He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.920 the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.800 crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.200 pill poppers in the penthouse. The Clearinghouse of Hot takes 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.080 break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:33.320 Maller starts right now in the air everywhere and welcome 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:37.160 into another pipe and Hot edition of The Fifth Hour 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:42.879 with Ben Mallard and Danny g As. We hang out 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:49.960 in the Magic Podcast do Joe another Saturday podcast Danny As, 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:54.000 We're back at it in a full menu on Benny's 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.520 Bodega here, So we have a lot on the menu 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.480 to get to. Now, how did the Talent Show go? Ben? 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.440 I didn't it to hear it. The Talent Show was amazing. 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.399 I want to thank everyone that participated. We had a 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.360 few people that flaked, that said they were gonna do it, 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.360 they didn't do it. But we had really amazing talent. 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.560 I'm I'm blown away by this every year. And we 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:19.520 had a surfer Todd, the comedian did a uh An 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:23.880 act that normally would not work on radio, where he 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.360 he was a pretending he had a puppet and he 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.479 was talking as the puppet. So he did that classic 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:36.119 tunes by J. Scoop, just Josh Ohio, Stevie Meatballs did 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:40.600 this X rated comedy thing. Rachel and Montobello was great, 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:42.480 and so we had a lot of fun. It was 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:46.240 fun night and the perfect day to do that, Danny, 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.880 the day after the All Star Game. There's not a 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.600 better day on the calendar to do the talent shown. 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.800 As long as I have this chair and as long 0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.920 as I have the microphones at Fox Sports Radio. Every year, 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.120 we're not gonna play spin the bottle or pin the 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.960 tail on the donkey. What we are going to do 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:11.200 is this Mallard Palooza talent show every year. So it 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.959 was It was a lot of fun, and uh inco 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.480 Tera was great. He was our judge and so I 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.280 had a good time. There were some people who are 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.280 absolutely terrible, and there were other people that were kind 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:23.919 of okay, and then there were a bunch of people 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.520 that were great. So it was awesome. Yeah, not a 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:30.520 bad consolation prize considering we were all hoping that the 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:36.639 game would go into extra innings to see some home runs. Yeah, Well, 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.720 my guy Ken Levine, who he had on the podcast, 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.839 he wrote a column. I was reading it the other 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.440 day about the All Star Game and he really nailed it. 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.600 Like the problem with the All Star Game from an 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:53.640 entertainment standpoint, they did way too many interviews during the game. 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.360 And it I know why they did this because they 0:02:58.400 --> 0:02:59.880 got like a new toy. You know, when you get 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:01.519 an a toy, you play with the toy all the time. 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:06.000 You can't get enough of the toy. But it's it's overkilled. 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:12.480 You didn't like how the grounds crew was miked up. Yeah, 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.880 it's so stupid, It's like and he pointed out Ken. 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.200 And then the column that he wrote and I recommended 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.840 on his blog the Kendla Line. I think it's his website, 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.359 but it's blog spot, Kendla Mine, whatever it might be. 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.320 But he talked about all like the gimmicks and all 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.440 that and and the fact that it made it seem 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.720 like it was a softball picnic, like a picnic softball 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.000 game was the way I believe he described it. And 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.200 there's gotta be a fine, there's a bounce. We always 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:44.920 talk about the the secret recipe for KFC, the Kentucky 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.760 Fried chicken, the eleven herbs and spices. But if you 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.160 put too much of each thing in, it messes the 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.880 whole thing up. So anyway, I I and the All 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:56.840 Star Game is coming gone, and I we're back to 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.160 regular baseball and all that. Did you try to go 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.160 to the All Star Game? Danny? Because I did not 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.320 try to go to the All Star Game. I I 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:08.560 could have probably gone use some kind of media bullcrap 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.480 to get in, but I did not even go down 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.760 that road. No, I didn't even try either. Between the 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:17.800 network and teaching, I had no time. But I did 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.279 get to watch it, at least no. I watched it 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.880 because I had to do the show and stuff. And 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.440 the only way I would have gone is if Marlin's 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.640 man had invited me. But I saw him there, but 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.799 he did not. He did not give me the invite. 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.520 So I did not make the cut for the All 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.000 Star Game, so I did not end up gone. You 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.720 know that it was an important event when my tender 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.080 only pulled the extra couch into the living room. Okay, 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:46.520 there you go. I mean the whole family was watching. Okay, 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.159 that's cool, all right. No, I thought it was all right, 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:53.599 But maybe I'm just jaded at this point. I thought, 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:58.640 even before it mattered, when Bud Seely made it decide 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.960 home field advantage, like there was like a pride if 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.440 you were an American League player you hated the National 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.920 League and vice versa. It's obviously not that anymore. They don't. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.719 They're just grab bass. It is. My ash feels so 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:17.880 good right now. On the bodega menu, Benny's Bodega, we've 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:22.359 got punked, do the Wave, gobsmacked. That's a big corn 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.360 dog and backscratcher. And we'll get to all of that 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.280 and possibly some other things, but we'll start with this. 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:33.080 So last weekend was a very eventful one and the 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.360 Life of Mallard podcast Life of Danny g So Friday morning, 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.800 I had to work on a project that could end 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:46.920 up being massively huge or it maybe nothing. It's one 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.040 of those things that could be something or could be nothing. 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:53.240 It's a developmental project and it's in the early stages. Unfortunately, 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.520 that's all I can say. I won't know anything for 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.840 a little while on whether or not this is gonna 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.839 work or not, but I should know within about a month, 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.640 So about a month away from knowing this, So that 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.479 that took a lot of my time last week. That 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.800 was also one of the reasons I did not go 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.920 to the All Star Games. I wanted to focus on that, 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:16.880 and so I had some things I had to do. 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.920 Doesn't have to do with the football season. I want 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.640 to get into it. But there are some things, the 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.240 conversations that are taking place Danny, that could be very 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.320 fruitful or maybe nothing. And I will promise you that 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.039 if it turns out to be nothing, I will still 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:37.440 talk about it. I am attempting not to put the 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.800 whammy on this, so I probably already put the whammy 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:42.680 on it by talking about as much as I did. 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.200 But you don't know exactly what it is. You don't. 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.520 You might think you know, but trust me, you don't know. 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.720 I didn't say exactly what it is. I didn't say 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.360 what it was about. I didn't say any of that, 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:58.120 just say so anyway. But then after that got done, 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.760 I went to bed. I got a Friday afternoon. We 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.760 had big plans me, my, the wife, the cousin and 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.320 her family. We're gonna head to the beach. So she 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.960 texts me while I was sleeping. I wake up, got 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.080 all these messages on my phone. Plot twist right, Uh, 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:17.240 it can't make it, she says, tested positive for the coulvid, right, 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.520 so she can't make it now. She has some pre 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.080 existing conditions. She's in a high risk group, so it's 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.640 it's not your normal run of the mill COVID thing 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.120 where if I get it, who cares. But she's got 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.760 some other stuff going on, so uh, it's been an 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.640 interesting roller coaster as she tries to navigate. The good 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:38.080 news is they actually have some kind of medications. I 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.160 guess some things you can take. It's not a cure 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.440 or whatever, but there's stuff you can take if you're 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.880 in the high risk group. So that's cool that they 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.600 have some stuff now to help people like her out. 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.000 But I went to the beach anyway, and I was 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.160 actually able to find parking this time, which was good, 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.560 and enjoyed the ways very briefly. My wife got hungry, 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.640 so we had a high tail into some chicken chack 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:03.440 and get some again. I also ordered my new mic arm, 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.440 which is very important. This is the kind of content 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.360 you tune into the fifth hour for. So in a 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.240 previous episode, Danny we talked about I ordered all this stuff. 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.480 Everything was wrong, and the mic arm I ordered was 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.000 all destroyed for the podcast part of the studio. Now 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.680 you can see this dandy. I am not using a 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.160 mic arm. I'm using my old setup. There's a reason 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:27.440 for that, because the mic arm showed up at the 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.040 Mallard mansion here and I thought I had been punked. 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:36.079 I thought I had been This box had at some 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:41.280 point been opened. It was then retaped. There was stuff 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.520 falling out of it. In fact, I have not even 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:48.160 fully opened it. Uh, if you want, you can kill 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:49.840 sometimes I can go get it here. It's in the 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.199 it's in the studio. You all want to say, you 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.959 want to talk for a second, Yeah, I'll do some 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:58.600 play by play. And Ben takes his headphones off. Now 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.720 he gets out of his broadcast and chair. He walks 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:03.880 to the right of the screen I'm watching him on 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.720 and he bangs into his backdrop and he sits back down. 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:14.120 Ladies and gentlemen, we have what is that? This is 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.320 I've not touched it. This is how it showed up. 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.600 I don't know if you can see the skateboard came 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:23.439 in there, right, yeah, and you can see longboard. If 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.000 you don't know, if you can, I can show it 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.280 on camera here. It's obviously the podcast. You can't see 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.120 this get longer than that, Geez. Looks like it's a 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:34.360 huge box, but it looks like twenty aluminum baseball bats came. Like, 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.720 look at the top. Here is completely it's been opened. 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:44.440 There's stuff falling out of it. This, yes, this showed 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:49.160 up on my doorstep. And it wasn't from like even 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.480 you know how you order stuff on Ebays sometimes and 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.480 it's like, well that's you know, it's repackaged and that's 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.840 the thing. This was ordered brand new on Amazon. Looks 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.160 like the ups drive were stomped on it, jumped up 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.320 and down on the package, threw it around the back 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.800 of his truck, and torpedoed it to your front door. Yeah, 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.320 what are the chances that this thing actually works? Right? 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:12.640 I mean I haven't even opened it and I haven't 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.280 had time, but there's no way. There is no way 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.640 this thing's gonna work. I would be shocked if it works. 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:22.120 But maybe it will. I'll get lucky this time. Wrong, Like, 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:26.120 at some point I have questions here, like how does 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.520 that end up? Have you you mentioned the ups guy 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.800 or whatever? It was just like throwing around, but wouldn't 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.319 you say, wait a minute, was damaged? I can't deliver this, 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.760 uh this Who wants to order a new product and 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.160 it shows up like that. I mean, I guess those 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.679 guys are in a hurry with all their deliveries. But 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:44.600 if I had a package like that, I think I 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.280 would bust out the tape at least to make it presentable. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.800 Somebody threw it the front of the box through a shredder. Well, 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.000 the thing is, they actually taped it, but they did 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:59.640 such a half past job, like you can see there's 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.000 some that was headed to it. I'm just like, I 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.000 wonder what it looked like when it left wherever it 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.240 came from, and how how many people tossed it around. 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.840 It looks like they were they were playing tug of 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:15.040 war with the box as the rope. It's just crazy. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:20.280 But so that was the big update on that. And 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.040 we must do the wave though, Danny. That's what we 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:24.760 have to do now. We have to do the wave, 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.520 is what we must do. Yeah, what a crazy week. 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.360 Been a lot of teaching hours, a lot of hours 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.040 at the network, and my tender owning actually took the 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:38.360 kids camping with her family in morro Bay, so actually 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:42.640 overslept for a few minutes because the house is so quiet. Okay, 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.760 and I get to do the podcast from upstairs. Oh 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.160 that's nice. I did see the new location there. Wow, 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.400 so that everyone when you were not able to go, 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.760 But they're having a fine time. I stay behind and 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.920 make some money. Um, you know they're sleeping on those 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.360 blow up things inside the tent, the blow up beds, 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.360 air mattresses. It's not what it's called. I think that's 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:09.640 the technical term blow up beds. But you blow up hi, 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:14.240 you're sleeping. We know about blow up dolls, not blow 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:19.720 up beds. Yeah, well back in the old days asolutely. Yeah. 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.600 So it's a quiet house. But man, the classroom was 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.760 anything but quiet this past week. So I had to 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.439 come up with some new science projects for the first graders. 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:35.760 I had sixty first graders that is basically a full 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:40.240 bottle of a leave what that is because they don't 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.160 know if they're in kindergarten anymore or if they should 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.800 follow any sort of instruction from a teacher. So it's 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.640 a strange age group. Yeah, throwing stuff against the wall, 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.600 seeing what sticks, and you came up with something new. Yeah. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:57.200 I had to do a hybrid between finger painting and 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:02.160 studying about Sir Isaac Newton all the balance. So you 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.920 were deliberating on which way to go and which way 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.280 did you go? One came up that I thought was 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:12.280 kind of cool, an audio wave, and the kid like 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:16.120 painted the backdrop, and then an adult helped them see 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:20.720 what their voice looked like. In garage band, as you know, 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.240 is an old school program. A lot of computers have 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.760 for recording voices. Is that still around garage band? Is 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.320 that still? I think it is. Yeah, I don't think 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.400 very many people use it, but I think it's still 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.839 on some computers. But I'm like, hey, I could do that. Obviously, 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.440 we do all this broadcasting every week. I'll just take 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.320 my laptop in record these little kids. Show them what 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.440 their voice looks like. They probably never have seen that. 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.840 Start them young, right, show them exactly what a podcast 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:57.160 looks like, the magic of audio content. They're pretty excited, Ben, 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.320 because one by one I called them up to my 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:03.120 desk and told him you could say anything you want. 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.960 I just need a sentence from you. So it's kind 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.000 of like, you know, station told you, Hey, we need 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.240 a liner from you. Ben. You can say whatever you 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:16.480 want in a sentence, and I put a little clause together. 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:22.880 I am a dog named Dexter. I love to eat strawberries. 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:28.160 I love in chilatics. Hi. My name is Melodie. I 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:32.600 love fastball and soccer. My cat's name is Dassie. Yea. 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:39.240 I love sence. My dog's name is Figgy. He fights 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:44.880 so hard. My bunny's name is Mochi. I kicked a 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:50.200 ball hard and soccer frist card go fast. My favorite 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:56.880 sport is baseball. I love softball. I love pasta, I 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:02.960 like water moons, I like lad I like baby chinchillas. 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:09.520 I love this pactake so much. Died flag. That was like, Yeah, 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:15.760 my name is Issibel and I make little dots. I 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:22.680 like eating juicy steak. That's not the way I like 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:27.960 the steak. I like mine well done, no juice, no yea. 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.880 And the little girl in there that was that was 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.360 a nod to Genie maybe in Medford, because not only 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.680 did she talk about her cat, but she made the 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:45.000 cat sound. What were cat's names? Bubby? Bubby was the 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:48.320 That was the big one. I remembering Genie. We didn't 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.840 think Bubby was real, and then at some point Bubby 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.560 the cat for the greatest caller in the history of 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.200 Fox Sports Radio. Genie Mefford, the cat wouldn't be there, 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.200 and so then she said, tell me here, Bubby, and 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.880 she like occasionally, she kicked the tail right, pulled the tail. 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.120 That was the famous one. She pulled the tail and 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:11.120 the cats screamed in agony from or Genie and Medford 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.160 grabbing the cats till to get it to make noise. 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.040 I do remember that that's funny. So maybe Genie is 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.080 a little girl was just like this girl. And I 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.440 think so this girl she definitely pulls her cat's tail. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.880 It was awesome to see their eyes light up when 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.040 they saw what their voice looked like on the screen, 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.600 and then when they heard their voice playback on the speaker. 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.000 I would just tell him hit the space bar, hit 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.240 the start, and then they started it and then they 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.920 saw it moving, the cursor moving with their voice playing 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:44.840 one kid though, Ben and I think we can both 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:48.000 relate to this. I played his voice the second time 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:49.760 and he and he looked at me and he's like, 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:55.920 I don't want to hear my voice again. Yes, yes, absolutely, 0:16:56.000 --> 0:17:02.200 you know the voice. Hearing your voice back is very uncomfortable. 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.400 It's like actors not wanting to watch their movie when 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.760 it's done. Yeah, and The thing about that too is 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.280 if you hear your own voice and like it, there's 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.199 something wrong with you. I think I think there's a 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:18.399 little something like you know. I just it's Cransworthy Royals 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:23.119 having their problems on the road. I'm Ben Mallock. The 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:26.280 other thing too about that is that's changed a lot. 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.479 Maybe it's just where we work now, and I'm not 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:32.399 complaining about it. But the air checks, back in the 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:36.160 old days, I was always air checks, which you an 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.680 air check is where you'd sit in the program director's 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.320 office and they and back in the old days they 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.679 get cassettes, but then they do DVDs. Now they do 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.080 it on the computer and they bring up an hour, 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.600 some random hour of your show and they play it 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.159 and then they'd stop it and and they asked, well, 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.000 why did you say that or what were you trying? 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:58.199 At what point were you trying to make their shock Again, 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.000 they would always pick the one hour where you have 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:05.000 issues in the hour and had mistakes. Yeah, and it's 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.639 very unpredictable. It was always a boon doggle when that happened. 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:13.760 And I have some PTSD from those those air checks 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.040 back in the day. But they don't I don't happen 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.359 knock on wood much these days. Maybe Danny is just 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.960 because we're so good. Maybe that's why it doesn't happen 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:25.639 that much. Yeah, I'm sure that's not the reason. Yeah, exactly, 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.640 it's because of cod now could be. Yeah, well there's 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.359 a positive for the COVID. There's a positive. Now. You 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:33.720 got to mention those little kiddos if you see him again, 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:42.520 that they will only remember about of what you tell them, 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.600 all right. So I always blown away by that that 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:50.720 they've done studies that say people only remember seventeen of 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.679 things that they listened to, that the rest of it 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.280 just gets lost in translation, and people are busy doing 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.399 other stuff. That's wild. And you could tell who the 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.800 little iPad nerds were of the of the four groups, 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:07.399 because one kid named Jackson kept coming up to my 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.640 desk and looking over my shoulder at other kids wave 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:14.200 files and I was like, Man, this kid, I'm gonna 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:16.919 slap him a ten dollar bill later this week and 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:21.360 have him edit the podcast this weekend. Ready to go, Man, 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:23.680 put the kid to work, Come on, get him an internship. 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:29.480 Let's do it. WHOA, Yeah, that's funny. Back to the 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:33.040 nonsense in my world. So Saturday it was a big 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:36.240 travel that I mentioned on Friday that my cousin had COVID. 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.760 I got this ridiculous box with this I don't know 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:41.560 what to do with this mic arm thing. So then 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:45.439 on Saturday we headed northbound and down and it was 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:49.160 remember that Birthday weekend where the Mallarmobile shipped the bed 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.760 there and they have that canceled as we were going 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:56.119 out of town. So this was a temp number two 0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:02.600 up the California coast heading to the Hurst Castle and 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:07.159 had a lengthy trip. I went to Santa Barbara, had 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.640 a nice lunch. I love Santa Barbara. The American Riviera. 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.640 It's if you can't afford to go to the Mediterranean Sea. 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:17.880 It's just like it, except it's in in California. Beautiful. Uh. 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.280 And went in Santa Barbara. You know what street, Danny, 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:21.320 I don't know if you spent a lot of time 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:22.879 in Santa Barbara, what street do you have to go 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.960 to if you're in Santa Barbara. That's right, that's where 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.960 all the actions and so I we were at State Street, 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:33.320 showed down, I had a patty mill and then we 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:36.159 headed over to the McConnell's ice Cream shop because my 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:40.760 wife loves that place. Oh yeah, well local Santa Barbara 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:44.120 ice cream, and so kept going there like waffle walk 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.680 in it does. Yeah, and there's always a line out 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:48.760 the door, no matter when you go, there's always a 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:50.960 line out the door. And it was really busy because 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.719 it was the weekend, so that we kept going, slipped 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:58.040 past Solving, did not go to Solving or Buleton. I 0:20:58.080 --> 0:20:59.920 would have loved to have got my wife not a fan, 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.479 and she she's she was not in the mood. So 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:07.240 we skipped Solving and headed to Santa Maria. Now why 0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:12.880 did I go to Santa Maria to no, something more valuable, 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:18.359 something more expensive than tried tip gas? Because yeah, yeah, 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.760 Costco gas station in Santa Maria, right off the freeway there. 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.159 And uh, the reason I had to get gas is 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:29.320 because I took the gas guzzler, the backup mallardmobile, not 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:33.720 taking a chance on the more fuel efficient car which 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.440 broke down. Because we still haven't gotten fixed. They didn't 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.840 know what exactly was wrong with it. It may or 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:44.520 may not be something with the politic converter that broke. 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:47.840 But but anyway, so we we went and got gas 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:49.720 and I had to make it because the gas station 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:52.680 closes early on Saturday, not as early on Sunday, but 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.560 as Sunday. So we made it there, got to gas 0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:59.480 back in the mallonmobile and then the whis like, well, 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:01.600 i'll go to the each So we we said, okay, 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:03.600 I know the beaches here, so we'll go to Pismo 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:10.359 because Pismos on the way. Santa Maria then Pismo legendary spot. 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:15.560 So we pulled into Pismo and you know how there's 0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:20.720 that cartoon or the the cloud that follows around the 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:25.080 cartoon character were just raining on top of them. Yeah, 0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:28.120 that's Pismo. So we get there and there's a hand 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:32.879 to got a massive fog bank that has landed right 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:36.320 at Pismo because it was like ninety degrees on the highway. 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:40.560 By the time we got the Pismo beach, it was 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:45.120 in the fifties and so was like, wow, that's too cold. 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:47.240 I don't want to go to the US dot beach weather. 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:50.600 So it was more like England. So then we headed 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:53.320 back on the road. We went past San Louis Obispo 0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:56.840 more on that in a minute, and headed to where 0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:03.240 your your loved ones are there any Moral bay? N Yeah, 0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:06.640 I went to the Moral Rock there. Look at our 0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:10.359 lives aligning. That's exactly where my girl's family and she 0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:14.119 and all the kids and cousins are right now. Very cool, 0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:18.160 and it's a beautiful place. There's this massive rocket looks 0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:21.800 like a turtles shell. It's almost six hundred feet tall. 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.840 There's an old nuclear reactor that's not being used anymore 0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:31.280 right now, yes, and right in the mouth of the harbor. 0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:33.879
