Nice Nets hat. Yeah, so the question 26 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: I have been asked more than anything. Danny uh Gascon 27 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: was the podcast for a while and then he bailed out, 28 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: and then we were trying to find somebody and you 29 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: were the first name that popped up. Uh said, Danny. 30 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: J that's the guy. That's the guy that I want. 31 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: But we had to convince you to do it, Danny, 32 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: and there's not a lot in it. So how were 33 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: we of a twist your arm to get you to 34 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: join the Fifth Hour podcast? Was it a momentous It's 35 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: actually that I have insomnia. I have certain hours available 36 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: that I was used to not only doing your show, 37 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: but outkicked the coverage. I'm like, what do I do 38 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: with these hours so I can stay productive? Yeah? No, no, 39 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: and it's good because I have we record this podcast 40 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: that really ungodly hours. If people when we recorded the 41 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: Fifth Hour podcast, they would say, man, that's a crazy person. 42 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: But it fits the schedule, and I'm glad it worked out, 43 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: and I loved having on the show back in the day. 44 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: Then you know, I was upset when you left. I 45 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: don't want you to leave the show and you yeah, 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: you got promoter, which I'm happy about. And I'm glad 47 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: we can do this podcast and play Grab Bass on 48 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: the weekend. And you've been a radio a ton. We 49 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: had you on a few weeks ago, and I want 50 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: to point out at the time we had you on, 51 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: this was not even in play. We didn't know that 52 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: this was a possibility, right, This is kind of popped up. 53 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: They didn't even want you on a fourth hour, let 54 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: alone a bit. Yeah, exactly, exactly exactly. So so anyway, 55 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: this popped up right after that. It was I don't 56 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: know what the word is you want to look for. 57 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: It was synergy, it was serendipity, whatever it might be. 58 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: But but you popped up here. But you've been been 59 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: been on the show before for years. And as I 60 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: always point out, I I obsessed during the day with 61 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: these dopey monologues that I do about sports. I spent 62 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: a lot of time, a lot of blood sweat and 63 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: tears and often, and you know this from working in 64 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: the radio all these years, the thing that people like 65 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: the most is none of that. They don't want to 66 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: hear any of that. They don't care what I think 67 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: about any of the sports teams. But what I had 68 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: for lunch on Wednesday is very important. Yeah, It's true 69 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: when you pull back the curtain, it is more interesting 70 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: your life in some of the lives of some of 71 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: the hacks that we enjoy to listen to or watch 72 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: on television, that is definitely more interesting than most of 73 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: the burned out sports stories that we get fram down 74 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: our air holes. When I tune on the radio or 75 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: I turned on the sports shows on TV, I hear 76 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: the same takes over and over again. Except I gotta 77 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: give our FSR line up some credit. I do hear 78 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: some different takes on our network, but on some of 79 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: the other networks it's just the same regurgitated takes over 80 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: and over. Well. Part of the problem also is a 81 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: lot of as you know, programmers in radio, they just 82 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: play the hits Mama and not our guy, but do 83 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: the same thing over and over again. Because they in 84 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: the way that radio worse. People turn over the audience 85 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: turns over a lot. Although we're lucky on the overnight 86 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: that people do because they work in factories and drive 87 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: trucks or where they're up all night, they listen for 88 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: more than ten minutes. If you get somebody during the 89 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: day to listen for ten minutes, you've won the lottery. Uh. 90 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: The people don't listen that long, and you're in the 91 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: car you listen with half a year, So it's a 92 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: whole it's a whole different to do. So we're gonna 93 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: keep a similar format though, Danny on the fifth hour 94 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: practice so on this podcast. Uh, and you can add 95 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: anything you want here, any stories you have. I know 96 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: you just got back a few days ago from from Hawaii. 97 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure to travel because i've heard my wife. My 98 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: wife wanted to go to Hawaii, and I've heard it 99 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: was not there's a lot of restrictions traveling to Hawaii. 100 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: But I will have Tarayaki Madness. That is an original story. 101 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: You will only here in the fifth hour, a little Shakespeare, 102 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: a little unexpected Shakespeare, and whatever else pops up here 103 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: on the fifth But I'm gonna start with the Tarayaki 104 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: madness and then we'll get to Danny Gee's travel log, 105 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: but the life of Mallard, which we discuss on this 106 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: podcast every Saturday. So I don't really live in interesting life. 107 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: For some reason, people seem to like me just telling 108 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 1: random stories about dumb stuff that happens to me. Um. 109 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: So I had a few things happened this week that 110 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: I have not shared radio for whatever reason, didn't have 111 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: time for it. And so the other day I was 112 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: doing some grocery shopping and you know, I picked my meal. 113 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: I don't eat that much. I fast. I'm on this 114 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: inter minute fasting diet. But it was one of the 115 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: days I ate, and so I decided I wanted to 116 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: have I mean cooking at home. Now the kitchen's done 117 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: at the house I'm living, so I had, I said, 118 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: I want taryak chicken and rice. Now the Mallard palette. 119 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: This is as close as I get the healthy Danny. 120 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: So around seven am, I decide, I'm gonna go to 121 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: the grocery store. I'm gonna buy all the ingredients to 122 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: make karaoke chicken and like the slope. And so I 123 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: go on a mission and the mission calls for me 124 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: to buy chicken and to buy taryaki sauce. And rice. 125 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: You know. That's basically it's very simple. And uh so 126 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: I I don't have a preferred brand of karyaki sauce. 127 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: So what I did was I spent about ten minutes 128 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: taking bottles of tarayaki sauce off the off the shelf, 129 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: trying to find the perfect aryaki sauce. And I did 130 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: not want to f this up. Looking at the sugar 131 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: content on the back. Oh god, no, I don't care 132 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: about that. Figure I cook it, most of that burns out. 133 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: I think, I don't know, but I'm reading, and then 134 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: I'm in my head, I'm thinking, well, some of the 135 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: some of the taryaki sauce is a little low, so 136 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: that means it's popular, So maybe I should get some 137 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: of that because that's popular. But then well maybe some 138 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: of this other stuff people have been tried, and maybe 139 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: that's good taryaki and people are missing out on it. 140 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm looking. I'm really dumb, hey minutes looking 141 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: for taryaki sauce at least. Uh and and so I 142 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: finally find something that looks good, and I'm like, all right, 143 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: this is great. I found found my magic sauce. Now 144 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: I hate the fact in California. You can't get a 145 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: grocery bag at the checkout. You have to pay for it, 146 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: And so I don't pay for it, Danny, I do 147 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: is I bringing the bag from home? And I'm like, 148 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: going to pay the tax to get a plastic bag 149 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: at the grocery store. It's ridiculous. So I refused to pay. 150 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: So I brought my own cloth bag. So again, after 151 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: about what seemed to me like thirty minutes but probably 152 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: was only ten, I put the tarayaki sauce in the bag. 153 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: It was my Eureka moment. And then I'm like, Okay, 154 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: I found the sauce. This is great. I'm right in 155 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: my goldilocks z And it was honey spicy tarayaki. Danny, 156 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: that sounds good, doesn't It does sound good? Yeah. So 157 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: then I put the bottom in the bag and I'm 158 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: moving on to now get the rice. Now the rice 159 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: and the chicken. The next thing up is the rice. 160 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: So since I moved, I now go to a different store, 161 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: so I don't know where it is. And at the 162 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: old place where I used to live, I knew where 163 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: everything was, and so I'm educating myself. So as I'm 164 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: walking around the gross store, and if you ever gone 165 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: to the store in the morning, they're still putting stuff 166 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: on the shelves. You know, it's there's a lot of 167 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: things going on, and so bam, just like that, I 168 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: end up hitting, uh, the side of the aisle and 169 00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: somehow I dropped the bag. I dropped the bag they're 170 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: at bumping into the corner of the aisle in my haste. 171 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: And I told you it was a cloth bag. Well, 172 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: it turns out the taryaki sauce I didn't realize this 173 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: at the time, was in a glass container. Yeah, kaboom, 174 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: you pulled a Jared Goff. Yeah exactly, I pulled a 175 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: bumb bug on the rug um. So the club bag, 176 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: I hear the I hear the glass break, and I'm like, 177 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: oh boy, Now, fortunately it was contained to the bag. 178 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: So they're they're all the broken glass and the delicious 179 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: spicy honey tarayaki sauces right there in the bag. So 180 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: then I'm at the point, well what do I do here. 181 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: I can't just walk out of the store because I 182 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: didn't pay for it. I don't really want to pay 183 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: for it because it's broken taryaki sauce, And so I 184 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: made the walk of shame. Danny over to one of 185 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 1: the employees there at the grocery store, and this woman 186 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: was very nice. I think she felt pity on me 187 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: because I'm such a loser. And I told her what happened, 188 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: and she said, okay, And I was a spill on 189 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: Aisle three, but there was no spill. It was in 190 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: the bag. And so I gave her the ba the 191 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: bag and she took all the glass out, gave me 192 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: back the bag, and I went on my way. And 193 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: I had to I had to get a grocery cart 194 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: because I didn't want to take I still didn't want 195 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: to get a bag. So what I did I put 196 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: everything in the grocery cart Danny and then and then 197 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: moved moved out of the store, bought everything and that 198 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: was it. So I had a tough time getting tarayaki sauce. 199 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: Who screws up getting taryaki sauce? Seriously? Now, let me 200 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: ask you would a younger Mallard you had your wheels 201 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: back in the day, would you have ran out of 202 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: the store. You know, I did debate running out of 203 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: the store. I did consider just leaving, like one are 204 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: the odds that anything's gonna happen? And I was like, 205 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, just in case I don't, and it was 206 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: really I didn't. I was gonna get caught. But my thought, 207 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: Danny was, wait a minute here, I don't want to 208 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: think about this for the next, like the next two days. Well, 209 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: maybe somebody's gonna come knocking on my door because I 210 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: broke a bottle of taryaki sauce and walked out of 211 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: the grocery. How embarrassing would that be? Can you imagine? Sorry, 212 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: we've decided to press charge, although in California I don't 213 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: think they press charges on anything these days, but but 214 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: but still, so that was my my Terrioca story. So 215 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: you got back, why Danny, Now, that's much better than 216 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: me going to buy teryaki sauce? And how many days 217 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: were you there? Give me that. I want all the 218 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: details because I've heard horror stories of traveling during the 219 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: Even though COVID's winding down, it's not winding down in 220 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: many states, including Hawaii. So what was that like? Yeah, 221 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: at first I gotta shout out my Tinder rowning because 222 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: she did the leg work. She downloaded the applications that 223 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: you have to fill out, and then they give you 224 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: like a QR code That code is important because then 225 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: they need your vaccination cards and you gotta take a 226 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: picture of the front and the back of it and 227 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: enter it into the website for Hawaii and and and 228 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: then this code you have to present at the airport 229 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: along with your reservation to go. And it's it's you know, 230 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: it is jumping through hoops, but in the end it's 231 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: worth it because they give you a clearance bracelet. It's 232 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: almost like you're going to a club, like waiting to 233 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: get into the club, which was actually a couple of 234 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: kids kicking us in the back of our airplane seats. 235 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: Um it was. It was a long flight there, and 236 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: it was packed going to Maui, but it was it 237 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: was well worth the trouble. Um once we got there 238 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: and landed, obviously, you feel that nice, warm, humid weather. 239 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: You're right in the face. As soon as you step 240 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: out of the airport. You're like, wow, I'm somewhere tropical 241 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden. And then it used to be 242 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: that they would give you Mustangs there in Hawaii. You 243 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: remember that every rental car was a Mustang or a Jeep. 244 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: Now it's just a fleet of Camaros. For some reason, 245 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: Camaros they've moved up to the camaro in that Now. 246 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: I've never been to Maui, so what's what's it like? 247 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: I've been to and I have been to Kauai. I 248 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: usually go to Kauaii the Garden Islands. Not much. There's 249 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,239 Speaker 1: like forty miles of roads in Kauai. That's it. But Maui, 250 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 1: I've heard people that have been there said it's kind 251 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: of like much nicer Orange County, where it's like beaches 252 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: everywhere and all that way. How would you describe Maui? 253 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: West Maui is super beautiful and yeah, pictures San Clemente 254 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: without all of the buildings all up and down the 255 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: beaches stacked all the way to the inland. They've done 256 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: a really good job there in Maui. Over the past 257 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: fifty years. They've had an explosion there with the resorts 258 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 1: and everything, but they've been very strategic with where they 259 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: put the buildings so that you still get all the 260 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: beautiful views. And the water is pristine, man. I mean 261 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: when you step into that water, it is so warm 262 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: and you could see your feet and obviously, you know, 263 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: we were lucky here on the West coast to have 264 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: the Pacific Ocean, but you're you're not looking at your 265 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: feet there in that water. No. In fact, I following 266 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: up on that, Danny, I refused to go in the ocean. 267 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: I have an anti ocean unless I can see my 268 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: feet because I was spoiled like you. I've been to 269 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: Hawaii a few times and I will not go now. 270 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: I've heard in Mexico there's places in me so you 271 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: can see your feet, and so maybe by the water there, 272 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: but in the West coast here in California, the water 273 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: is thick and kind of murky and you can't you 274 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: can't see me. But that is awesome. And did you 275 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: go snorkeling at all? Did you see any seat turtles 276 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: or any of that stuff. We did, so it's the 277 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: first time I've ever been snorkeling, which was really cool. 278 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: And we went out to what was a volcanic rock. 279 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: It's not an active volcano, although that would have made 280 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: it more exciting. Um and the boat pulls up and 281 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: actually before we got to that rock, there was just 282 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: the middle of the ocean where the dude was like, Okay, look, 283 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: we know a spot where there's lots of sea turtles 284 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: and we're gonna take you there first. So they give 285 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: you the gear and you are literally just in the 286 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: middle of the ocean. And I'm not gonna lie, you know, 287 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: after doing all of the animal thunderdome stories I've done 288 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: over the years, I'm like, well, wouldn't this be ironic 289 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: if I get taken out in the middle of the 290 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: ocean like some sort of sea creature. Um, So they 291 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: give you like a floaty some of the diving gear. 292 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: Looking down into the reef, there were tons of these 293 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: turtles just swimming. And these turtles, I mean, obviously you're 294 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: in their territory. They don't care that the humans are there. 295 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: As long as you're not splashing hard and making lots 296 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: of noise, they swim right up to you. So we 297 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: literally were looking at these turtles like right in front 298 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: of us, which was really crazy. And the water was 299 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: so salty that you float super easy. So even if 300 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: you're big guys like us, you're still just there's really 301 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: no way to sink. Yeah. The nicest place I've ever 302 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: been water wise was the Napolyi coast of Oahu. Was unbelievable. 303 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: It's like the side there's nobody living there, It's just 304 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: all rocks and ocean, and they filmed a bunch of 305 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: TV shows and movies on that side, because it's just 306 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: it's it's like you're out in the middle of nowhere 307 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: and it's beautiful, bright blue water. It's really, really, really awesome. 308 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: How is the food? My only complaint with Hawaii is 309 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: the food's terrible. It's not big guy friendly food. I 310 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: had the worst Asian meal I've ever had there, which 311 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: is odd. I was confused by they everything was fried. 312 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: Normally things fried are good, but I couldn't really make 313 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: out what it was it was. It was terrible whatever. 314 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: I went to this Chinese restaurant I don't remember the 315 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: name of it's probably gone now. There was only one 316 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: restaurant that I liked. It was an Italian restaurant. It 317 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: was pretty good. But how how was the food in Hawaii? 318 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: I would say that you probably should stay close to 319 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: your resort. The restaurants at the resort, although they're overpriced, 320 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: it's worth it. That's why you save up to go 321 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: on vacation. Um. But we had man there's a place 322 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: called the Monkey Pod restaurant five stars. It was expensive, 323 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: but it wasn't one of the more expensive ones that 324 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: we saw. The appetizers, the flavors, the drinks pretty amazing. 325 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: And then we were at the West End because we 326 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: cashed in all of our Marriott points. The restaurants they 327 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: had right there at the resort were just unbelievable. So yeah, 328 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: we really got lucky with the food on on the trip. 329 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: So you weren't eating at Mickey D's. You were not 330 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: eating there was you know, when they took us out. 331 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: And by the way, we also saw some whales, which 332 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: was pretty cool. Through the whale watching and there wasn't 333 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: people looking at me through binoculars. We saw some humpbacks 334 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: and then the boat docked and they gave us sandwiches 335 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: and acts of doritos and we're like, okay, well, you 336 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: know whatever, we're out here on the water. We were 337 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: so hungry though from all the snorkeling. Even those generic 338 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: sandwiches tasted amazing. So yeah, I mean we avoided, uh, 339 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: you know, the tourist traps, except for right there at 340 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: the resort where you're stuck at the trap. So what 341 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: are you gonna do, right, as long as you can 342 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: park your car, you know, you got a budget. The 343 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: fact that they're gonna just rape you with that daily 344 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: fee to park your car, and let's just eat here 345 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: at the resort. Let's pretend like we're very, very wealthy 346 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: for a few days, and then when we get back 347 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: to the main land, then we'll go to the value menu. 348 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: Well that's a smart, that's a smart normally. Well, they 349 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: do say that the best spice is is hunger, right, 350 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: that everything that takes everything says better when youre hungry. 351 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, that the parking fees of the hotels, Oh 352 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: what a ridiculous I mean, just build it into the 353 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 1: cost of who's going. How many people are going to 354 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: Hawaii and not renting cars? I mean maybe that happens 355 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: a lot. I don't I don't know the numbers on that, 356 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: but most people I would think, you're going on vacation, 357 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: you save up, as you said, for vacation, You're gonna 358 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: rent a car so you can drive around. It's convenient. Now, 359 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: is there a Costco in Maui? Because then there is 360 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: all right, because uh in Waho there or not a 361 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: wah who Kawaii there's one? And I did eat at 362 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: Costco several times because the meals are so outrady. I 363 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: was like, you know, I'm a I'm a tight water. 364 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: I was like I'll like and the Costco had views 365 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: of like beautiful green mountains. It was amazing, like, yeah, 366 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: you eating free samples while you have a view. That 367 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: is a vacation in itself. That's dream territory. Now. I 368 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: had heard that when you go to Hawaii they you 369 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: have to give your itinerary where you're going to be 370 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: every day. Is that? Is that still a thing or 371 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: did you not have to do that? No, we didn't 372 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: have to do that, but we did have to keep 373 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: filling out these questionnaires about if we were feeling well. 374 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: They want to make sure you have no symptoms, and 375 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: they were very strict about your mask being on. In fact, 376 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: a couple of times we went into those ABC stores. Yeah, 377 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: for chips and water and stuff like that. I got 378 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: yelled at several times because of my mask wasn't up 379 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: over my nose. Uh. It felt very Disneyland like pre 380 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: lowering their restrictions down. We got yelled at and chase 381 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: there at the park because the mask wasn't up over 382 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: our nose completely and it's like a school teacher running 383 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: after you scolding you. We caught that on several occasions there. 384 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: So they're very very strict about the masks being fully 385 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: over your dome. Yeah, I'll probably wait until they didn't 386 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: knock off that nonsense. I've read too many studies. We 387 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: had John Zigler on the podcast couple of weeks ago, 388 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: and he pointed out the data indicates that the mask 389 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: doesn't do much of anything, that it is more for. 390 00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: It's like mask theater, and he's given many examples on 391 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: has and I've read other people that have studied it 392 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: and looked at the actual science. You're supposed to follow 393 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: the science, and I know it makes people feel good 394 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: that you wear the mask, but uh, if you know, 395 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,719 Speaker 1: if you can smell the cigarette smoke of somebody smoking 396 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: near you, chances are stuff is gonna get in there. 397 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: And they've improven that there's really no different effect in 398 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: southern California, as John pointed out, in Orange County where 399 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: they don't have strict mask mandates, and Los Angeles, there 400 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: is no real difference between those that are wearing masks 401 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: and those people. Don't like to hear that, but that's 402 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: the reality. A right, Um, moving on this Shakespeare story, 403 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: I want to tell this, so this is something that 404 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: happened and into the dropping of the honey Spicy Karayaki Sauce. 405 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: So the past week I had an awkward moment. I'm 406 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: doing the show. I get a d M from Marcel 407 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. First of all, that's odd because Marcel never 408 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: sends me d M and I normally I don't even 409 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: check during the show. I normally just I don't want 410 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: to deal with that bull crap, and I don't I 411 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: don't have me to do it. However, this one caught 412 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: my attention. I just happened. It happened come in at 413 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: the right time, and I was looking at my direct messages, 414 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: and so Marcel told me, he said call me. It 415 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: was very upset about something that Blair in Maine had 416 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: done or something like that. And so I wrote back, 417 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: I said, Marseille, I am doing the show. I can't. 418 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: I can't call you back. And then so he wanted 419 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: me to call him, and he said again, he said 420 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: call me, So I said, and I said, but I 421 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: don't have your number. I can't. I can't guess. I 422 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: probably could guess your number, it would take a long time. 423 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: So Marcella actually sent me his phone number on direct message. 424 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: Now I had no intention of actually calling him. I 425 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: just thought, you know, i'd be nice. And so at 426 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 1: that point he gives me his number and he wants 427 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: me to come. So I'm debating in my head, like 428 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: do I call this guy or not? And much like 429 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 1: Shakespeare was to call or not to call? Right into 430 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: the Shakespeare line and uh So, as you know, I've 431 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: had some bad experiences with Doc Mike from Chicago, who 432 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: still calls me, called me for twenty years. I gave 433 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: him my number he was going to jail. I said 434 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: call me when you get out, that's it, and don't 435 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: call me after that. And he's called me every week, 436 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: sometimes three or four times a week, sometimes even more 437 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,719 Speaker 1: than that. So I was like, all right, I know 438 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do the Star sixty seven. 439 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna block my number, but I'm gonna call Marcella 440 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: because I said I would call him. So I'm gonna 441 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna Star sixty seven keep him a call. So 442 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: the show ends and I decided, you know, flip the 443 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: old coin. In my head, I'm like, all right, let's 444 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: do it. Here we go, we're on, and call Marcella. 445 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: So I work up the courage and I dial the number. 446 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: It's a Brooklyn number. I looked it up online to 447 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,719 Speaker 1: make sure it was legit. It was Brooklyn number and 448 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: ring ring ring, ring, wing wing wing wing. Answer. I 449 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: hear a cloud and not a cloud, A clear, a clear, 450 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: well spoken I would voice hello, and I'm thinking more 451 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: of that does not sound like Marcel. Marcell doesn't sound 452 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: anything like that. He's not loud, he's not clear, he 453 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: doesn't say hello the way that anyway, So it doesn't 454 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: sound like Marcell. So I then have a character. I 455 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: knew it. Yeah, yeah, exactly. He's on the payroll. So 456 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: I I had a decision to make game. Do I 457 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: hang up at that point and just pretend it didn't happen, 458 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: or do I engage whoever this person is. So for 459 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: some reason I decided to engage. I should have just 460 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: hung up because there's nothing they could attract me down. 461 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: It was an unlisted that blocked my number, So I say, 462 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: it's oursel. They're thinking that maybe this is somebody that 463 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: lives with Marcel in the projects of Brooklyn. The voice 464 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: on the other side, very clear, spoken, well, punctuation great. 465 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: All that says no, he does not live here, So like, 466 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: oh crap, you know, Marcel gave me the wrong number. 467 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: This is terrible, and then he asked who is this 468 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: and then I explained, I was trying to get a 469 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: hold of Marcel, you know, he's a caller to my 470 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: radio show. And this guy gave me the number, and 471 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: I apologize, and then the guy stops me said, wait 472 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: a minute, don't hang up, don't hang up. He says, 473 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: this is my this is so as he gave his 474 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: name and I didn't recognize it. And then I said, wait, 475 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: my uncle Dynamite, which is Marcelle's. Yeah, he says, I'm 476 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: Uncle Dynamite, and it was Uncle Dynamite, the famous Uncle Dynamite. 477 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: And so I talked to him on the phone for 478 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: a couple of minutes and he's like very concerned. He's like, 479 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: was Marcell causing your problems? What's going on here? You 480 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: know that he's taking yeah exactly. So you know, he 481 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: was like, no, Marcell's you know, he's I said, he's fine. 482 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: He's the character on the show. We have fun with him, 483 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: and he has fun on the show. And uh, he says, okay, 484 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: just let me know if there's any problems with Marcel, 485 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: right like that. So it was very brief and we 486 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: I said, have a good Thanksgiving whatever, and he hung 487 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: up and then that's it. So then I messaged Marcella, 488 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: I'm hate Marcelle. What the heck you gave me Uncle 489 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: Dynamites something? You didn't give me your number? What do 490 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: you expect me to call you? You gave me Uncle 491 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 1: dynamites him. Then he writes back in a very angry 492 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: like for Marcella's saying, do not call Uncle Dynamite. Do 493 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: not call Uncle Dynamite. I wrote back, I said, too late, Marcel, 494 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: too late, too late. Why did he give you the number? Then? Exactly, Well, 495 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, Marcel's got a few issues, and one of 496 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: his issues, Danny is he I don't think he keeps 497 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: really good track of numbers, but he does know the 498 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: number to call into Fox Sports Radio. He's memorized that 499 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: he gets that one right all the time. I remember 500 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: we tried. There was a listener. I think it might 501 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: have been Tammy and Montesa. Somebody wanted to send him 502 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: a gift, a care package because he has a terrible diet. 503 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: And so Cooper Loop was trying to get Marcel's address. 504 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: That's a hard get, Dan, That's that's a hard get. 505 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: And finally he trackeded that and we learned Marcel does 506 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: not like to leave his apartment in Brooklyn to get 507 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: the mail, so that became another issue. We had to 508 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: explain to Marcel, Hey, there's like food waiting for you, 509 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: but you can't. It's gonna go bad if you don't 510 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: get so that that was the whole thing. Uh, interesting times, 511 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: interesting times, not to love them. Militia, man, I missed 512 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: the militia. You know, after all these years, I still 513 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: get tons of direct messages and have longstanding friendships with 514 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: so many. Your audience definitely is the most fun out 515 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: of any radio show in the country. Thank you, Danny. 516 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: Be prepared because I did not announce this before the 517 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: mail bag. We're gonna the mailbag on Sunday's podcast, but 518 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: you will be peppered questions.

I know you are now you found 520 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: the Queen Tenderroni at this moment, but you still might 521 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: have to give about advice. You have a lifetime of 522 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: experience in the the war zone that is dating. Yeah, 523 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: and I met her online. The proof is in the pudding. Yeah, 524 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: and I met my wife online, but a long time ago. 525 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: And I I've been out of the game for over 526 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: a decade now, so I've lost my I've lost my way. 527 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: I thought I ever had I didn't have any when 528 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: you had to do a dial up connection. Yes see, 529 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: I did die a o L I had my I 530 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: was an aight old chat back in the back in then, 531 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: you know, I stumbled into when I called Uncle Dynamite. 532 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was called Uncle Dynamite, but and 533 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: he said hello, and then I said hello, and I 534 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: was like, why do we say hello? I stumbled down 535 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: a rabbit hole on do you know the story? The 536 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: backstory of Hello, Danny? Do you know why we say hello? Yeah? 537 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: I don't, but it's kind of interesting because I was 538 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: wondering about the whole Aloha thing, because obviously I heard 539 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: that for a few days NonStop, as it's hello and 540 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: goodbye and mahallow m. That's the extent of my Hawaiian 541 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: and those ABC stores. I've seen him in Vegas, but 542 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: that's it. I've seen in Vegas and Hawaii, and that 543 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: seems to be the number one travel destination for people 544 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: in Hawaii. They love going to Vegas, love the get 545 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: and listening to the radio in veidu in in Hawaii. 546 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: Like a lot of the commercials like travel packages to 547 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: go to Vegas at least years ago. When I was there, 548 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: it's like a big to do. Then the locals were 549 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: commenting on my raiders gear NonStop and showing me pictures 550 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: of a special Raider paint job that one of the 551 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: valet guys had on his truck. I heard more than 552 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: uh five times from locals. They're saying, I can't wait 553 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: to get to the stadium. So you're right, they love 554 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: Las Vegas with a passion, and now that there's pro 555 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: football there. Yeah. So when you're in Hawaii, you can 556 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: either go back to the States, which is a five 557 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: hour fight, or you can go to Guam. How far 558 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,239 Speaker 1: away is Guam from Hawaii. It's got to be at 559 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: least another three hours, I would think, right. I know 560 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: when I when I've tried with to Hawaii that people 561 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: stop and on the way to Guam. You'll stop off 562 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: and Honolulu or something like that for a few hours 563 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: and then keep going to Guam. So it can't be 564 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: that long long a flight. Looking every time I go 565 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: to Hawaii, I see the Guam and I think of 566 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: Vic the brick you've gotta get on this podcast. At 567 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: some point. Vic works when we normally record the podcast, 568 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: or sleeps. But I've known Vic for years. But Vic 569 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: got his start Victor Brick and legend in Guam. He's 570 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: a waiter in Guam. It's one of the great he's 571 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: told me the story before. It's a great story. Working 572 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: a waiter. He didn't really know what he wanted to 573 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: do after school. And a guy that came in that 574 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: owned like I think, one of the radio stations, and 575 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: somehow he ended up getting offered a job. And you 576 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: guys been in radio and television for forty fifty years 577 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: or whatever. It's crazy. Flight. By the way, eight hours 578 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: are you sing from from Hawaii? It's eight hours to Guam. Wow, 579 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: that's crazy. Uh So as far as the Hello thing, 580 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: I spent a minute long investigation minutes long here investigation 581 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: and just the facts. I needed an answer. So here's 582 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: what I found, Danny, according to my internet research. Minutes 583 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: long investigation. Now, Alexander Graham Bell, who is credited with 584 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: inventing the phone all those some debate whether that actually happened. 585 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: He had suggested that we should say ahoy when we 586 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: answer the phone, ahoy, And during the sevente century in America, 587 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: pilgrims would typically say good Morrow instead of hello or 588 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: how now. That's weird. That sounds like something Marcel would say, 589 00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: how now? Or how do you fare? Or what year? 590 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: They didn't say hi and say how are you any 591 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: of that stuff. But Alexander Graham Bell wanted ahoy, which 592 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: is a maritime greeting. We've all seen pirate movies, right, 593 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: AHOI maybe right, it's a classic line. I kind of 594 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: like that, ahoy. I might have to do that. I 595 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: might have to when I answered the whone, Now, AHOI 596 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: would I be a nerd or cool? Which would I be? Danny? 597 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,479 Speaker 1: I think you know the answer to that, all right, 598 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: but I was hoping maybe you'd you'd give me what 599 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: the answer I wanted. Anyway, So it was Thomas Edison 600 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: who equipped the first telephone exchanges. Now originally when Alexander 601 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,719 Speaker 1: I didn't know this until I fell down this rabbit hole. 602 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: So when Alexander Graham Bell came up with the telephone, 603 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: when he was the original telephone, it was a direct 604 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: hard line connection, so there was no need to ring 605 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: because the line was always open, and so you don't 606 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: need to say hello, you just talked down the line 607 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: you need to. But it was Thomas Edison who in 608 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: eighteen seventies seven, during an experience experiment, he shouted the 609 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: first audio ever said into what became the telephone. Hellou 610 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: or hallu was what he said, hallou h A L 611 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: l O hallou, And that term was used in the 612 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: eighteen seventies for inciting dogs on a hunt. So if 613 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: you wanted to I guess the dogs to hunt, you 614 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: said hello and they got in hunting. Period, the legend 615 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: was born that hallou turned into Hello, Hello, and that 616 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: turned out to be the the way that But just 617 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: think if it had been ahoy, we'd have instead of Hello, kitty, 618 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: we'd have Halloi Kitty doesn't sound as good? Or what 619 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: are some other Hello products we've had? There's the Adele song, right, 620 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: the Adele song that Lionel Richie's famous song. And also 621 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: it made me think of that movie I just looked 622 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: it up. Is from Crazy People. Remember that old dadly 623 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,439 Speaker 1: Moore movie with Daryl Hannah. You know I probably did 624 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: see that. That's right in my wheelhouse for movies when 625 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: I did see a lot of movies. So I'm gonna 626 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: say that I did see that YouTube poemork the Hello song. 627 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: There was a crazy guy got on the piano and 628 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: he did a Hello song. Is that okay? All right? 629 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: I have to check it. I'll go on YouTube when 630 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: the podcast is done, and I will I will check 631 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 1: it out. Now speaking of YouTube, Danny, as a fellow 632 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: radio guy yourself who started even younger than me, we 633 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: learned that on the podcast a couple of weeks ago 634 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: before you were part of the podcast, when you were 635 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: just hanging out schmoozing with us.

It did make a 658 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: lot of people curious about broadcasting until this day. That 659 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: is definitely the show when it comes to radio stations. 660 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely if if you have, I promise you were. If 661 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: you've not seen it before, somehow you're like missed it. 662 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: Check it out. Even if you've seen it before the 663 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 1: turkey drop w k RP typing into YouTube and you 664 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 1: will You'll love it. I think you'll love it. And 665 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: the great thing about all my years in radio now 666 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: pretty much everywhere I've worked there's a version of the 667 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: character on the show. Like they really nailed it like 668 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: there's there's the the guy that runs the station, Mr Carlson, 669 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: who's there's always that Mr. Carlson type character. Uh, there's 670 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 1: the Johnny Fever, doctor DJ veteran radio guy kind of 671 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,399 Speaker 1: have been around less nestman, the person that takes things 672 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: way too seriously. Like all of those things, all of 673 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: those things are accurate even to this day. That they 674 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: totally got that part right. It was great. Yeah. Shout 675 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,320 Speaker 1: out to Scott Mahalak, who was my general manager slash 676 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: program director of k a t M Modesto Stockton, Sacramento 677 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: in the mid nineties. I was a kid and was 678 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: one of my first radio stations and he was like 679 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: a real life character, like one of those guys on 680 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: that TV show because instead of getting a turkey sound 681 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: effect for the station, he brought in on a rope 682 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: a live turkey to the radio station and he kept 683 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: it on the patio right outside of the conference room. 684 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: There was a closed off little patio where some of 685 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: the broadcasters would go smoke their cigarettes, and we had 686 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: a turkey tied up out there for a week and 687 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: they would parade it into the studio once a shift 688 00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,399 Speaker 1: and let it gobble live on one of the microphones. Oh, 689 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,879 Speaker 1: that's outstanding. That is wonderful. I've never done I've never 690 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: done a live turkey. I don't think I've ever had 691 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: Parker the snow dog. That's as deep as we when 692 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: you were there for that, I think when he came in, 693 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 1: that was the only I think the only animal. We 694 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 1: used to have Auto the drinking dog, but not in studio. 695 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: The craziest thing I've done, I had an eating contest 696 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,720 Speaker 1: years ago on the weekend show. We had Major League 697 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: eating sent in this guy, big Sexy, who actually became 698 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: a radio guy. He became a radio guy after that. 699 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: And he came in and I thought, and we had 700 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: paramedics there in case he choked on one of the dogs. 701 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: We had a representative to keep time, you know, track 702 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: of the time. Was crazy. It was so ridiculous. But 703 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: I've never had a live turkey. That's that's pretty cool. 704 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: The other thing about Thanksgiving we think about it. For me, 705 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: it's w k RP the turkey drop. But every every 706 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: music guy I've ever talked to, not that I know 707 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: many in radio Thanksgiving Weekend, if you have a classic 708 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 1: rock format, you know what song always gets played Thanksgiving weekend, Danny. 709 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: You know it's in. Let me see here now it's 710 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm putting on the spot here it's in. If I 711 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: give you the time of the song, I think you'll 712 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: get it right. It's an eighteen minutes song something Alice's 713 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: Something Something. Uh. It's an old song from the nineteen 714 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: sixties about these guys got arrested on Thanksgiving because something 715 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: you did on Thanksgiving and it's Alice's. It's on YouTube 716 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: all so I've had guys say, oh yeah, we play 717 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: that every Thanksgiving. It's like a tradition. Thanksgiving night will 718 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: play the song, which has to be a DJ's friend. 719 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: Now everything is automated, but the old days, you actually 720 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: had to play the music, and so you had to 721 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 1: be where you're supposed to be to play the music. 722 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,920 Speaker 1: Now everything's kind of it's a lot easier for a 723 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: lot of people to do it. But in the old 724 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 1: days to have an eighteen minute song, Danny. I worked 725 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: out a rock station as a kid, and I would 726 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: play November Rain from Guns and Roses. One of my 727 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 1: first girlfriends would come to the radio station. We would 728 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,399 Speaker 1: make out by her car as and she would have 729 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: the station on in her car, so I could hear 730 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: and monitor what was happening, and we'd be you know, 731 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: uh doing a Bible study out in the parking lot, 732 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: and I would run in when I knew it was 733 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 1: the last thirty seconds of the song. So yeah, back 734 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 1: back in my day, it was guns and Roses. November Rain. 735 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: That was the long song to play. My program director 736 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: when he would have his meetings with us about what 737 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 1: we were doing on the air, he would tell me, 738 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 1: and don't think I haven't noticed how you play November 739 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 1: Rain every single night. That's great.

That 743 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: would be the song that we think that that just 744 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: I just looked it up here Alice. His restaurant is 745 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: in the name of the song, so I guess you 746 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: haven't heard that. But it's r Low Guthrie.
