoid 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:17.280 that that's gonna happen, and so I want to make 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.600 sure I have that just in case. And it's not 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:20.440 that expensive. 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.480 And certain forty nine ers fan in the Bay area 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:24.240 who has that? 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.840 Is that right? Is that right? Interesting? Yeah? So I 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:32.560 want to get my hands hands on that. So well, 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:34.760 maybe you know what it is. I mean, you can 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:36.880 text it Iowa. Sam gave me the name. He said, 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.280 there's two different things. One of them kind of doesn't 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.000 sound that good, the other one does. So I want 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:44.119 the one that sounds better. That's what I Obviously, I 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:45.320 want the one that sounds better. 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.600 Because it's all about it's not a bad backup plan. 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:50.359 Yeah. Is it hard to set up? 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:50.600 Though? 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:51.960 Is it a pain to set up? 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:53.360 I don't know. 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.720 I do know that a couple of the times he 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:02.119 used it, it didn't sound amazing. It passed, it was 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:06.159 just passable, but it didn't sound like it should. So 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:10.080 the high standards you have with your live radio show, 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:11.679 I don't know if it would cut it. 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:15.479 Well. 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.680 This is what's known as inside radio. Danny what we're 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:19.280 doing right now is inside radio. 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:23.160 Oh but our listeners love when we pull the curtains back. 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.720 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there's an app you can get 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:28.359 on your phone which is used by broadcasters in television 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:32.159 and radio. It's a remote app and you can download that, 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:34.840 and then there's a way you can use I guess 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.000 you'd hook up a microphone to it. Is that right, 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:41.600 it's part of the deal. And then and how how 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:42.520 expensive is that? 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:44.879 I don't know that. I don't know. 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:48.320 Yeah, I mean, obviously it works off a bluetooth because 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:51.800 there's no way to plug anything into iPhones anymore these days. 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.880 I know there's only that one that one connected. 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:57.240 And then what happened when they remember when they first 0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:01.720 took the headphone jack away from our iPhone? Were freaked out, like, 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.000
