Speaker 1: they are that come up with these these dopey holidays.
Speaker 1: But that's the day today. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. It's also
Speaker 1: I know, wait a second, did we just become best friends? Well,

Speaker 1: It's international nint Knit in Public Day, k n I
Speaker 1: t Nita, Yes, knit in public.
Speaker 3: When you think about hardened criminals serving time behind bars,
Speaker 3: you probably don't think about knitting.
Speaker 1: Is that something you're supposed to keep private? Is that
Speaker 1: something you don't want? It probably is you don't to
Speaker 1: let people know that you're a knitter man. Okay, wonderful.
Speaker 1: It's also World Ocean's Day, So dive right in, Danny,
Speaker 1: jump out in that Pacific ocean and celebrate the ocean
Speaker 1: currents that are flowing around us at all times. But
Speaker 1: on this podcast here, on this Saturday, we've got Murphy's
Speaker 1: Law activated, eight years of bad luck of the idiom
Speaker 1: of the week. We have some other things we'll get
Speaker 1: to as well, but we'll start with this. So I
Speaker 1: mentioned on the Friday podcast that I lost a friend
Speaker 1: of mine, TJ. Simers, who was a great media guy,
Speaker 1: beloved father, grandfather, all that stuff. TJ died of brain cancer.
Speaker 1: So I want to give you a little backstory, and
Speaker 1: of course this is just kind of related how everything
Speaker 1: comes together. I got a message on Friday night, I
Speaker 1: think it was Friday night late that a friend from
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radios passed. His mother had passed away. And
Speaker 1: this is somebody that we worked together with, me and
Speaker 1: Looney Money, great guy, one of our favorite people in radio.
Speaker 1: And keep in mind, this person left Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: over fifteen years ago. I think it's been almost seventeen
Speaker 1: years since they left the company, and yet we still
Speaker 1: have this bond, you know. And it's like when you
Speaker 1: break bread or you do radio together, it goes one
Speaker 1: of two ways. Either you hate him or you love
Speaker 1: them for life. Right, it is one of two ways.
Speaker 1: And so this is not someone that I talk to
Speaker 1: every day, and I don't. I really haven't seen the
Speaker 1: person in years, but we're still friends, right, And so
Speaker 1: I was like, I know what it's like to lose
Speaker 1: a mom, and I know how terrible that is, and
Speaker 1: so I wanted to show my support. And so what fine,
Speaker 1: I was like, I'll go I get to see Loony,
Speaker 1: you know, show my love to my friend. Whose mom
Speaker 1: passed away. And so I drove all the way from
Speaker 1: where I live in the north Woods, Dandy to the
Speaker 1: cemetery was in Mission Hills in the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 3: That's four hours in traffic.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean I had to get up so f
Speaker 1: and early. But yes, what are you gonna do. It's
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. You want to show support,
Speaker 1: you gotta do it. So I did it fine. I'm
Speaker 1: not even complaining about that. In fact, I think I
Speaker 1: have relatives who were buried in that cemetery. More on
Speaker 1: that in a minute. So I get out there and
Speaker 1: this is classic Looney. So he tells me that the
Speaker 1: service is at noon. So I get out there at
Speaker 1: like eleven thirty. Tom Looney owns me I'm his bitch, clearly,
Speaker 1: idd I think it was, or you know, he said
Speaker 1: twelve thirty, and I got there at noon. I got
Speaker 1: there at noon, so you were a half hour early. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I get there and there's no one here. I'm like,
Speaker 1: did I just get punked?
Speaker 3: Did?
Speaker 1: Because I didn't want to announce in case I didn't
Speaker 1: make it. I wasn't sure I was going to be
Speaker 1: able to make it because it's very hard for me
Speaker 1: to get up early. You know what that's like, Danny.
Speaker 1: When you work late at night, it's not the easiest
Speaker 1: thing to adjust your schedule. So I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'll me. I didn't want to say
Speaker 1: anything that I was going to be there, not that
Speaker 1: my appearance would matter at all, but I just like, Okay.
Speaker 1: So I get there at noon for a twelve thirty service,
Speaker 1: and then I find out the service is actually at
Speaker 1: like one thirty. Cloney gave me the wrong time, So
Speaker 1: now I have an hour to kill at a cemetery
Speaker 1: surrounded by people there people have already been killed. Oh
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, O MG. Right, So I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is great. Just what I wanted to do on
Speaker 1: my morning off is sitting in a good damn cemetery
Speaker 1: with a bunch of people that have checked out. So fortunately,
Speaker 1: the gentleman who I wanted to show my support to,
Speaker 1: he actually happened to park next to me, and he
Speaker 1: walked over and gave me this quizzical look, like what
Speaker 1: are you doing here? Why you here so early? It
Speaker 1: was that kind of thing.
Speaker 3: He's like, there's no party set up or anything like, yeah,
Speaker 3: to help me set up balloons and stuff that's going
Speaker 3: on here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we we caught up, and uh, it was
Speaker 1: it was great and he actually I don't even know
Speaker 1: if this guy worked at Fox Sports Radio when you
Speaker 1: were there, Danny. I think you were there after he
Speaker 1: was here, but he left and worked with Bill O'Reilly,
Speaker 1: of all people, he went into political radio and then
Speaker 1: became one of the great strategical minds. I always rip analytics,
Speaker 1: but this guy political analytics one of the legends. I'm
Speaker 1: not kidding in Washington, d C. He is credited. And
Speaker 1: while I might disagree or you know, I don't get
Speaker 1: it's not political on myn not political then, but podcast
Speaker 1: numbers go down to rating. But he has been credited
Speaker 1: because of analytics helping to get Barack Obama elected president.
Speaker 1: That he came up with a algorhythm on polling and whatnot.
Speaker 1: And I don't even know exactly what went into it.
Speaker 1: All I know is politicians, political people love this guy, right,
Speaker 1: So it was his mom that passed away.
Speaker 3: Whatever.
Speaker 1: Fine, So I'm there and and Looney shows up and
Speaker 1: we're catching up. I hadn't seen Loony since the TV show.
Speaker 1: We were supposed to go out to dinner. He canceled
Speaker 1: one time, then I canceled, and we just haven't. We
Speaker 1: text all the time. We talked, but we haven't physically
Speaker 1: been in the same room since the final episode of
Speaker 1: the TV show back before the Super Bowl. So I
Speaker 1: caught up with him and then I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: some other some other people that I recognized that from
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio pass that were there. That was kind
Speaker 1: of cool. I feel odd dropping names, though, Danny. It
Speaker 1: was at a funeral, so I don't know that I
Speaker 1: should really drop names that would be inappropriate, right, That
Speaker 1: would be wrong to drop names.
Speaker 3: They're right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well Looney was there. Dan Byer showed up.
Speaker 1: How about that Dan Byer, Fox Sports Radios. Dan Byer
Speaker 1: was there. One of our old producers who now works
Speaker 1: for the NBA Radio was was there as well.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Andrew Siciliano from our old buddy who's yeah yeah, let
Speaker 1: go by NFL Network and he did the Red Zone
Speaker 1: show for years on Direct TV.
Speaker 3: Andrew, I love you, but your contract's not in our
Speaker 3: current budget.
Speaker 1: So it was great to see these people, you know,
Speaker 1: not the greatest of situations, obviously, and it was a
Speaker 1: very nice, very emotional ceremony. I learned a lot about
Speaker 1: my friend's mom. I'd never met her, and I learned
Speaker 1: a lot about her life and how, you know, the
Speaker 1: great things she did and how wonderful she was moving
Speaker 1: all over the country. And it was just a you know,
Speaker 1: it was it was a very emotional day and and
Speaker 1: it was it was it was cool to be there
Speaker 1: and to show support. Cool so right word, But it
Speaker 1: was just I felt like it was important to be there,
Speaker 1: and so I was happy that I was able to
Speaker 1: make it. Uh, we finished up with the the service,
Speaker 1: and then this is not stupid, I am okay, I
Speaker 1: swear I had been here before. For I think my
Speaker 1: uncle and my grandfather are buried in this in the cemetery.
Speaker 1: It's a massive cemetery in Mission Hills. It is humongous, right,
Speaker 1: So I went on their website. I was like, maybe
Speaker 1: I could look up a grave, like they had a database,
Speaker 1: because I'm not going to be able to find a grave.
Speaker 1: So I was like, man, I wonder to show my respects.
Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm not probably not gonna be here again
Speaker 1: for a while if ever. So I go on their
Speaker 1: website and I could not find a database of where
Speaker 1: to locate people that are there hanging out in the
Speaker 1: ground forever. So then I was like, in my head,
Speaker 1: I remember being here at at the cemetery for my
Speaker 1: uncle's funeral, which was like seven years ago. My uncle
Speaker 1: Harvey passed away and he was buried there in that cemetery,
Speaker 1: and I remember it was on a hill. There was
Speaker 1: a tree. So I drove down and I see a
Speaker 1: hill with a tree. I'm thinking, well, maybe that's it.
Speaker 1: So I park my car. There's no one else in
Speaker 1: this part of the cemetery, and I'm now walking to
Speaker 1: try to find my uncle's grave and my grandfather's grave.
Speaker 3: You had two hours to look.
Speaker 1: I'm walking around, right, and I couldn't find it, and
Speaker 1: I'm kind of getting depressed. Any I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking at a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of nameplates and a lot of lives and a lot
Speaker 1: of people that have come and gone and that's it.
Speaker 1: It's over, and you know, people that died years ago.
Speaker 1: And it's an old, older cemetery, that part of the cemetery,
Speaker 1: and uh, but I never did find it, and you know,
Speaker 1: like whatever. So then I get in the car and
Speaker 1: I got a long drive. As you know, Danny you
Speaker 1: mentioned four hours Mission Hills to the north Woods. There's
Speaker 1: no quick way to get there. So I'm driving.
Speaker 3: I'm driving.
Speaker 1: I'm driving. It's bumpered, a bumper, to bumpered, A bumper,
Speaker 1: A bumper, A bumper, a bumper, And I mean, wow,
Speaker 1: this is great. And I had to get back because
Speaker 1: I had to get ready for the show. We work
Speaker 1: Sunday night into Monday morning, and that's the beginning.
Speaker 3: Of my work week.
Speaker 1: So how to get back. So I'm driving. We get
Speaker 1: past the seven to ten on the five South and
Speaker 1: we're turning right in front of Atlantic. The road kind
Speaker 1: of turns a little bit and traffic had picked up,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it stops. And because I'm
Speaker 1: paying attention and not on my phone, I'm able to
Speaker 1: stop my car. I stopped boom, just a couple of
Speaker 1: inches away from the car in front of me.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: But then I know there's cars behind me.
Speaker 3: Oh no.
Speaker 1: So I look in my rear room mirror and this
Speaker 1: this like Nissan, I think it was a Nissan, might
Speaker 1: have been a toilet. This guy behind me, he pumps
Speaker 1: on the brakes and he stopped just inches from my car.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I take a little bit of a
Speaker 1: deep breath. But wait a minute, there's another car, this truck,
Speaker 1: it's like a Toyota truck, a forerunner. It doesn't stop.
Speaker 1: It hits the car behind me. And what happens if
Speaker 1: you hit a car and that car, what does that
Speaker 1: car do, Danny, is they go forward and backwards.
Speaker 3: Domino motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right into my car. Kubboom, just like that. So
Speaker 1: on my way back from a funeral, I get rear
Speaker 1: ended and my car there was a lot of personal
Speaker 1: Well some people would like that on the whip. I
Speaker 1: was more concerned about him giving me a double fish. Anyway,
Speaker 1: my car ended up having back end damage. It was
Speaker 1: still drivable, but made a lot of weird noises, a
Speaker 1: lot of noises, but it was driving. The car behind
Speaker 1: me was total.
Speaker 3: You just got done on this podcast telling the story
Speaker 3: about the tire blow.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, my wife is driving. This was me driving
Speaker 1: this time. So we were to get off ilmost got
Speaker 1: hit twice trying to get off. I was in the
Speaker 1: number two lane and I had to get over two
Speaker 1: lanes to get off to the side of the road.
Speaker 1: Because they tell you when you get into a minor
Speaker 1: accident at the time, I thought it was a minor accident.
Speaker 1: I thought I had just gotten rear ended, and I
Speaker 1: knew it was a chain reaction thing, but I didn't
Speaker 1: think it was that bad. It wasn't until we pulled
Speaker 1: over that I saw the car behind me had been totaled.
Speaker 1: That it was It was completely that was the lights
Speaker 1: out for that car. And we're exchanging information on the
Speaker 1: side of the road, you know, and the one guy,
Speaker 1: the guy in the truck was a younger dude, and
Speaker 1: he had never been in an accident before, and he
Speaker 1: was freaking out, you know that first time you're in
Speaker 1: an accident, Danny, and you're like, oh my god, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like the worst, you know. And then I felt
Speaker 1: bad for the guy behind me because I saw him
Speaker 1: stop in time, like he stopped and you know, he
Speaker 1: did the right thing, and he still got, you know, hit. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we exchanged information, so I then get back in the car.
Speaker 1: I'm about to turn out onto the highway, get out
Speaker 1: on the car and I turned. I took my phone on,
Speaker 1: I look at my text and that at that moment,
Speaker 1: I get a text TJ has just died. My friend
Speaker 1: who had just seen that previous Tuesday, TJ. Simon. So
Speaker 1: this is like Murphy's law. I mean, I I'm at
Speaker 1: a funeral, which is fine. I felt like it was
Speaker 1: a good mitzvah whatever. And then I get to pressed
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at all these gravestones. I then get
Speaker 1: in the car, get an accident, and then get back
Speaker 1: in the car and find out. You know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I knew he was gonna die, but I was hoping
Speaker 1: he would last a few more months.
Speaker 3: And then the dark cloud hanging right above you and
Speaker 3: only you started pouring.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Danny, it was one of those It
Speaker 1: was one of those days. But hey, you know, live
Speaker 1: and well, and the car is in the shop and
Speaker 1: I'm driving a rental with South Dakota plates right now.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited about that. Just a random rental car
Speaker 1: that I have, and.
Speaker 3: It won't be targeted by LAPD and whatsoever. No, not
Speaker 3: at all. No, No, what are you doing? You loser?
Speaker 1: Are you who's part of tone stranger? So that's my
Speaker 1: Murphy's law?
Speaker 3: Are you doing in la drug dealer?
Speaker 1: No good deed goes unpunished, Danny, But hey, it could
Speaker 1: be worse. You could have eight years of bad luck.
Speaker 1: That could that could be worse.
Speaker 3: It sounds like this is year one for you. Oh man, Yeah,
Speaker 3: so this involves a car as well. I'm driving home
Speaker 3: this past Monday. It was a rough, little bit of
Speaker 3: a rough start to the week for me. The radio
Speaker 3: show was fun, but you know when your body and
Speaker 3: I'm not a garlic dude like you, but when you
Speaker 3: could tell your body is fighting something off. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: you you This had been like going for four days
Speaker 3: and over the weekend I slept extra feel better and
Speaker 3: over it before I went back to work on Monday.
Speaker 3: So Monday afternoon, I'm at work. I'm fine. I'm a
Speaker 3: little bit out of it. When I was driving home,
Speaker 3: I was feeling like, man, I got to get back
Speaker 3: to bed so I can be perfect by Tuesday. So
Speaker 3: I pull into our We're rich, me and my wife.
Speaker 3: As you know, all people in radio are rich, clearly wrong,
Speaker 3: but we have town.
Speaker 1: You're an important person, you're a legend.
Speaker 3: You're a radio legend, Danny who We live in townhomes
Speaker 3: in LA. You kind of are rich. If you're in
Speaker 3: a townhome. We're grandfathered into this one. Thank god. There
Speaker 3: are garages. I don't know if you know how townhomes are,
Speaker 3: but there's garages right underneath the townhouse. This guy next
Speaker 3: door to us, he's got his garage open. We know
Speaker 3: this guy well. The walls are thick. Thank god. We
Speaker 3: don't hear him or his wife or his drum set.
Speaker 3: He's a drummer by profession, goes from gig to gig.
Speaker 3: We see him with his drums and stuff. He's pimped
Speaker 3: out his garage. Have you ever seen any of your
Speaker 3: neighbors ben do a project where they put like the
Speaker 3: fancy flooring in their garage and the big mirrors on
Speaker 3: their walls.
Speaker 1: And no, I've seen it on TV. I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1: I think in this neighborhood where I'm at, my neighbor
Speaker 1: has like a treadmill in his garage.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought that up that you've seen it
Speaker 3: on TV. Same our garage. Oh my god, it's been
Speaker 3: an ongoing project for me for two years. I'm lucky
Speaker 3: to like not have rats and leaves and dead mice
Speaker 3: in my garage. This guy, his garage looks like it
Speaker 3: should be on HGTV. So I pull in. He's got
Speaker 3: two huge mirrors that and I don't know if he's
Speaker 3: gonna put some gym equipment in there or what? His
Speaker 3: garage doors open a lot. The dry wall got redone
Speaker 3: and one huge circle mirror. Now right outside his garage
Speaker 3: were two huge rectangular mirrors that I'm guessing he's gonna
Speaker 3: put on both sides of the walls in there. I
Speaker 3: have to be careful because I have to drive all
Speaker 3: the way to the left near his garage to get
Speaker 3: the right angle, because he's got a long front nose.
Speaker 3: My car does big nose, And.
Speaker 1: I'm offensive that you were talking about you that I'm triggered, Danny,
Speaker 1: how dare you but talk about the schnazola like that?
Speaker 3: Do you? But it's a it's a very manly nose,
Speaker 3: all right. It's a strong nose.
Speaker 1: It's a sexy nose that other women who are into nose.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a muscle car.
Speaker 1: Are women turned on by noses? Is there a subset
Speaker 1: of women that look for a man?
Speaker 3: Probably? Probably? Yeah, if it's a strong looking nose.
Speaker 1: I was attracted to the giant metal cock.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: So the angle I'm trying to take or I need
Speaker 3: to take into this parking space, I'm always about to
Speaker 3: clip his garage to the left of me, so I
Speaker 3: had to be super careful because I just about clocked
Speaker 3: his two mirrors that were leaning up against the side
Speaker 3: by his garage. I look back, he's standing there and
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh shit, because he saw me almost take
Speaker 3: his mirrors out. I park and I get out. I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh man, I'm sorry. I you know I have to
Speaker 3: get close to your garage like that to be able
Speaker 3: to turn it. And he's like, oh, no, worries, and
Speaker 3: I get it. I understand. And right as he's saying this,
Speaker 3: he knocks one of the two mirrors to the ground.
Speaker 3: It shatters in pieces, big sharp shards flying at his feet.
Speaker 3: I felt like it was partly my fault. I don't
Speaker 3: know why, because I'm not the one that did that. Yes,
Speaker 3: I almost hit the mirrors, and I was talking to
Speaker 3: him about that, but clumsily he knocked the two that
Speaker 3: were leaning one stage, the one closest to the garage
Speaker 3: state the one leaning on the other one is the
Speaker 3: one that hit the ground and broke into a million pieces.
Speaker 3: So I go over. I'm trying to help him. He's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: don't touch any of these sharp glass pieces leaves. He
Speaker 3: comes back. He's got these like garden gloves on. He's
Speaker 3: trying to get these pieces off the ground. I couldn't
Speaker 3: help but think, Ben, if he has eight years of
Speaker 3: bad luck over this, do I inherit some of it? Well?
Speaker 1: No, but he lives right there. You're gonna see it,
Speaker 1: assuming you're not gonna move. You said your grandfather in
Speaker 1: so I mean at least for a couple of years,
Speaker 1: you're gonna Yes, his bad luck is going to be
Speaker 1: your bad luck?
Speaker 3: Am I an accessory to the crime? You are?
Speaker 1: Exactly? Man?
Speaker 3: I felt so. I felt so bad. He was out
Speaker 3: there for a good hour picking up all the glass.
Speaker 1: Was he cursing your name under his breath as well?
Speaker 3: No, he's a nice guy. He was still nice and everything,
Speaker 3: but I could tell he was frustrated. I think he
Speaker 3: might have felt better had I just crashed into that mirror,
Speaker 3: you know, right, because then he could have blamed somebody
Speaker 3: instead of himself.
Speaker 1: Well, now, who's who replaces that? He's going to have to?
Speaker 3: You're not really Yeah, I didn't do it. He knocked
Speaker 3: into it.
Speaker 1: I mean he did it, so you're not worry about that.
Speaker 3: But wow, all right for christ Mns, I'll get him
Speaker 3: like a handmare.
Speaker 1: Sorry about the mirror. You know, here's a little head. Yeah,
Speaker 1: here's one. You know, you don't need that big one.
Speaker 3: You can hold this on mirror, mirror on the wall.
Speaker 3: Who's the clumsiest of them all?
Speaker 1: Exactly? Time now for the idiom of the week.
Speaker 3: Idiom of the week.
Speaker 1: And this also oh by request, our friend Angelina, the
Speaker 1: lovely Angelina met her at the Mallor meet and greet
Speaker 1: in Minnesota.
Speaker 3: She was very kind.
Speaker 1: She dragged along some of her friends who aren't listeners
Speaker 1: of the show, but she wanted them to come and
Speaker 1: be part of the event, and we thank her for that.
Speaker 1: That was awesome. But it was great to meet her.
Speaker 1: But she lives, I would say she lives twin cities adjacent.
Speaker 1: How about that twin cities adjacent. Yes, And she writes,
Speaker 1: and she wants to know the origin of egg on
Speaker 1: the face, Like egg on the face. You know you
Speaker 1: get that egg on the face.
Speaker 3: So you have egg on your face?
Speaker 1: Radio hosts, Yeah, take that, radio boy, get a napkin
Speaker 1: a radio boy. So there's a couple theories on the
Speaker 1: origin of egg on the face Angelina. The one that
Speaker 1: seems the most likely actually goes back to farming, say, why, yeah, farming,
Speaker 1: This is wild. So I'm not a farmer, but I
Speaker 1: play on the radio. So from what I have read
Speaker 1: doing some research on this, chickens normally, even though they
Speaker 1: like to eat a lot of things, they do not
Speaker 1: eat their own eggs. That would be wrong to eat
Speaker 1: their own eggs. But occasionally there will be one rogue
Speaker 1: chicken that will say, you know, I'm hungry. I would
Speaker 1: like to eat my eggs. So they start eating their eggs.
Speaker 1: It happens every once in a while. It's an anomaly.
Speaker 1: And once the chicken has tasted the contents of eggs,
Speaker 1: they continue to eat eggs, so they become a liability.
Speaker 3: It's like a tiger tasting human and then they get
Speaker 3: a taste for it and then they just start hunting humans.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, or a bear or whatever. So at that point,
Speaker 1: that chicken that likes eating eggs is costing the farmer money.
Speaker 1: It's a liability, and so the chicken. What do you
Speaker 1: think happens with the chicken? The chicken ends up dinner
Speaker 1: for the farmer. But the evidence, the way the farmer
Speaker 1: knows that which chicken is the one eating the eggs
Speaker 1: is because they literally have egg stuck on their face.
Speaker 3: Ah, that's nasty.
Speaker 1: So caught with egg on your face is it's like
Speaker 1: being caught red handed. But the more modern version that
Speaker 1: does not involve farming.
Speaker 3: For angelina embryo on the face.
Speaker 1: Well, it depends what part of the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 1: Could be something else there, Danny or in Chatsworth. But anyway,
Speaker 1: in the in the eight starter, Sauce saw this white
Speaker 1: thing flying at my face. In the eighteen forties, the
Speaker 1: lower class would go to the vaudevillian theaters and if
Speaker 1: they didn't like the show, they would throw tomatoes and
Speaker 1: eggs at the actors, and every once in a while
Speaker 1: someone would get hit in the face with an egg.
Speaker 3: That is awesome, that needs to be brought back. Can
Speaker 3: you match if they did that today?
Speaker 1: These athletes in particular, who complain about everything, it's one
Speaker 1: hardship after another. And if you started having eggs chucked
Speaker 1: from the upper balcony, oh man, man, would that be
Speaker 1: something anyway? So that's the main version, and then there's
Speaker 1: others involving people that are just disheveled when they eat,
Speaker 1: and you know you're at at a restaurant, you're eating
Speaker 1: your omelet and you get little piece of eggs stuck
Speaker 1: to your face and all that, and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: is that what are you doing? What's up with that?
Speaker 1: I don't understand? So that is the idiom of the week,
Speaker 1: egg on the face. Thanks to the friend of the show,
Speaker 1: our friend Angelina for recommending that. If you would like
Speaker 1: to recommend a idiom phrase slogan and you want me
Speaker 1: to do a little deep dive in on that on
Speaker 1: the dark web and find out where it all came from,
Speaker 1: you can contact me any time you want. You can
Speaker 1: reach out, scream, shout all that Real fifth Hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dive. That's real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: All letters, no numbers. And that's the same email address
Speaker 1: for the mail bag. It's the same one we use
Speaker 1: for the mail bag on Sunday. So you can send
Speaker 1: that in as well and we'll get out on that.
Speaker 1: Anything else you want to promote Danny anting at all
Speaker 1: on this lovely Saturday in June.
Speaker 3: I would love to read some new reviews, some five
Speaker 3: star reviews on Apple's podcast page for the show.
Speaker 1: That would be nice, Yeah, that would be nice, And
Speaker 1: how can we get those reviews, Danny, Well, how would
Speaker 1: that work?
Speaker 3: Just go to the description of this very podcast. You'll
Speaker 3: see the link. Click on it. It has you make
Speaker 3: a user name and then hit the five stars, write
Speaker 3: a review. We'll pat you on the back and mail
Speaker 3: you out a bunch of nothing. What was that prize
Speaker 3: used to give out on.
Speaker 1: Those ohime, a lifetime supply nothing And whenever you want nothing,
Speaker 1: contact us. We'll send you nothing. And then also a
Speaker 1: round trip to nowhere, we'll send you nowhere. So whenever
Speaker 1: you want to go nowhere, we'll send you nowhere. We've
Speaker 1: got you covered on that, and that's void. Once they
Speaker 1: build an air in nowhere, Oklahoma, then that prize is void.
Speaker 1: But up until then, we'll send you to nowhere, absolutely nowhere,
Speaker 1: right there, And.
Speaker 3: Thousands of people are running to the Apple podcast page
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, And I do want you to know that
Speaker 1: this is episode now seven hundred and one. Friday was
Speaker 1: our seventh hundredth episodes. Damn now a lot of those are.
Speaker 3: With you, Danny.
Speaker 1: I started this with gag on back and I can't
Speaker 1: believe there have been seven hundred of these shows. Wow,
Speaker 1: I can. It feels like there's three thousand of them,
Speaker 1: But that's pretty crazy. It's only a couple days a week.
Speaker 1: That we originally did it one day a week, and
Speaker 1: then we moved it to a couple days, and then
Speaker 1: we did three days, which is what we've done the
Speaker 1: last few years. But still seven hundred episodes and only
Speaker 1: a few each week. So but time flies, man, just
Speaker 1: keeps adding up. We'll get out on that, Danny. Anything
Speaker 1: special today? You got going on? Anything you want to
Speaker 1: promote here on a Saturday, Any appearances, any promotion you
Speaker 1: have anything?
Speaker 3: Oh dude, we're totally adulting today. The past few days
Speaker 3: we put together some yard sale stuff because my Wifey's
Speaker 3: aunt is having a yard sale in Anaheim, California, So
Speaker 3: we're gonna get like the Disneyland tourists she doesn't live
Speaker 3: far from the park, hopefully to buy our old crap
Speaker 3: and give us some decent money for the stuff that
Speaker 3: we got out of closets in the garage. We decluttered.
Speaker 1: That's very grown up of you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it's gonna be my very first yard sale
Speaker 3: as an adult.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna put price tags on everything? Or are
Speaker 1: you just gonna have you?
Speaker 3: I don't know. Hopefully that's not my department. I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna count the money.
Speaker 1: A lot of work yard.
Speaker 3: Count all the quarters.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other thing too, about I had a guy
Speaker 1: in my neighborhood that explained to me how to properly
Speaker 1: do a garage sale and what he would do after
Speaker 1: the election. The law, at least in the town that
Speaker 1: I live in, I think this is most places. If
Speaker 1: the politician, you know those election signs they by the
Speaker 1: side of the road, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. If they
Speaker 1: don't pick them up within like two days after the election,
Speaker 1: anybody can take them. They're free to take. And he
Speaker 1: would take those election signs and then put posterboard over
Speaker 1: them saying, you know, garage sale with an arrow pointing,
Speaker 1: and he'd have like five or six of them, and
Speaker 1: he'd put them all over the neighborhood, directing people from
Speaker 1: all the different streets to where his garage sale was.
Speaker 1: Because people drive around on Saturday morning, yeah, and Sunday
Speaker 1: morning looking for those things, and they're not really advertised,
Speaker 1: so you just kind of have to look and for
Speaker 1: the signs and stuff like that. Hat but he hit
Speaker 1: it all. And this guy was like a boss did
Speaker 1: he would put like price tags on everything, like he
Speaker 1: spent so many hours to put this thing together to
Speaker 1: make very little money. I'm sure right he had a
Speaker 1: lot of money, but the effort was it was like
Speaker 1: he was running Walmart.
Speaker 3: My mom would have fell right into that guy's trap,
Speaker 3: because she would wake her butt up early on Saturday
Speaker 3: mornings and drive around the neighborhoods looking for these stupid sales,
Speaker 3: and she would bring crap home and add it to
Speaker 3: the other crap she had in the garage just because
Speaker 3: she said she negotiated a great deal on it.
Speaker 1: And then every once in a while, someone will buy
Speaker 1: something in a garage sale that goes back to like
Speaker 1: the bronze age. Oh yeah right, and you're like.
Speaker 3: They wind up on the antique road Show. I got
Speaker 3: this for four dollars at a yard sale, and that's
Speaker 3: worth forty five thousand.
Speaker 1: Dollars exactly exactly. And my theory is the same as
Speaker 1: the person hits the eighteen parlay that they promote that.
Speaker 1: The people that are in big garage I call it
Speaker 1: big garage. The people that do the big yard sales
Speaker 1: I call big garage. They promote that because they want
Speaker 1: people to keep buying their crap at garage sales. Much
Speaker 1: like the person that hits the eighteen parlay. They know
Speaker 1: that there'll be ten million people that don't hit the
Speaker 1: eighteen parlay, so in the end they'll come out ahead,
Speaker 1: they'll come out head. I have a wonderful rest of
Speaker 1: your Saturday. Here, you got the mail bag on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Can't wait for that. Always a lot of fun. And
Speaker 1: maybe we'll do some pop goes to the culture then.
Speaker 1: But that's it for now and we'll talk to you
Speaker 1: tomorrow later.
