And 16 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: people were like, oh man, Danny Jay's back. You know, 17 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: tell you what. Coop deserves a lot of credit, even 18 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: though people love giving him a lot of crap. Because 19 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: you have so many plates spinning at once on your 20 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: overnight show. You gotta keep it going, Daddy. You know, 21 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: it's it's it's always surprised motherfucker. You gotta keep it 22 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: like that, going one thing after another and all that. 23 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: But a lot of moving parts on your show. But 24 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: that's a compliment to your programming. Well, thank you. And 25 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: as you know, Danny, it can get very slow in 26 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: the overnight hours, so we try to keep the ship 27 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: moving and the time does fly. I've noticed the time 28 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: does go by pretty quick. And my only complaint is 29 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: when it came to password, one of the two contestants 30 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: was a slug and we could tell, and you could 31 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: tell that that of putting your name first like always do, 32 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: but my name first, so that he would choose me, 33 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: and sure enough he did, and I got the worst 34 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: partner in the history of password. Well, part of the 35 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: problem was we we actually I saved some more time 36 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: for password because you know, usually I don't Usually I'm like, 37 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: nobody knows how to you know, nobody knows any words. Uh, 38 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: this is a hot mess. You know, it's just it's 39 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: just a disaster. You know, it's like what every week 40 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: it's like. But this week I was like, all right, 41 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: we'll leave a little more time. And then we had 42 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: Chris and Houston if I remember correctly, and then Gordy 43 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: in Waterloo called back using the name Doug from wherever Toronto. Yeah, 44 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: and so that threw us off. We had to hang 45 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: up on him. Then we had to wait for somebody 46 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: else to come on. Then the guy that came on 47 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: was clueless. I don't know what was going on with 48 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: that guy, but but you're right, Danny, I one thing 49 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: I've picked up. I know, there's a few things I 50 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: picked up with ears, but human nature, I could tell 51 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: that guy just was scan in the radio, had no 52 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: idea who I was, had no idea who you were 53 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: the show. He was like, where was he in Boston 54 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: or something like that, I don't know, somewhere somewhere in 55 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: the Northeast. And he he was just like scanning the 56 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: dial and he stumbled on the show and he was bored. 57 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: So I knew he didn't have no he had no 58 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: idea of who we were. He never heard password before. 59 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: He just called up because he had some agenda that 60 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 1: he you know, he wanted to spew a bunch of nonsense. 61 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: So I knew, based on my years of doing this, 62 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: whatever name you say first, most of the time they'll 63 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: pick and if they don't really know the show worked 64 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: out advantage me. Disadvantage. I'm sorry about that. I had 65 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: a good move by you for me. Yeah, but but 66 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: you got to play password. You know, you didn't have anybody, 67 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: you had a cadaver with you, but you got to 68 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: play password. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, all right. 69 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: And this edition of the Fifth Hour on Saturday, the 70 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: Life of Math or the Life of Danny g and 71 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: some of the stories that you know, for what every reason, 72 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: I don't talk about this on the I don't toot 73 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: my own horn on the show.

Uh. 88 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: And I was gonna do a whole rant on the 89 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: Overnight show. I chose to save it for the podcast. 90 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: So this is not really a life of Mallard story. 91 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: Kind of is is a little bit of it that 92 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: I don't know that I've shared before. But as a 93 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: connoisseur of radio, one of the quirky figures in our 94 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: business turned off the mic for the final time. And 95 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: we go to Chicago, the Windy City and one of 96 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: the great towns, Chicago, and a lot of family in 97 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: Chicago from Chicago moved out to California before I was around, 98 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: and I still have family in the Chicago and area. Uh. 99 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: That's where the news came from. Danny. So this this 100 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: radio talker, legendary radio taco named Les Grobstein, and we 101 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: found out he had passed at the age of of 102 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: sixty nine. He was still working on the air in 103 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: chicag Ago. This guy a Chicago original. You know, we 104 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: have Doc Mike that calls the show, and I often 105 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: say that if you cut open Doc Mike, you'll get 106 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: like a deep dish, Chicago pizza or one of those 107 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,799 Speaker 1: Italian sandwiches that they have in Chicago. He's just reeks 108 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: of being Chicago. But so did Less Robsney. And he 109 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: was a radio guy covered sports. You know, it's weird. 110 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: He started at age nineteen. I started in radio and 111 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: age night you were actually younger day here. How old 112 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: were you when you started, uh, the high school radio station? 113 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: I was fourteen? Fourteen? Wow, So I was nineteen when 114 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: I started in in radio right out of high school, 115 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, like the year after that I got into it. 116 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: But this guy started with nineteen. He worked over fifty 117 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: years covering Chicago area sports, professional, college, mostly professional the 118 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: last you know, forty five years or whatever. And you 119 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: know the fact he started as a kid and all 120 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: that stuff. An amazing run and Less Robstey and held 121 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: down the overnight shift at the Score in Cargo, which 122 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: is one of those massive signal on terrestrial radio station 123 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: type deals. I mean, we were on the Score in 124 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: the early days of Fox Sports Radio, and it was amazing. 125 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: The signal went from like Tennessee obviously covered the Upper Midwest, 126 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: but it went to Tennessee and then I forget, but 127 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: it was like way out west, like pretty much blanketed 128 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: most of the country on six seventy on the AM dial, 129 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: The Score. I think they have an FM now too, 130 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: if I'm not not mistaken. But it was a massive thing, 131 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: massive station for terrestrial radio that boomed all over the place. 132 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: And uh, you know the funny story about that. We 133 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: used to be on The Score on Fox doing the 134 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: night programming was on there, Uh, and we got in trouble. 135 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: Doc Mike actually got us in trouble. Um. But the 136 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: big thing was, I don't know if you remember this 137 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: or not, Danny, the Cubby Chubby song, which we'd play 138 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: from time to time. Uh, it was it was it 139 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: was a Chubby Cubby or the Cubby Chubby, which one. 140 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: I think it was the Chubby Cubby. I think that 141 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: was it. I think it was like this. I just 142 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: played it. I've played it for you before when you've 143 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: reminisced over it on the air. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So 144 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: that was the song that got us in trouble for 145 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: whatever reason. And there were a few other um mitigating 146 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: factors that played in that We're out of our control. 147 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: But this guy, he made like a barbershop quartet cub song. 148 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: This is back. It had to be like oh five 149 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: or something. Rememb remember the Cup of the Uh the Bartman. 150 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: Remember Steve Bartman that the kid that messed up the 151 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: Cubs were gonna go to the world. I mean it 152 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: was six somewhere in that period of time. I forget 153 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: what they all run together, but it was a Steve 154 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: Bartman year and we were on there and the Chubby 155 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: Cubby or the Cubby Chubby whatever it was, we played 156 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: that song got in some trouble. But anyway, that's not 157 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: a Cubby Chubby. I just looked it up. Cubby Chubby. 158 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: There you go that it so uh. Think of this 159 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: more like a euloge.

Les 172 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: Grobstein was at Wrigley Field in the early nineteen eighties. 173 00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: It was April twenty nine. Nine. Happens to coincide that 174 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: my birthday. It's not I wasn't born in three, but 175 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: my birthday is on April twenty nine, and I was 176 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: gonna kick out of this. So the Cubs were playing 177 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: the Dodgers, which makes it even better. A right Cubs 178 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: and died. You got a sword on one side. Now, 179 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: the Cubs were being managed by Lee Eliot, and they 180 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: were not playing good baseball. They were not playing good baseball. 181 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: The crowd was very upset. The Cubs got off to 182 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: a five and fourteen start, and the fans at Wrigley 183 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: were just throwing trash on the Cub players because if 184 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: I remember correctly, the locker room in those days was 185 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: out like in center field or something like that. It 186 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: was like they had to walk out to the to 187 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 1: the clubhouse if I remember anyway, for somebody hadn't walk 188 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: out in the outfield and they were just raining down 189 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: like just crap at the ballpark, just like the Cowboys game. Yeah, exactly, 190 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: it was similar. But you know, now everyone freaks out. 191 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: There was no social media in nine three. It was 192 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: you could do whatever you wanted pretty much. It was 193 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: a different world than it is obviously these days, where 194 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: everyone's pearl clutching everything. So then I get to the point, please, 195 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: So Les Grobstein was a radio stringer, a job that 196 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: I had for many years. Would you just a radio 197 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: reporter and that job which doesn't really exist much anymore, 198 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: I think. I mean, I would go to games. I 199 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: would phone in at the top of the hour. I 200 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: would give like a twenty second update. You know, it's 201 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: been Mo'm a Dodger stadium. Blau know it's fourth inning, 202 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: Dodgers lead the Cardinals, you know, five to three, and 203 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: that's it. And uh, and then I'd have to get 204 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: some interviews, and I have to use my tape, my 205 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: my Marants tape recorder to go in the locker room 206 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: and do interviews and and then I would feed it 207 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: on the phone back to whoever I was worried for. 208 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: And so that's the job that West had. But three, 209 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: he's at the Cup game and Lee Elia chose the 210 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: nuclear option. Uh, Danny, he chose the nuclear option. Uh. 211 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: He was not happy. It was bad time for the Cubs, 212 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: bad time for Lee Ilia. And thank god that less 213 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: Robstein happened to be there and had his tape recorder 214 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: and recorded it for posterity's sake. So to honor less Robstein, 215 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: I am now going to play in its entirety no 216 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: bleeps because we're on podcast, right, Danny, we can play 217 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: bad words. So let's just enjoy and celebrate the greatest 218 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: piece of audio art in my life to come out 219 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: of a locker room.

Unfortunately, that's the 248 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: criteria of them. Some fifteen motherfucking percent to come out 249 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: to date baseball. The other eight earning a living take 250 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: more than a five and thirteen or five and fourteen 251 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: to destroying the makeup of this club.

It's unbelievable. It really, it's a 258 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: disheartening fucking situation we're in right now. Five and fourteen 259 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: doesn't negate all that work.

But once we 264 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: hit that fucking groove, it'll flow, and it will flow 265 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: the talents there. I don't want to make any clarantry. 266 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: I'm frustrated. I'll guarantee I'm frustrated. It would be different 267 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: if I walked in this room every day at eight 268 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: starting and saw a bunch of guys. It didn't give 269 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: a shop ship all right. That was the the full lead, 270 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: Hell you're ran. He actually kind of calmed down towards 271 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: the end the first the first minute of that. Oh 272 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: my god, Yeah, unbelievable. That that is Michelangelo. That is 273 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: the Mona Lisa. That is uh, that is insane.

Oh 276 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: my god, he said, it's a playground for the cocksuckers. 277 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: Oh man. Now I remember playing that several times on 278 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: the Ben Mallard Show throughout the years. Obviously tons of leaps. 279 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: I've never heard it unedited before. That was amazing. Uh, 280 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: it's awesome, And almost forty years later, it still is 281 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: the gold standard for a RAM. People talk about Dennis 282 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: Green or Losorda had a bunch back in the day 283 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: and just just amazing, just absolute, really great. And Lee 284 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: Elia is still alive. He's in his mid eighties now 285 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: and he's still around. And the other thing about that 286 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: he did not get fired right away as the cup manager. Today, 287 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: in modern times, if you did what Lee you did, 288 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: you'd be fired immediately because of social media and all that, 289 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: and that people would be upset. But Lee, really I 290 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: believe he lasted another I have to go back and check, 291 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: but I think it was like a couple of months 292 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: or maybe even longer before kept saying five and fourteen, 293 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: So they waited until he was what five and thirty 294 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: one before they fired. Yeah, it's something like that, and 295 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: and and so the other part of the story. Now 296 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: for the rest of the stories, The great late Paul 297 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: Harvey would say radio legend from a different era. So 298 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: I actually had the chance to meet Less Grobstey and 299 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: the guy that just passed away that did record that audio. 300 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: And it was years ago. Was that the NBA Finals 301 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis? That gives you the year the Pacers were 302 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals.

Well, the good 340 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: news is, Danny, that the company is paying me enough. 341 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: We're I'll probably need to be on until I'm seventies. 342 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: So I just want to thank them for that. The 343 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: motivation to continue to work, Danny, it's it's outstaying. So 344 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: now I understand we talked last week somehow Arby's came up. Yeah, 345 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: in the conversation, and you had said that you were 346 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: going to try to find and Arby's near you, the 347 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: home of Where's the Beef for? What? What was their slogan? 348 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: What is the we we have the meats or the meats. Yeah, 349 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: not the beef. The meats. Back in the day when 350 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: we were kids, Wendy's used to say, where's the beef? Yes, yes, 351 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: they had that old woman and she had the disappointed 352 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: look on her face looking at the bun and all 353 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: that stuff. So when you think of Arby's, you think 354 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: of the like the classic roast beef, the curly fries, that, 355 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: but they have a lot of other stuff on their 356 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: menu these days. So you you found how far away 357 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: was the Army's from your house? About a ten minute drive. 358 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: When we talked last week on the podcast, I said 359 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: that I was convinced that they were like a storefront 360 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: for a big drug dealer in because I didn't know 361 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: anybody that ate there, and I hadn't eaten there since 362 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: the late nineties, a couple of decades at least. So 363 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: I got my tender Roni, who was not a fast 364 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: food fan either, is my wife. She didn't like fast food. 365 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: What is it with these women not liking fast food? 366 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: I mean, my god, well, yeah, I couldn't eat it 367 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: every day, dive to time like I my my my 368 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: go to my guilty pleasure if you will, is I 369 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: love like raising Kanes I'll go to Raising that's fast food. 370 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's about it. I like. I like Raising 371 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: Kanes too. You're the reason why I've eaten there. Um, 372 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: you know, but like the junk food of fast food restaurants. 373 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: So you can't really eat that stuff every day? Well 374 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: maybe coope? Can we all know you today? But all right, 375 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: so I stay away from it. It's a treat to 376 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: go to fast food restaurants. So I told my tenderoni, look, 377 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: it's show research. We gotta go check this out and 378 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: take some pictures. We took her daughter doesn't get a 379 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: lot of it, but knows what's good and what's bad. 380 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: So I'm like, I'm a rating from you. We founded 381 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: on Thousand Oaks Boulevard. It looked like this Arby's was 382 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: straight out of the nineties. The tables that we sat 383 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,959 Speaker 1: down at had not been cleaned since n That's unfortunate. 384 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: That is that is that's not what you're looking for. 385 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: It wasn't a good start. But luckily in our car 386 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: we have a pack of the Lysol wipes. Well, is 387 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: it someone there like hit you hit like a buzzer 388 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: supposed somebody supposed to come over like clean it up 389 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: or something that like most fast food restaurants, it's like 390 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: one person clean stuff up, right, maybe pre COVID, but 391 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: now during the past couple of years, the ex uses. Oh, 392 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: because of COVID, we can't clean tables and we can't 393 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: have an employee doing any of that. So there was 394 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: no employee walking around cleaning anything or servicing the customers 395 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: inside where the tables were. Outside where the tables were, 396 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: we we cleaned the table ourselves. And this black cook 397 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: is all over the lysol whites. I mean it literally 398 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: had not been cleaned in years. So we're like, okay, 399 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 1: but you know a lot of people were just there 400 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: was a lot of foot traffic though, people were taking 401 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: their food and leaving, so a lot of people were 402 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: just walking in, grabbing food and going back home. These 403 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: are the days of eating your food at home during COVID. 404 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: Sure do you say euro or gyro? I know a 405 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: lot of people say it differently. Well, you can say 406 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: to either way. I think I think the proper ways, 407 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: Uh what is the proper way euro? Right, That's what 408 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: I was taught. But then even when I was in 409 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: New York visiting, people were calling it a gyro. So yeah, 410 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: I used to say Gyro, but then somebody told me 411 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: what guy. Yeah, it ran into somebody that yelled at 412 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: me and they said, it's not Giro, you stupid American. 413 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: It's yeah, that's the other one, so Guro. But then 414 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: it's like, I thought that was money. Lady was sitting 415 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: out eating one, and I was like, man, that looks good. 416 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: I didn't come to Arties for one of those, but 417 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: I think I'll try that. My TENDERNI ordered a market 418 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: fresh turkey and bacon sandwich which had ranch in it, 419 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: so you'll love that. That's disgusting. Her daughter ordered one 420 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: of the classics. She got a beef and cheddar cheese sandwich. Well, 421 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,959 Speaker 1: she's a purist. She's a she's a purist of the armies, 422 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: which she is. They put it on a nice onion roll. 423 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,239 Speaker 1: We got some crinkle fries, and the daughter also got 424 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: some mac and cheese. Let's see, it was for the 425 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: four of us. There was three of us. She ate 426 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: like two people, um three for the three of us, 427 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: it was twenty four bucks. But that's not horrible for 428 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: these people. That's okay, we get the food problem. She 429 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: opens up her mac and cheese and there is a 430 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: human hair right on top of the mac and cheese. 431 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: You hate to see that. You hate to see that, 432 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: and you hate to eat that. Also, you're like, come on, man. Yeah, 433 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: So we weren't off to the best start. But my 434 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: Tinderoni marched inside and with a soft voice so other 435 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: customers couldn't hear, told the girl what was wrong with 436 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: the mac and cheese. They threw it in the trash can, 437 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: told her they would start another one. So we opened 438 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: up the rest of our food. It was better than 439 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: what I thought. The quality of the ingredients were pretty good. 440 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: The fries were delicious, my eurro was good. The sandwich 441 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: was really good. Uh, the melted sheddar on the beef 442 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: was not a hit with her daughter. And her daughter 443 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: wasn't really a fan of the mac and cheese either, 444 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: because they're trying to do like an uppity mac and 445 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: cheese with the white cheddar. Now, you don't need the 446 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: white cheddar. That's too that's a bridge too far, the 447 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: white cheddar. Keep it keep it simple, stupid, right, the 448 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: kiss method. Keep it simple, stupid. Her daughter was like, 449 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: this tastes like the bac and cheese at Panera Bread 450 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: and she gave a thumbs down on that love the 451 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: fried Oh uh, let's see, she gave it a six. 452 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: Tinderoni gave it a five. I would say I would 453 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: give it a seven because I like the quality of 454 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: the food, the the ingredients that they used in their food. 455 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: The cleanliness of the restaurant gets a minus nine. Back 456 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,479 Speaker 1: it all the way up, all right, And now did 457 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: you consider the There's been a lot of buzz on 458 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: social media in the last couple of weeks. I think, 459 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is why we talked about it, 460 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: but the Diablo chicken sandwich, which is like their big 461 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: gimmick right now. Supposedly it's the spiciest sandwich available at 462 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: a main, mainstream fast food restaurant. And then their whole 463 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: gimmick is they give you like a vanilla shake, like 464 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: a little small vanilla shake. Did you consider doing the Diablo? 465 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: Did you consider going down that road? I did not, 466 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 1: but we did discuss it on the ride over to Arby's. 467 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: In fact, that's how this all came up on the 468 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: mail bag last week was because we had our listener 469 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: asked us if we've ever tried the Hot Nashville. Oh, yes, 470 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: that's right. That and ironically enough, last weekend. I don't 471 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: usually eat late at night because I have to I'm 472 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: on this gazey fasting diet, you know. And but we 473 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: were driving around and my wife said she wanted to eat. 474 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: She wanted me to go with her, and I was like, okay, 475 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: i'll eat, but then I'm not gonna eat on Sunday. 476 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: So I didn't, you know, that's the deal I made 477 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: with I'll eat like at midnight, but I'm not eating tomorrow. 478 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: And so she said, okay, whatever you do, you stupid 479 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: do it everywhere. And so we went out. We found 480 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: a Dave's Hot Chicken, which is like a like an 481 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: one of those uh you know, it's I guess it's 482 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: a chain, but it's a small chain.

But one of the semi radio, 496 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: semi regular radio appearances I did from a parking lot 497 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: at a different Chicken Shack restaurant in in southern California 498 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: last week and I was still battling, as you know, 499 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: my voice, it's most of the way back, I'd say, 500 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: it's about I'm not quite all the way where I 501 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: wanted to be, and hopefully it'll be back back soon. 502 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: So but last weekend it was weird. I got off 503 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: the air on Friday morning and I had this big, 504 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: like coughing fest, and then I messed up my my 505 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: vocal cords because I've been coughing so much, and so 506 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: I was like, oh crap, Like I could not have 507 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: done radio Friday or Friday night or Saturday night. My 508 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: voice was all messed up. And but my buddy Sports 509 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: with Coleman, beloved Baltimore media icon and longtime nemesis of 510 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, the Ravens coach, and so he wanted me 511 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: to come out and talk some NFL playoffs. So when 512 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: Sports with Coleman ask you, you have to accept. So 513 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: I said, I'll do it and popped on the radio 514 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: in Baltimore and the interview was scheduled for five forty 515 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: I have l a time, okay, And I had planned 516 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: the schedule so i'd have things to do and then 517 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: that would, you know, kind of wrap it up. But 518 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: I got done with the stuff I had planned with 519 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: my wife earlier, and then my schedule got all wong 520 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,239 Speaker 1: because I got everything done. And then, you know, as 521 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: a result, my wife wanted to go eat a little earlier, 522 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: and I said, I don't want to eat until I 523 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: get this thing done. You know whatever. It was my 524 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: my neurosis, and she asked if I could just do 525 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: the interview earlier. I said, well, no, that's not That's 526 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: not how it word. When you're scheduled to do an interview, 527 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: you can't say, hey, uh, let's do it at a 528 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: different time at the last minute. That's rude. You're not 529 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: allowed to do that. So I explained to her, and 530 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: she like, all right, whatever, so we drove to the 531 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: chicken shack that we were gonna have uh lunch slash 532 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: dinner at and uh anyway, I sat in the car. 533 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: My wife went out and ordered the food and went 534 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: to the restaurant, and I sat there and barked and 535 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: bloviated into the phone in my car about the NFL 536 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: playoffs and all that stuff, and uh, we did the 537 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: whole thing. But I did get a shot and I'm 538 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: very proud of this from O's two F's or from 539 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: f st Os. I did get a shot in at 540 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Orioles on Baltimore Radio. So I felt good 541 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: at that from OS to FS because yeah, they're raising 542 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: the fences at the iconic Camden Yards, which has been 543 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: around a while now, and I ripped I would a joke. 544 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: I ripped him to me, that's one of the cathedrals 545 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: of baseball, and you're breaking up concrete because you're you 546 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: can't find a good starting pitcher or you can't find 547 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: a guy that can hit the ball to the moon. 548 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: And it's a joke. Right as I was taking it, 549 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: I felt good to rip them on Baltimore Radio. So 550 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: I was very proud of myself. Danny that's a real story. 551 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: They were moving their fences back. Yeah, you can look 552 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: it up. Not a lot of people talking about it 553 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: because it's kind more of a Baltimore local Baltimore story. 554 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: But if somebody should have said, no, no, don't do that, 555 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you what's going on with you? 556 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: What a bunch of pussies? Yes right, not pussy willows. 557 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: They're pussies. Changed there from the orioles to the pussies. 558 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: They should imagine what their logo will be. I have 559 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: no idea unbelievable willows. Yeah, exactly, all right, I think 560 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: we'll put the baby to bed. We got a big 561 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: mail bag day fighting about that and the man that 562 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: saved the mail bag that'll be on the Sunday podcast. 563 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: We almost had no Sunday podcast. I got excited, Danny, 564 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: I'll tell the story on the Sunday podcast. But I 565 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: was like, oh man, we can. We have to do 566 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: two podcasts. We don't have to worry about the Sunday podcast. 567 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: And then the very last minute, all of a sudden, 568 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: it was like, oh man, it's like, oh, I guess 569 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: we have to now do the podcast.
