<v Speaker 1>You want to thank the great Peter Brown who joined

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.640

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>love Peter. I know his phone sucked, but it was

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>great hearing him and love to get him on again.

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Be and Peter should be working somewhere. I would love

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>to see him do a show somewhere because I would

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I would listen because Peter is good. He is good

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.959
<v Speaker 1>at radio. We are joined yet again by someone who

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>would love to be at the level Peter Brown was

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>at David Gascon, who's right over there, and he's making

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.959
<v Speaker 1>his way to the microphone. Here, I am, I'm here.

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 1>After that nice, pleasant introduction, I really appreciate. Well, what

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>was wrong with that? And that was a fine introduction,

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>But it's not shitty you are? I mean, full disclosure,

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>full disclosure. So we were going back and forth, and

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I told you Guesstcon, I said, just for you listening.

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I told Guesscon, I said, listen, I got a big

0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>name guest for this week. And then I told you

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>who it was, and you then read me the riot act.

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who it is. Guy. You were so

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 1>uneducated on Peter Brown. It's a bad job by you.

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>You wanted to put some political guy on. What's up

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>with that? I I didn't know who we were going

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>to chat with today. I told you, and then you

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>were all flustered. Well, I know, I wasn't flustered. I

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't know who he was. Well that's what I'm saying.

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is a bad job by you. You

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>work in radio. You work in radio, you should know

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the legends of the business. But that doesn't count. I

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't know who Mike North was before I got to Fox.

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.959
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know who you were until I got to Fox. See,

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>that's a bad job by you, because I that's we're

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>different that way. Like I always want to know in

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>my profession, who were the top people? Who do I

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.920
<v Speaker 1>need to aspire to be and be better than you?

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>This is about it. This is about ambition. You are,

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:48.080
<v Speaker 1>you were, I'm paid. This is a blacking ambition, bad

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>job by you. That is the case that I could

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:55.519
<v Speaker 1>go through. Vince Gully, Bob Miller, Al Michaels, Harry Callis,

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Jack Buck, Joe Buck. Oh, so you don't want to

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>be a talk show, you want to be in radio,

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you want to be a play by play. Those are

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the people I listened to when I was growing up.

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>I didn't listen to sports talk radio on the regular.

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:14.799
<v Speaker 1>It was mostly listen to live live games. It's crazy, man, Wait,

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>why is that crazy? Because you you should know who

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the top people are. But as you guys had mentioned

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>when you guys were talking the other day, he was

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>doing local radio. I didn't know Peter at a local level.

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:32.239
<v Speaker 1>He was in what Wisconsin, Chicago? There was in Philly, Chicago,

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>stuff in Wisconsin at the end in Milwaukee. I mean

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the same thing with Mike. Mike was in Chicago. Well listen,

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I I didn't. I didn't. It was hard back in

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>those days. It was so hard. It was so hard

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to hear these people. But there were ways you could listen,

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>even before the internet really took off. And now you

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>can listen to any radio show you want in any point,

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>at any point in time, every local show, every national show.

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>It's all streaming and it's available to you. It's at

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>your your your tips. But it wasn't like that, but

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>there were still ways you could listen. You had to

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>work for it. But I always wanted to. I always

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 1>wanted to hear the top people because I wanted to

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>be one of those people, and so I wanted to

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>hear what they sounded like. And then, uh, you know,

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>not that you copy those people, but you take what

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>you know you heard and then you make it your own, right,

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 1>and that I listened to a different, different crowd. Yeah,

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 1>play by play though you're still you're not giving up

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 1>that dream play by play, you're all about it. Well,

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm covering several different platforms across uh fair,

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>So so what would you why don't you. Why don't

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>you go to what's the some college town and do

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>play by play and just live in a small college

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>town and do that and be the voice of a university. Well,

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 1>it's a little challenging to do that when I've done

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.039
<v Speaker 1>it regionally here in Los Angeles and San Diego for

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 1>networks like Fox and ESPN. Yeah, so no, I understand,

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>But you could be like the big fish. I don't

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>want to in a small pond. I don't want to

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>do that. When you don't want to be a big fish,

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 1>you'd rather be a small fish in a big pond. No,

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>it's not that, but there's a there's a happy medium.

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>There's plenty of guys that are working at the regional

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.720
<v Speaker 1>level that aren't I don't want to say a plus material,

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>but they're still getting work, you know. And I mean,

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 1>what are we doing another high school football game? Disco?

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I want to have you back

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.359
<v Speaker 1>after you just decided to like shout on my face

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:35.839
<v Speaker 1>because my my well, I was just trying. I'm giving you. Listen,

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I am giving you positive no, no, no tough love.

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:45.720
<v Speaker 1>That's old school. I know you can handle. I know

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 1>there's no confusion, and there's no there's no dishonored to that.

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 1>And I'm giving a constructive criticism. That's not constructive criticism.

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>If you want to give me a constructive criticism, you

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>would you would listen to you what I say on

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 1>air and say that was good, that was bad. I

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>would have said this differently. That's a great approach. All right, listen.

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>So you want me to be like you want me

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to be a consultant, I am willing to be a consultant.

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Pay me. I will be a consultant. Small baby kit,

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 1>so you can be a big fish and a small party.

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm the guy who told you to go to West

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 1>Virginia did and China and China, Yes, guess got for

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>those are like David would text me like, hey, I

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.719
<v Speaker 1>got this opportunity in West Virginia. You know. They'd send

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>me a picture of the city and it was like

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>all shacks and you know, just a bunch of hillbillies

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>and and all that. So no, no, you should go.

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 1>You should go and do it and make it your

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>own and all that, and wish you didn't do it.

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Then you got offered some job at working Communist China,

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>and I said go to China. Come on, it's cheap

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>to live there. It's a big you know, that's a

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>big market. It's the biggest market in the world, China,

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>and more people live there than anywhere you can go there.

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>And it was an American voyages. We weren't gonna speak Chinese,

0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>you were gonna speak English, but you'd be on television

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>there and you turned that down. Also, bad job by you. Yeah,

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>and while I've done that, I have I have kind

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 1>of morphed. So you've You've led me down two bad

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 1>paths and I can no. I have no no, no,

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>no no no no no no, no, no no, And

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I have not let you down too bad. Pass. That's

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>a lie. It's a lie. Don't be an alarmed don't

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 1>be an alarmist. Yeah, you advised me to take some

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 1>some bad paths. How about what did I advise you

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to take? You told me to take Bluefin West Virginia.

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>What's wrong with this? Good people in Bluefin West Virginia

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 1>would have been under a contract for two years that

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't buy out. Two years is nothing. Two years

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>is nothing paid eleven dollars an hour. That's pretty bad. Um.

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 1>And then well, in West Virginia, you'd be the third

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 1>richest guy in blue whatever town that was in western Bluefin?

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Are you sure it was Bluefin? Yeah, I'm like it was.

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a type of tuna. I think that's it.

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that that's a city in West Virginia,

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>but maybe it is. So yeah that you told me

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 1>to do that, and then you told me to go

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>to the People's Republic of Communists. You know you're a

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:12.239
<v Speaker 1>communist anyway, she'd fit in very well over there. No, no,

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>not at all. Well, you believe in draconian things like

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 1>what what's that? Like? What? Well, you're very abrasive with me,

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.480

<v Speaker 1>a dollar more since I met you, not a dollar more.

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Not a dollar dollar? Why would you know that you

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>have not helped me the bottom line of paying my bills,

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.560
<v Speaker 1>not a dollar, because I have been paid some pennies

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 1>no pun intended on this podcast. Therefore, I do know

0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 1>that you have been paid. No, no, it's it's not

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>what I I have got a little bit, but it's

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>not because of you. It's because of my hard work. Okay, well,

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm carrying you on my back here. I'm

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna be the hunchback of Notre Dame when I get

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>done here. My god, tyranny is what it is. Absolutely,

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I gotta hear you talk about West of the four

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.320
<v Speaker 1>or five bull crap and all that every single time. Nonsense.

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Now I gotta do this damn benny versus a penny

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.559
<v Speaker 1>on the YouTube. All right, we gotta move it over

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.319
<v Speaker 1>to the YouTube. And I'm not getting paid for that.

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 1>Nothing from that coming out there, And subscribers are coming,

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.360
<v Speaker 1>advertisers are coming, so we're pushing on that. By the way,

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>so that you did mention west of the four or five,

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I got a lovely compliment the other day on some

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 1>seried I he tune I made and your wife adored

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.719
<v Speaker 1>what I could absolutely, she was just being polite. She's

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:09.239
<v Speaker 1>a polite person. She's a nice person. That's she's got etiquette,

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>she's got decore um, she's following social norms, is what

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>she's doing. Gave me constructive criticism and feedback and said

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>it was magnificent. I wish Ben cooked like that. She

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 1>was just being kind And you see, you are such

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>a dummy. You think that was an honest compliment. That

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>was not an honest compliment. Thought it was polite, eloquent

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 1>in distinct. Yeah, don't you know? My wife loves the

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Mallard cookie when I make. Now, she's got this fugazzy

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>gluten free diet, so she doesn't like a lot of

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the things. She can't eat what I eat because I'm

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>a gluten guy. I'm a I'm a rebel with not

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>eat ice cream. Then she does, but it's a special,

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:57.080
<v Speaker 1>fugaysy type of right exactly, That's what I'm saying. Every

0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>once in a while, I still have like a weekend

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 1>where she'll eat gluten and it's like living arge. She's

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>acting correctly at that time, but it's pretty disciplined with

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the diet. So anyway, coming up on today's podcast, giscount.

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 1>We've got uh geeking out, we got geeking out critters

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>and varmits and endorsement alright, so which of those do

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 1>you want to And we also have of course a

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 1>bunch of pop quiz questions, which I love. Well. Speaking

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.840
<v Speaker 1>of endorsement, this is a good time to remind everybody

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>that they, if they have not done so already, that

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 1>they gotta go on YouTube. You can do a search

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>on Benny versus the Penny, because we got week number

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>four your picks on YouTube. You can subscribe, you can

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>download the podcast or given the the YouTube video, you

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.200
<v Speaker 1>can download that actually, um and watch it. You got

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 1>one game that we have to have postponing between the

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Steelers and Titans. But outside of that, you've got a

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.679
<v Speaker 1>full array of games that you're picking. Yeah. Yeah, And

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.679
<v Speaker 1>even if you're not a gambler, and I realize a

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of people aren't gamblers, it's still we're handicapping the game.

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.959
<v Speaker 1>We're breaking the game down, what we think is gonna happen, storylines,

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.720
<v Speaker 1>those kind of things. So it's if you're a football fan,

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to be a degenerate gambler like us,

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>but you can still listen and enjoy and maybe you'll

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.559
<v Speaker 1>learn something and you'll kill an hour of time and

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.840
<v Speaker 1>be mildly entertaining, not gonna it's not gonna be murderous.

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think. I don't think it'll be a laborers situation.

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm think it gonna be strenuous, especially because we will

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.960
<v Speaker 1>not be talking Broncos and Jets at all during that,

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.560
<v Speaker 1>So that your guys, your guys there, the dever Broncos,

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.960

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.120
<v Speaker 1>That was awkward because as someone I knew back in

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.319
<v Speaker 1>the day, but I do appreciate that I don't know

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 1>who that I don't know who that guy is. But

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 1>thank you. And that's the kind of advertising we're looking for, guest,

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 1>We're looking for word of mouth advertising. Hanging out at

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 1>a seed biker bar with your friends and having a

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 1>couple of drinks and then figuring that out. That's that's

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 1>that's cool, So thank you for that. Now, if we

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 1>can get that random guy in Denver to have his

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 1>date listen to the podcast, that'd be better. And uh,

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I think that'd be really a fruitful thing for me.

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>And concerned the fact that most of your female listeners

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>come here for me, I think that's again you think this.

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 1>You have this neuroses. Boy, did you get burned in

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 1>last and last? Not this week, but last week's YouTube

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>video for Benny versus p If you're watching live or

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 1>on tape, guestcon start complaining, starts like a cry baby. Right,

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 1>it's wine time. He's he's having a temper tantrum. I

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>saw the numbers. You know he's having this hissy fit.

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 1>There's no women, it's only men. You know he's making

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.360
<v Speaker 1>he's acting like the pampered West of the four oh

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 1>five toddler being denied a toy at nap time. Uh,

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 1>he's acting like that and toy flying off the hand.

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.040
<v Speaker 1>So then within the span of like a couple of minutes,

0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 1>all these women start sending messages in I'm here, I'm

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>watching with my you know, husband, or I'm watching with

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 1>my boyfriend or whatever, and you you got completely buried gascon.

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 1>One second you're here, you're belly aching, you're criticizing, you're

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 1>denouncing the Mallew militia as a bunch of deplorable dudes

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 1>with no women. You're grumbling, and then bam, the ladies,

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the the female wing, the estrogen wing, and the malle

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Militia came out. And these ladies were throwing haymakers. They

0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 1>were kicking you in the nuts. And I love every

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 1>step of it. Was great, it was it was a

0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:06.120
<v Speaker 1>little humbling. I I might add to that. I was

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 1>proud to see that when I looked at some of

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the numbers that the females did crack the analytics portion.

0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 1>And so we have a whopping two and a half

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 1>percent of the of the general public that watch the

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 1>YouTube videos are now females. So we put a little

0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 1>debt in that because that's what it was. It was

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty five to forty four years of age, and the

0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>demographics and It was all men until last week, and

0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden, females started showing up. Spoiler alert,

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.720
<v Speaker 1>smoiler alert. The sports talk radio format, guest Guns of

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Education for you is a male driven format. That's the

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 1>reason exists. It exists for dudes. It is the last bastion,

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 1>the last frontier, the last place for men to be

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 1>men and talk about balls. Right, No, but women love balls.

0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh So, I guess I don't know any anyway, So

0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 1>it whenever. That's a great thing about the internet. All right,

0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.679
<v Speaker 1>So we've got geeking out creatures, creatures or creators and varmints.

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Which one do you want? Let's go. Let's go geeking out,

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, geeking out? So I mentioned this on the

0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:25.679
<v Speaker 1>radio show briefly, but I had a radio nerd moment.

0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I had a radio nerd moment. Upgrading another, yet another

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 1>upgrade from this, this remote studio, which I call Cassablanca,

0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the remote studio, better equipment, top notch, all the way.

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Good location, location, location, location, the commute is very good. Uh,

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.520
<v Speaker 1>And so we have upgraded here the advertising because the

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 1>company has me do these YouTube videos. Some of them

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.080
<v Speaker 1>have become We had one that one viral this week,

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.120
<v Speaker 1>which was pretty cool. That was fun to be part

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.879
<v Speaker 1>of a viral YouTube video. But we have now a

0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:00.199
<v Speaker 1>mic flag. Now, if you're not in radio, it's probably like,

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 1>who the hell cares about a mic flag? Big whoopie

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 1>damn do. But when you're working radio and you have

0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.520
<v Speaker 1>a mic flag, this is like a special geeky thing.

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.879
<v Speaker 1>So we have now from this point forward, when the

0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:15.960
<v Speaker 1>videos go up, the YouTube videos, you will see uh,

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:18.479
<v Speaker 1>you will see the mic fluck and it's gonna make

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.440
<v Speaker 1>all the difference in the world. This is gonna this

0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:24.639
<v Speaker 1>is gonna cause my salary to skyrocket, the listenership is

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna go up. It's going to be amazing. It is

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be amazing. So I geeked out. I was

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 1>very excited. I sent some photos out on Instagram and Facebook.

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.159
<v Speaker 1>If you miss those, you can go back and scroll

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 1>down and see them and click on them. And it's

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.080
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful looking mic flog. It's a good look at thing.

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Not really impressed, but it's fine. Well, let's see your

0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.120
<v Speaker 1>mic flag about that. We'll do my mic flag versus

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.119
<v Speaker 1>your mic flag. Will have a pissing contest about that.

0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't need a mic flag. I got my tie,

0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I got my nice press dress shirt, I got my vest.

0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.520
<v Speaker 1>That good stuff. People look at the people, look at

0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the whole wardrobe. They don't look at the mic flag

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I like you do with the mic flag anyway, what's

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 1>wrong with the mic flag? I don't know. Why are

0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:08.920
<v Speaker 1>you triggered by the mic flog? It's a beautiful looking

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:11.400
<v Speaker 1>mic flag. How did the mic flag cause you any

0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 1>heartache other than making you look smaller than me? You

0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 1>are like a Saudi prince with all the gear that

0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 1>you have in Saudi prince what it is? I don't

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.560
<v Speaker 1>know if people understand how much equipment you have. They're

0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 1>all paid for by the company. No, no, that again again, Yes, Scott,

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.920
<v Speaker 1>you keep spreading this lie. Uh this studio is I'd

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.120
<v Speaker 1>call it smoke show. It's beautiful. But here's the thing

0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I this was. I'm a self made man. I'm east

0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:39.640
<v Speaker 1>of the four oh five. I got a call from

0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:43.000
<v Speaker 1>w E. I'm Boston. Uh. They they've been very good

0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 1>to me. That radio station over the years, and they

0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.760
<v Speaker 1>asked me, they said, hey, can you do some shows

0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:49.640
<v Speaker 1>and we'd like to. You know, you can do it remotely.

0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:51.119
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to move to Boston. You can do

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 1>it remotely from l A. I know you're working at Fox.

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I said yes. So then we went back and forth

0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and I decided and and at that time I was

0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.399
<v Speaker 1>doing stuff in New z Land on Radio Sport in

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.159
<v Speaker 1>New Zealand, so I was doing a lot of extra

0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 1>work on the side, and so I said, I gotta

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:08.840
<v Speaker 1>put a studio in here. That was back we had

0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:10.680
<v Speaker 1>an I S D N line. Now we don't use

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:14.119
<v Speaker 1>we have the newest technology. But I went out and

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I pieced it together and I got, uh, let's see

0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.359
<v Speaker 1>the one to three four pieces of equipment actually five six,

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.320
<v Speaker 1>there's six pieces of equipment in here. And put it

0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 1>together and I brought in my guy, Jake Warner, stay

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:30.040
<v Speaker 1>awake with Jake to do some of the wiring because

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I had the wire in a little off um and

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 1>that was it. And so but I I paid for

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 1>all of the guests, got what radio company I Cowherd

0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 1>could get a studio built at his house, and paid

0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:47.600
<v Speaker 1>for the overnight guy, not not gonna happen. It's just

0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.119
<v Speaker 1>the way it is. Guest, you got the mic flags,

0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 1>so you you can weigh that fucking thing around and

0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:53.760
<v Speaker 1>be happy about it. That's the one thing you didn't

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.520
<v Speaker 1>pay for obviously then right well, no, the mike flags

0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:58.399
<v Speaker 1>right there, it's part of the package. It's part of

0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:00.639
<v Speaker 1>the deal. I got the banner behind me now, the

0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 1>official banner. It's good looking good. Why didn't you get

0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:07.200
<v Speaker 1>me a benny versus the penny banner? I could have

0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:09.560
<v Speaker 1>put that up. Bad job by you? Why would I

0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:14.600
<v Speaker 1>do that marketing advertising? I'm everything I'm doing, I'm doing

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 1>pro bono. I'm doing for the greater good, for the

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:19.560
<v Speaker 1>greater that would be for the greater good. We'd see

0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:21.919
<v Speaker 1>the background. They said, this is a professional show. Like

0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I can't go, I can't go into more debt for you,

0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 1>like I need? What do they say? What do they

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:30.760
<v Speaker 1>say on a tease? How about a payoff? What the

0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 1>fun is? You know? Debt payoff? Guest, con debt is

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.640
<v Speaker 1>not really reality? You know why? Because I could die

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:40.879
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not. Yes, the moment you die, your debt

0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:45.800
<v Speaker 1>goes to zero. You no longer have a debt. That's

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:47.800
<v Speaker 1>not true. Really, how is that not true? How can

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:49.520
<v Speaker 1>you pay off your debts when you're dead? Well know

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.000
<v Speaker 1>someone will have to pay it off for you. So yeah,

0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:57.080
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily. Not necessarily to say that you think these

0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 1>politicians are worried about the U. S. National debt, for example,

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not. Yeah, you think anyone says, maybe we shouldn't

0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:06.640
<v Speaker 1>spend that money because we don't want to have it,

0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and you think they ever ever? No, of course not.

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:13.639
<v Speaker 1>It's just a bullshit number that they have. And you know,

0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:18.120
<v Speaker 1>there's that website was a US Debt clock dot org.

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:21.240
<v Speaker 1>And you can keep tracking. Your head will spin. What

0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:25.879
<v Speaker 1>it's What is the U? S? National That it's trillion?

0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Is that what it is? Or billion? Or is it

0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:30.720
<v Speaker 1>billion or trillion? Probably trillion. I'll be curious to see

0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:33.080
<v Speaker 1>what happens with us in the United States and in

0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:37.520

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.440

0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:06.480

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 1>don't forget. We're supposed to have an asteroid hit planet

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Earth just before the election. Alright, it'll be good. Yeah, well,

0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:19.440

<v Speaker 1>Make your final final push her. Guest gon It's all

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:47.960
<v Speaker 1>but over all right, Critters environments, critters environments, critters environments.

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:53.160
<v Speaker 1>So exciting news here, guest gon U. There is a interloper,

0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:57.399
<v Speaker 1>an uninvited guest in the Mallard mansion. I mentioned this

0:23:57.440 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 1>also briefly. I will expand on it. Mentioned it briefly

0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:03.439
<v Speaker 1>the day on the radio. But I have an uninvited,

0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:08.920
<v Speaker 1>uninvited house guest, uh, and I've been unable to cut

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:11.800
<v Speaker 1>them off at the past. So in the attic above

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the Mallard mansion, I hear a critter or a varmint,

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:21.560
<v Speaker 1>not sure which running amuck at night. I don't hear

0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:22.920
<v Speaker 1>during the day but at night, so I guess it

0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:25.679
<v Speaker 1>sleeps during the day, which means it's probably nocturnal. And

0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:28.000
<v Speaker 1>it runs around and does its thing, and la la

0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:30.280
<v Speaker 1>la la la la la la la, and and I

0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:33.200
<v Speaker 1>think it's working out for the NFL draft as much

0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:36.760
<v Speaker 1>running as it's doing here. It's training for the Olympics.

0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:39.560
<v Speaker 1>So I have to decide. And we mentioned this on

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the show. What I have not made a final decision

0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 1>here because we only mentioned it briefly. People were very

0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 1>excited to give me their advice. Uh, but it is

0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 1>concerning when I hear this. I'm doing the show and

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:53.600
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, it's one, two, three in the morning,

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and I hear this thing running over my head. So

0:24:57.040 --> 0:24:59.199
<v Speaker 1>it's some kind of creature to be named later that

0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:04.040
<v Speaker 1>is running sprints and I'm running the forty running running around,

0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:07.119
<v Speaker 1>getting workout in. It's been going on for a couple

0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:09.119
<v Speaker 1>of weeks now, I think it's actually been about a month.

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't hear My wife heard it, and the

0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:15.639
<v Speaker 1>family heard it, and I didn't hear it. And I

0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 1>finally started to hear it. I guess the creature was

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:22.159
<v Speaker 1>bothered that I didn't hear it. So now it's like

0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 1>working right over the studio. It's like I gotta let

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:28.440
<v Speaker 1>that asshole Mallard know that I'm here. And so, yeah,

0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:30.040
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know whether it's a rat. I don't

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:32.360
<v Speaker 1>think it's a rat because it sounds bigger. But it might.

0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's just because the way the buildings designed. Could

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:42.960
<v Speaker 1>be a squirrel. Eddie thinks it's a squirrel. Raccoons, how

0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:45.320
<v Speaker 1>about that could be that. It could be weed man, hippie,

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:47.639
<v Speaker 1>could be weed man up there. But it's not skunk.

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 1>That'd be awesome. I did see a skunk on my

0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:56.359
<v Speaker 1>front launch. It could be a skunk. Well, why skunks

0:25:56.400 --> 0:26:00.720
<v Speaker 1>only shoot there? You know they're poisonous gas is when

0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:05.240
<v Speaker 1>they're scared. If it's not scared, what if it's a skunk,

0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:09.000
<v Speaker 1>it could you know? That's Actually that's actually a good

0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:11.080
<v Speaker 1>one because there was there was a skunk that I

0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 1>saw several times around the house. It's possible it figured

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 1>out how to get into the attic and but how

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:19.720
<v Speaker 1>how does it eat though there's no food there? Yeah,

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:22.240
<v Speaker 1>that's a climb to I mean don't For people that

0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:25.080
<v Speaker 1>know don't know, you have a three story house. So

0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:28.359
<v Speaker 1>it's a big house. It's yeah, it's huge. May I

0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:30.800
<v Speaker 1>recommend guest and you go get some bifocals. If you

0:26:30.840 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 1>think I have a three story house, your jackass? What

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:35.640
<v Speaker 1>are you a donkey? What are you gonna do? How

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:39.120
<v Speaker 1>are you gonna exter? Well? I'm glad you asked, because

0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:43.280
<v Speaker 1>I have four options here, all right? Four options? Now.

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Option number one is to take a piece of cheese

0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:50.719
<v Speaker 1>and put poison all over it and toss it up

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 1>in the attic and hope whatever is up there eats.

0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:56.520
<v Speaker 1>That's option one. That's the simplest option, just a brief

0:26:56.560 --> 0:26:58.920
<v Speaker 1>open of the attic, toss it up there, closed, the attic. Done.

0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 1>The problem with that is if said creature critter varmint

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:09.119
<v Speaker 1>eats the cheese and does die, I will then have

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:14.119
<v Speaker 1>the stench of a rotting carcass in my attic that

0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I will be smelling until it finishes. It's the decomposing

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 1>So do I really want that? No? I do not want.

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:22.400
<v Speaker 1>So that's option one, which is not Option A, which

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 1>is not a great option Option B. Now that I'm

0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the lean, mean Mallard record machine. I could go up

0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:34.240
<v Speaker 1>there with a flashlight and a baseball bat and investigate.

0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm skinny enough. I can get up there and walk

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 1>around the attic and try to find out what's up there,

0:27:41.359 --> 0:27:44.400
<v Speaker 1>which is rather scary because of the unknown. I've never

0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:48.399
<v Speaker 1>been in the attic. I've had some people we've hired

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 1>to put things in the house that have gone up there,

0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:51.840
<v Speaker 1>but I've never gone up there myself. But we so

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:53.919
<v Speaker 1>we can have somebody go up there and like me

0:27:54.000 --> 0:27:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and investigate and go full Rambo, put like battle armor

0:27:58.000 --> 0:28:02.960
<v Speaker 1>on and go to battle it, said creature. Uh. The

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:07.040
<v Speaker 1>third option would be to hire a professional that's an

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:12.240
<v Speaker 1>animal control company. Now that is like a expensive proposition

0:28:12.280 --> 0:28:15.840
<v Speaker 1>because I've heard this can get very expensive, very expensive

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:18.560
<v Speaker 1>depending on what it is, and so that's a big deal.

0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 1>You even want to spend that money. Now, the other

0:28:21.080 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 1>option I have, the fourth option, is to do nothing

0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:25.080
<v Speaker 1>and just hope that it leaves on its owner it dies.

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:27.960
<v Speaker 1>That's the that's the fourth option. Now. I did get

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:30.159
<v Speaker 1>a message from Tammy and Montana who said that I

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:34.280
<v Speaker 1>can go to the Humane Society and possibly get a

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:38.320
<v Speaker 1>rental cage that I could put up there. You know,

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the kind of thing where the animal goes in and

0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:42.680
<v Speaker 1>it drops, you know, put the put the cheese or

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:44.880
<v Speaker 1>whatever in there, and the creature goes in, and then

0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the cage clothes. I could do that. I don't really

0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:52.080
<v Speaker 1>know if that's a thing, if that's real. Tammy thinks

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:53.960
<v Speaker 1>it is. So, so those are my options. I have

0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to decide what I want to do. I think you

0:28:56.080 --> 0:28:59.760
<v Speaker 1>need to get someone to come in for you, higher professional.

0:29:00.000 --> 0:29:01.560
<v Speaker 1>So that's what the west of the four or five

0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:05.880
<v Speaker 1>crowd would do. No, this is the advice I'm giving

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:09.120
<v Speaker 1>you because things have gone wrong, and things have gone

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 1>horribly wrong for many of people. You don't need to

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:16.240
<v Speaker 1>be climbing on a ladder to get up there only

0:29:16.320 --> 0:29:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to God forbid fall to your demise. What do you

0:29:19.800 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 1>think I want to fall through the roof and die.

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:23.720
<v Speaker 1>You can fall on the ladder. You can fall through

0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 1>the roof. There's no I have. I have my sensibilities.

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I have not completely well. I know you think I'm

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 1>a thousand years old and I've lost it. I've not

0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:33.720
<v Speaker 1>lost it. But there's more bad things that can happen

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:39.560
<v Speaker 1>than good things. Yeah, I think of a story though,

0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 1>life's all about the story gets right didn't I tell

0:29:42.680 --> 0:29:47.520
<v Speaker 1>you that? Isn't that one of the lines? Right, That's

0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:50.840
<v Speaker 1>one of the profound things that I said. All right,

0:29:50.920 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 1>so if you go up there, then can you at

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:59.400
<v Speaker 1>least have someone videotape you're going up there? Uh? Yeah,

0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean I I could. There's a way. I still

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:04.280
<v Speaker 1>have to eat the bull testicle, so I have to

0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>take that first, and my wife has yet to procure

0:30:08.240 --> 0:30:12.320
<v Speaker 1>the bull balls, and uh but she's gonna have me

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:13.640
<v Speaker 1>do it. I want you to know those are some

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:16.040
<v Speaker 1>of you sending me message you're not actually gonna do it.

0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:19.440
<v Speaker 1>You like, no, uh now, I don't want to do it.

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you right now, full disclosure. I want

0:30:21.040 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 1>to do it. But my wife thinks it's great and

0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 1>she's unfortunately she's using my advice against me because I'm like,

0:30:27.000 --> 0:30:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, listen, if we can't find it, we can't

0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:31.400
<v Speaker 1>find it, we can't find the bullballs, then not so

0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:34.920
<v Speaker 1>be it. But she's like, no, no, no, life's all

0:30:34.960 --> 0:30:41.360
<v Speaker 1>about the stories. So we'll pick up the story. I'll

0:30:41.400 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 1>do one. That's it deep Fried. Although I'm a little

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:49.160
<v Speaker 1>concerned because our friend shell Shock, the truck driver, the

0:30:49.200 --> 0:30:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Great truck Driver, shell Shock who calls into the show

0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:55.720
<v Speaker 1>occasionally said that he did eat a bull testicle. No,

0:30:55.920 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>he said it was disgusting and even though it was

0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:02.640
<v Speaker 1>deep fried and breaded, just like I'm planning on doing.

0:31:02.640 --> 0:31:04.080
<v Speaker 1>But he said it didn't matter. He said it was

0:31:04.120 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 1>it was horrible. Yeah, And that's the problemcy Like, if

0:31:08.640 --> 0:31:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know it was the testy of a bowl,

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I might not hate it. But it's that lack of

0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 1>of what do they say, cognitive dissidence. I know what

0:31:19.680 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 1>it is. I'm aware of it. If I didn't know,

0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have an issue with it as much until

0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I because it's after. It's after the fact. This disaster

0:31:32.640 --> 0:31:36.760
<v Speaker 1>would have been completely avoided if Paul George had played better,

0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Kawhi Leonard had made a shot in the second half. Yes,

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you. I agree with you. And now

0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:45.320
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna worry about the Lakers winning an NBA title.

0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not worried about that. No one's watching the NBA. Please.

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 1>The NBA has done Once the Clippers are out, people

0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:53.560
<v Speaker 1>stop watching. We all know that. And the Miami Heat

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:55.320
<v Speaker 1>are gonna come back. He doesn't look like they're gonna

0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:58.680
<v Speaker 1>come back, but they're gonna come back. Don't sleep on

0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the heat. Do not do it because you'll get burned. Wow,

0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:04.440
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty original. Thank you. Speaking of which, I got

0:32:04.520 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a Matt Stairs story for you. The great Matt Stairs,

0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 1>the great Canadian fat Hope. Yeah, the one that absolutely

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:14.160
<v Speaker 1>destroyed Jonathan Broxton. I was at that game, said yes,

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I was sitting waiting. We were anticipating the Dodgers beating

0:32:17.200 --> 0:32:19.320
<v Speaker 1>the Phillies and they were gonna win the series and

0:32:19.360 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna go to the World Series. And wait, wait,

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Matt Stairs, it's a moonshot into the pavilion ball has

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:29.640
<v Speaker 1>not even landed yet. Anyways, I I got a an

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:33.760
<v Speaker 1>interesting text message earlier this week. No, not from Matt stas,

0:32:34.240 --> 0:32:37.200
<v Speaker 1>but fill me out on this thing. So I got

0:32:37.360 --> 0:32:40.600
<v Speaker 1>a random text message from someone we we both mutually know,

0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:45.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's individual Tom Looney. No, definitely not Tom Looney. Uh.

0:32:45.840 --> 0:32:49.240

0:33:52.000 --> 0:33:54.240
<v Speaker 1>one of my human lab rat. And they're just testing

0:33:54.320 --> 0:33:56.360
<v Speaker 1>things out on me. It's like a weird science experiment

0:33:56.440 --> 0:33:59.680
<v Speaker 1>pretty much. Let's test out mallard. It's going to Frankenstein's

0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:01.960
<v Speaker 1>lab and see what we can do with the test tubes. Well,

0:34:02.000 --> 0:34:04.360
<v Speaker 1>when you start going into the radio studio, then you

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:07.760
<v Speaker 1>might have a say I go into a radio studio

0:34:08.080 --> 0:34:12.200
<v Speaker 1>every single day. I'm in here every single day with

0:34:13.280 --> 0:34:16.640
<v Speaker 1>tremendous equipment. This is one of the better radio stations

0:34:16.680 --> 0:34:19.879
<v Speaker 1>I've ever worked at. Here, this studio. It's amazing because

0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:21.440
<v Speaker 1>you don't need to talk to anybody when you're in there.

0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:24.200
<v Speaker 1>It's great, it's wonderful. I come in here, I got

0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:27.320
<v Speaker 1>my commute. I'm able to make it. I got my

0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:29.640
<v Speaker 1>lunch pail. When I make my commute, go in here,

0:34:29.719 --> 0:34:31.920
<v Speaker 1>sit down, put my lunch pail down, and I go

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to work. I go to work. I am no different

0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 1>than the construction worker. I'm no different than the truck

0:34:37.320 --> 0:34:40.640
<v Speaker 1>driver going eight hundred miles. I'm I'm not putting my

0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:42.359
<v Speaker 1>feet up like the west of the four oh five

0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:44.960
<v Speaker 1>crowd over there. So with that being said, I need

0:34:45.040 --> 0:34:47.520
<v Speaker 1>to I put in a couple of requests a few

0:34:47.600 --> 0:34:50.440
<v Speaker 1>days in advance. I do not want a text message

0:34:50.480 --> 0:34:53.719
<v Speaker 1>at three am saying I need this, that and the other. Um.

0:34:54.040 --> 0:34:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I need you to abide by my clock and I

0:34:57.280 --> 0:34:59.360
<v Speaker 1>need you to follow my rundown to a tea. There

0:34:59.400 --> 0:35:06.560
<v Speaker 1>will be no Laker bashing, no broncos. Yes, well, you

0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:10.440
<v Speaker 1>keep wishing that, you know, you wish that into reality

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and see if it happens. And you can add a

0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:14.960
<v Speaker 1>pinch of salt if you want as well, maybe that'll help.

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 1>That's one thing I forgot to ask Peter. I wonder

0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:21.600
<v Speaker 1>how often he actually listened or followed his producer, because

0:35:22.120 --> 0:35:25.480
<v Speaker 1>most that do and do not well. There are some

0:35:25.719 --> 0:35:29.640
<v Speaker 1>that are beholden to their producers and are absolutely helpless

0:35:29.760 --> 0:35:32.239
<v Speaker 1>without their producer, which is these are their these are

0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 1>their confidants. It is amazing when you think about you

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:38.880
<v Speaker 1>could have one of these jobs and be so helpless

0:35:39.080 --> 0:35:42.200
<v Speaker 1>without someone leading you. You have to be like on

0:35:42.280 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a leash and your your dog owners carrying. It's wild.

0:35:47.160 --> 0:35:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm amazed that people can rise to levels of success

0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and not have the just the I don't know ambitions

0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:59.239
<v Speaker 1>the right word, but the desire to do it with them,

0:35:59.600 --> 0:36:02.600
<v Speaker 1>them their leadership. And I'm saying this right, but it's

0:36:02.640 --> 0:36:05.359
<v Speaker 1>like they just the computers has to line everything up

0:36:05.400 --> 0:36:08.080
<v Speaker 1>and then rundown and it's like segment by segment and

0:36:08.120 --> 0:36:10.920
<v Speaker 1>it's like really not. Have you ever had a producer

0:36:11.040 --> 0:36:12.880
<v Speaker 1>that got in your ear and said you need to

0:36:12.920 --> 0:36:16.799
<v Speaker 1>talk about this as opposed to this. Oh yeah, I'm

0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:20.359
<v Speaker 1>been sure. I've had that in in the past. When

0:36:20.400 --> 0:36:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I was early in my career, I had a donkey

0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:27.040
<v Speaker 1>of a producer one time, who's if you don't want

0:36:27.040 --> 0:36:29.640
<v Speaker 1>to talk about this, just go home. He told me

0:36:29.680 --> 0:36:33.160
<v Speaker 1>to leave, told me to leave a show if I

0:36:33.200 --> 0:36:34.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to talk about what he wanted me to

0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:37.720
<v Speaker 1>talk about it. Didn't you send me a YouTube video

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:40.520
<v Speaker 1>of a couple of hosts that we're doing that, oh

0:36:40.600 --> 0:36:43.239
<v Speaker 1>yeah in Philadelphia, and oh yeah, well there was one

0:36:43.280 --> 0:36:45.800
<v Speaker 1>in Texas, and there was one in Philadelphia. There was

0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:50.120
<v Speaker 1>a guy in Houston. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. It was great.

0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:52.920
<v Speaker 1>It was great. And it's like everyone in the business

0:36:53.120 --> 0:36:55.040
<v Speaker 1>that was a few weeks ago Funhouse had it on

0:36:55.239 --> 0:36:58.480
<v Speaker 1>his his side. But these two local yachts in Houston

0:36:59.000 --> 0:37:01.360
<v Speaker 1>are going back in worth and the one guy is

0:37:01.400 --> 0:37:03.800
<v Speaker 1>getting frustrated because he told the other guy to do

0:37:04.000 --> 0:37:05.440
<v Speaker 1>something and the guy's like, I'm trying to do it

0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:09.040
<v Speaker 1>right now, you know. And and so this is debate

0:37:09.080 --> 0:37:11.640
<v Speaker 1>who's wrong And I was the guy that was complaining

0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:13.640
<v Speaker 1>or the guy that was saying, I'm doing it right now,

0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:16.279
<v Speaker 1>And my I was always on the guy that was

0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:19.799
<v Speaker 1>complaining because that's one of them. We talked with Peter

0:37:19.880 --> 0:37:21.839
<v Speaker 1>about this. When you do a show with someone else

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and they don't carry their end of the bargain. They

0:37:26.480 --> 0:37:31.160
<v Speaker 1>don't carry their weight. It is the most painful experience, right,

0:37:31.440 --> 0:37:33.920
<v Speaker 1>it's the most painful experience because there's gotta be this

0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:36.560
<v Speaker 1>level of synergy when you do a two man show

0:37:37.280 --> 0:37:41.640
<v Speaker 1>to make it work and two groups working together for

0:37:41.719 --> 0:37:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the better good. But then when you do it with

0:37:44.080 --> 0:37:49.759
<v Speaker 1>someone who's a lazy slack off in a stumble bum uh,

0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:54.520
<v Speaker 1>then the some of the parts are actually greater than

0:37:54.560 --> 0:37:57.279
<v Speaker 1>the whole. And that's not the way it's supposed to be, right,

0:37:57.400 --> 0:37:59.080
<v Speaker 1>if one person is doing it, the other person not,

0:37:59.280 --> 0:38:03.719
<v Speaker 1>and then it's so I totally emphasized to emphasize with

0:38:03.840 --> 0:38:06.320
<v Speaker 1>that that guy that was complaining because he told the

0:38:06.360 --> 0:38:08.359
<v Speaker 1>guy to do this, the guys, I'll do it during

0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the show. That's like the Shaquille O'Neil line from back

0:38:12.719 --> 0:38:15.040
<v Speaker 1>in the day, right, remember the great shock line when

0:38:15.040 --> 0:38:16.480
<v Speaker 1>he was playing for the Lakers. He got hurt and

0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:19.120
<v Speaker 1>then he waited right before training camp to have the surgery,

0:38:19.520 --> 0:38:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and he said, I got hurt on company times, so

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:24.719
<v Speaker 1>I'll heal on company time. So that that's the mindset,

0:38:24.800 --> 0:38:27.600
<v Speaker 1>that's the lazy mindset of that talk. Traw host in

0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Houston was like, Hey, I'm only getting paid to do

0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:33.359
<v Speaker 1>the show. I'm not getting paid to prep, so I'll

0:38:33.520 --> 0:38:36.920
<v Speaker 1>just wait till i'm in here, and um sorry, I'll

0:38:37.000 --> 0:38:39.440
<v Speaker 1>float on the lazy river of mediocrity and I'll do

0:38:39.600 --> 0:38:42.120
<v Speaker 1>this only when I'm in the studio. And that's good

0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:45.640
<v Speaker 1>because you could usually identify those type of cats first

0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:49.359
<v Speaker 1>segment in five, eight, ten minutes in yeah, and then

0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:51.759
<v Speaker 1>you know if they've prepped or not. And then well,

0:38:51.800 --> 0:38:54.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like I always mocked every year the people that

0:38:54.320 --> 0:38:57.520
<v Speaker 1>have the audacity around the holidays. It's the Mallard Handbook

0:38:57.560 --> 0:39:01.040
<v Speaker 1>to Thanksgiving and Christmas Radio thanks Giving. Who would you

0:39:01.120 --> 0:39:05.239
<v Speaker 1>like to invite in sports dead or alive to Thanksgiving dinner? Right?

0:39:05.440 --> 0:39:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Who gets an extra helping of turkey? Who gets who

0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:12.560
<v Speaker 1>gets a small piece of of of mashed potatoes? What's that?

0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say? Your top five Thanksgiving entrees or meals?

0:39:16.440 --> 0:39:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, your side, your favorite Thanksgiving side dish,

0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:24.800
<v Speaker 1>call in right now. And then Chris Chris Diehearted Christmas

0:39:24.920 --> 0:39:29.799
<v Speaker 1>movie Yesterday, Christmas. Who's been naughty? Who's been nice? That's

0:39:29.840 --> 0:39:33.400
<v Speaker 1>always hilarious for Christmas. And it's it's just laziness, right,

0:39:33.480 --> 0:39:38.080
<v Speaker 1>It's just loafing lollygagging around. It's a chrome when I

0:39:38.239 --> 0:39:40.080
<v Speaker 1>hear a host do those kind of topics. It is

0:39:40.160 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 1>a chronic case of I d G F. You know

0:39:43.160 --> 0:39:45.320
<v Speaker 1>what that is? I d g A F A flying

0:39:45.520 --> 0:39:51.239
<v Speaker 1>fuck exactly, Big, exact mundo, correct the mundo. That's how

0:39:51.320 --> 0:39:53.560
<v Speaker 1>it is. So that Big said you better act your

0:39:53.600 --> 0:39:58.759
<v Speaker 1>fucking part on Wednesday. I bring it part. I bring

0:39:58.840 --> 0:40:01.480
<v Speaker 1>it every single day. I I have the gift of

0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:06.000
<v Speaker 1>hosting a radio show. Do you understand that the power

0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:09.080
<v Speaker 1>that that is, but really the responsibility. And I'm not

0:40:09.280 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 1>blowing smoke here again, I'm not whistling Dixie here. I'm

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:15.480
<v Speaker 1>not like the the thing about when you owse the show.

0:40:15.680 --> 0:40:19.919
<v Speaker 1>What's the most important commodity that you have the most

0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:24.760
<v Speaker 1>important commodity that you have? Your voice? No, your time,

0:40:24.920 --> 0:40:28.120
<v Speaker 1>if someone's willing to give you your time. I'm talking

0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:31.399
<v Speaker 1>about the listen. No, no, I'm talking about the listen.

0:40:31.440 --> 0:40:33.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's I mean. You can get more money.

0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:35.799
<v Speaker 1>You can you know, you'll lose money or get money.

0:40:35.960 --> 0:40:38.480
<v Speaker 1>You can make new friends, you can lose friends, but

0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:41.200
<v Speaker 1>you only get a certain finite amount of time, and

0:40:41.280 --> 0:40:43.600
<v Speaker 1>that you don't even know how much you get. You

0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:45.080
<v Speaker 1>don't even know how much you get, and if you're

0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:47.719
<v Speaker 1>willing to spend time listening to somebody and give up

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:52.080
<v Speaker 1>your time, and that is a huge deal. And I

0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:54.399
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't just sweep that under the rug. I don't.

0:40:54.400 --> 0:40:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a big deal. So you try to

0:40:55.880 --> 0:40:58.680
<v Speaker 1>do a good job. Either that or maybe we can

0:40:58.719 --> 0:41:00.400
<v Speaker 1>come in and take it like a new Scanne and

0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:01.560
<v Speaker 1>then we can go out and you know, go have

0:41:01.640 --> 0:41:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a dinner somewhere or something. You drive to Orange County

0:41:03.520 --> 0:41:05.160
<v Speaker 1>and have a dinner because the restaurants are open. You're

0:41:05.239 --> 0:41:08.520
<v Speaker 1>celebrating your second visit ever. Last week on Betty Versus

0:41:08.560 --> 0:41:11.960
<v Speaker 1>the Penny, here's their second visit ever during the pandemic.

0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:16.000
<v Speaker 1>The restaurant. Yes, I've eaten out twice since March and

0:41:16.160 --> 0:41:19.120
<v Speaker 1>at the same restaurant, this Mexican restaurant in Orange County

0:41:19.200 --> 0:41:21.120
<v Speaker 1>that my dad we used to go to when I

0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:22.719
<v Speaker 1>was younger, and so we used to go there. You

0:41:23.080 --> 0:41:24.640
<v Speaker 1>in the midsts didn't eat out when you guys went

0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:27.279
<v Speaker 1>up to uh like Central Cally. Oh well that's true, yeah,

0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:28.960
<v Speaker 1>but I'm talking about in l A. Yeah, we went

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:32.239
<v Speaker 1>to uh yeah, the Madonna in My wife loves the

0:41:32.320 --> 0:41:35.239
<v Speaker 1>Madonna and you ever been to the Madonna in San

0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Louis Obispo. It is the most gaudy, over the top hotel.

0:41:40.000 --> 0:41:42.360
<v Speaker 1>It's on the hill looking at the freeway there and

0:41:42.560 --> 0:41:45.520
<v Speaker 1>it's every room is a theme. You know, it's like

0:41:45.920 --> 0:41:49.880
<v Speaker 1>women love this hotel, Gisco and gay guys. But you

0:41:49.920 --> 0:41:53.799
<v Speaker 1>should bring you should bring you know, somebody, lady friend

0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:55.960
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. You know, maybe you can meet halfway and
