00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: any listeners. I want to see if anyone will will

61
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: hang out. And I didn't schedule anything. You know, normally

62
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 3: with these meet and greets, you have someone who either

63
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 3: owns a restaurant or has a friend that owns the restaurant,

64
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: or puts the legwork in boots on the ground. They

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: set up a venue and then you go there. It's

66
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: like we did in Vegas. You know, our guys Slug

67
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: in Vegas did a great job. He set the thing

68
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: up at the bar. We had a great time. It

69
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: was a lot of fun. Regina and Minnesota. She put

70
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: that together. Our buddy in Charleston, he set up the

71
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: deal down there. So that's usually what happens. But I

72
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: was like, you know, I'm here. We have a lot

73
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: of listeners in Boston. We do very well in the

74
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: Sports Hub. The show does great there. It's the number

75
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: one sports station in the country. All four four hours

76
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: are cleared on the Sports Hub. It's it's a big deal.

77
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: So I was like, I was like, I told my wife, I,

78
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: why don't we go down to the North End. I

79
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 3: love the North End of Boston. It's my favorite place

80
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: in Boston. So in this bakery, which is great Boba's Bakery,

81
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: because it's open.

82
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: I think it's open all night.

83
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: I know it's open to like three in the morning,

84
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: and they do great business at night because people go

85
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: eat the Italian food and there's a lot of college

86
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: kids in Boston. They go out drinking and partying and

87
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: then they go and they eat Canoli's at like two

88
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,559
Speaker 3: in the morning, and so they do very good business.

89
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 3: So we got back the hotel. We drove all day

90
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 3: at like nine to nine thirty.

91
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: I think it was around then. Maybe not, it might

92
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: have been earlier, but.

93
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: I'd send a comment out at some point, probably a

94
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: few hours actually before that, and I said, all right,

95
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 3: we're gonna do a flash mob Boston mallord get together

96
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: type thing. If anybody wants to meet me. I'm in town.

97
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: I have a little time. I'll be at Boba's Bakery.

98
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: And I think it was like, I'm not sure when

99
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: it's gonna be, but it's gonna be too. I'll keep

100
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 3: you posted. Gave a tentative time, and my wife's like, hey,

101
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: we're you know, we're gonna be in the North End.

102
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: Why don't we go eat dinner. There's there's great Italian

103
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: restaurants there and the great Italian food Mecca in America.

104
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 3: Better Italian food than in Italy. So like, all right, fine,

105
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: and so I need some chicken palm. But we had

106
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: to wait. So we got this this restaurant. The most

107
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: amazing part of this is we found parking. You know

108
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: how hard it is to find parking, Danny on the

109
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 3: North End of Boston. It's street parking. It's it's like

110
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: toon Town. It's a small world. It's it's crazy. But

111
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: we found parking, and so we went to the restaurant.

112
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 5: Well, a lot of people there just go with getaway drivers.

113
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 3: It's pretty, it's it's an interesting place, Danny. We we

114
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: found parking, we had to wait for a table. Finally

115
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: got a table. They took their time giving us the

116
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: food and so we ate and then I sent out

117
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 3: a message on I'm like, okay, I'm heading over to Bobo's.

118
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: I'll be there, you know, ten thirty eleven whatever it was.

119
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 3: It was ten thirty.

120
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: Uh.

121
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: So we walked over and I didn't think anyone was

122
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 3: really gonna be there. I was, you know, probably be

123
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 3: very disappointed. But yeah, there were a bunch of people

124
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 3: showed up. It was. It was.

125
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: It was cool.

126
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: We had a considering that I gave people a few

127
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: hours notice.

128
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: Uh it was it was neat.

129
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 3: Blind Scott, who lives down the street, so it was

130
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 3: like basically at his house. He walked over with Dylan,

131
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 3: his dog ru ruh.

132
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 5: Two of my favorite Bostonians.

133
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

134
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 3: Then you had a guy who happened to be named Dylan,

135
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: but not the dog, just this cool guy that paints

136
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: hockey rinks.

137
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 4: Oh that must have been confusing anytime Blind Scott yelled

138
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 4: for Dylan.

139
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a little a little weird, and but

140
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: Dylan's like a really cool deal guy and he he's

141
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: such a big fan of the show. He wanted to

142
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: come down. It was raining that I should point that out.

143
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: It was, you know, still raining in Boston, and he

144
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 3: left his girlfriend in the car and he walked over.

145
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: We're all standing in the rain. We're standing in the

146
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: rain in front of Bova's Bakery. I got blind Scott,

147
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 3: his dog, deal, my wife was with me. I got Dylan,

148
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: the other Dylan's there. We're all getting soaked. And then

149
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: Masshole Mickey, the legend Masshole Mickey. He drove an hour

150
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: and a half in the rain, last.

00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,080

157
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: make sure it still works. And he drove ninety minutes

158
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: in the rain to stand outside and hang out. That's

159
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 3: how big a fit end of the show he is.

160
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: Just I was just so I was so taken aback

161
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: by that it was awesome. It was great to meet him.

162
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: Cool guy and obviously loves loves the show and what

163
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: we do, and you know, give me his whole backstory

164
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: and all that. I mean, get the guy's already back

165
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: at work because he doesn't have he has to work.

166
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: He doesn't have this job where he can take months off,

167
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 3: and he's got family and kids. He's got to put

168
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: food on on the plate and all that. So he

169
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: drives a truck and I think.

170
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: He does deliveries.

171
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 5: I believe.

172
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: I believe around Boston.

173
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 3: So he was, he was there, We were all standing around,

174
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: he took some photos, were standing in the rain and

175
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 3: all that, and uh, you know, raining and raining and raining.

176
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 3: And then I was like, I got to get out

177
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 3: of here because this is ridiculous, the weather and and whatnot.

178
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 3: And so then I was like, I told the wife,

179
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, listen, it's not it's raining, But

180
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: why don't we just we can go back to the

181
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 3: to the car. We had parked a few blocks away,

182
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: and my wife said, no, I'm not I'm not doing that.

183
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: I'm not walking you know, four blocks in the ring.

184
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: So I said, all right, I'll bite the bullet, just

185
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: call an uber. So she calls an uber. Now it's

186
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 3: it's rush pricing for uber because it's it was like

187
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: Friday night, it's kind of late, and it's there's not

188
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: a lot of people who are available, so.

189
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: We paid for it was a long wait.

190
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 3: Anyway, this taxi pulls up and it's filled with these

191
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: college kids the taxi and so all right, fine whatever,

192
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: and I didn't think of it, and the taxi driver

193
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: starts shaking us down. He's like, hey, you want to ride?

194
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: And my wife's like how much? You know again, we're

195
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: going four blocks. We're going four blocks, and so my

196
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: wife gives him the address and the guy says thirty bucks. Yeah,

197
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: and I'm like absolutely not. So then the guy's like

198
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: shaken down the wife. He's like, well, you know, if

199
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: you wait call for an uber, you know it's going

200
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 3: to take you half an hour, and you know, you know,

201
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: maybe even longer than that. You're standing in the rain.

202
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: I'm right here right now. I've got you know, kids,

203
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: I've got you know, I have all these bills I

204
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: need to pay, I need money, and those whole this

205
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 3: whole thing, which is total bullshit because I know for

206
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: a fact, knowing how cabs are supposed to work. They

207
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 3: have this thing called a meter, right, and and the

208
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: way where you get in the cab is like a

209
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: couple bucks to get in the cab, and then for

210
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: every mile or whatever they charge you. Whatever it did.

211
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 3: But if they had charged us New York City prices,

212
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: I know we're in Boston, that cab ride would have

213
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 3: been maybe twelve bucks, maybe twelve bucks, thirty bucks.

214
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: And my wife's like, well this, just do it. I

215
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: want to get out of the rain.

216
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: So, you know, Danny, every once in a while, you

217
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 3: got to take one for the team. So we got

218
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 3: absolutely ripped off by a Boston cabby to go four

219
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 3: blocks thirty bucks. Thirty bucks because it happened to be raining.

220
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: Ah yeah, good good times, good time. Now the one

221
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: that got away, the one I'm bummed out about. The

222
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: person that I also wanted to meet that I didn't

223
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: get a chance to meet. This guy, I would argue,

224
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: is the biggest fan of the show that I had, Alf,

225
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: the alien o Pinter who Alf lives kind of near Springfield,

226
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 3: so it's a bit of a drive and I had

227
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 3: reached out to Alf to let him know, and he

228
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 3: follows me on X and all that. I said, Hey,

229
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 3: I'm going to be there. I'd love to meet you.

230
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 3: And Alf wanted to do it, but the weather was terrible.

231
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: I totally get it. The weather was bad and he

232
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: didn't like you know, driving at night and parking on

233
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 3: the North End is terrible, and so he just didn't

234
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: end up doing it, which is a bummer. But he

235
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 3: was considering it, but it didn't happen. So Alf still

236
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: a man of.

237
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: Mystery or alien of mystery. So there is that.

238
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 3: But nothing I do Danny can match the tales of

239
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: Danny G Radio. The life and times of Danny G Radio,

240
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: the microphone throttler, a man with a young child.

241
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, CoA had his first birthday which was an

242
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 4: adventure and then some I'll put it this way to

243
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 4: wrap up his first birthday party, which was great. By

244
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 4: the way, everybody from the radio show in the afternoon,

245
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 4: Covino and Rich they were able to make the party.

246
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 4: We did it in beautiful Oxnard Shores at Mandalay Beach.

247
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 4: There perfect weather when we left the San Fernando Valley.

248
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,599
Speaker 4: It was one hundred degrees when we landed in Oxnard

249
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 4: by the water. It was a beautiful seventy two and

250
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: sunny with a little bit of a breeze. Put out

251
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 4: the lawn chairs. I put out the that Have you

252
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 4: ever seen the game ladder Ball?

253
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 3: No? I have no. What is that?

254
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,239
Speaker 4: If you have a get together, it's worth the investment,

255
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 4: Like the pro ladder ball set needs to be sturdy

256
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 4: because you throw these two balls that are tethered together,

257
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 4: try to hook them onto three different levels.

258
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 5: Think cornhole. It's the same kind of scoring.

259
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, okay, now I didn't know that was

260
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: what it was called. Yeah, that's a cold balls are

261
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: different colors, right, not the kind of balls I like.

262
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. So I had played this when we were

263
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 4: camping in more Obey. You know, I think it's like

264
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 4: seventy eighty bucks for a really good version of the

265
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 4: game because you don't want it to fall down when

266
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 4: your balls hit it, so well, you don't want to

267
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 4: falling when your ball smack it.

268
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, to protect the balls.

269
00:13:53,400 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, So eighty dollars for some good balls. It

270
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 4: was well worth it, though, man, because that game was

271
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 4: a big hit. There was one incident there. My wife

272
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 4: was also celebrating the middle kid's birthday because he was

273
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 4: on his way to Sooner Country. As I talked about

274
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 4: a couple of weekends ago. Birthday was on August tenth,

275
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 4: so we did that a week early to combine the

276
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 4: two birthday parties. Koa, he gets his birthday cake, he

277
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 4: sticks his foot in it. Oh, he gets a little

278
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 4: taste of it. Wasn't interested in the cake, ben He

279
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 4: really just wanted the toy sharks that were on top

280
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 4: of it. He wanted to smash it with his fist

281
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 4: in his foot, slap around a little bit.

282
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 5: And then my wife.

283
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: He brings out the second cake for the middle Sun

284
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: gives a little speech to everybody about how proud she

285
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 4: is of him for getting accepted to Oklahoma and explain

286
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 4: that he was going to be on his way to

287
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: go start school and she gets emotional.

288
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 5: He goes over and gives her a big hug.

289
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 4: Problem she had had the cake in her hands at

290
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 4: this time. She tries to do the waitress move. She

291
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 4: slips the cake into one hand and holds it. Think

292
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 4: about how a major d would be holding a.

293
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: Ladder statue of liberty.

294
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 4: Yes, and the cake proceeds to slide off of it,

295
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 4: slide off her hand and smashes onto the ground. It's

296
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 4: a total pancake. It was a big marble sheet cake.

297
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 4: This thing literally was a pancake. But to her credit,

298
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 4: she didn't flinch, She held the hug.

299
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: She stayed in the moment.

300
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 4: Her mom was the only one who got the crash

301
00:15:44,800 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 4: on tape. She has crashed footage. The faces around this

302
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 4: cake splashing on the ground were marvelous, kind of like

303
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 4: that still photo we look at sometimes of Michael Jordan

304
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 4: and that amazing shot he made in Utah.

305
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, at first, she didn't know.

306
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 4: How to react, whether to laugh or be upset about

307
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 4: all the calories going down the drain. Nobody even got

308
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 4: to taste this thing. Of course, that didn't stop rich Davis.

309
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 4: He went down with his hand, grabbed a scoop of

310
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 4: the cake in his hand and ate it, just.

311
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 5: To let her know it still tastes.

312
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, well the part that wasn't touching the grass.

313
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: You can pay you do it quick.

314
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 3: You're probably okay, right, you're right.

315
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: I don't know that was the cake, the semi cake disaster,

316
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 4: but it wound up being a funny moment. The night

317
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 4: was finally over, we collapsed into chairs in the hotel room.

318
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: My wife looked at me, and she said, we are

319
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 4: not having another birthday party until he's like five years old.

320
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 5: And that's if he asks for one.

321
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 3: In the moment that she's saying that, but you know,

322
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 3: given a little bit of time, she'll be, oh, we

323
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 3: gotta have a party. You know, this is like this

324
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 3: is probably the last kid or whatever.

325
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 4: You know, that whole thing, right, Yeah, it's kind of

326
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 4: that same theory when you ask people why in the

327
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 4: hell they decided to have another kid.

328
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 5: You know, it's a long, long nine months. It zaps you.

329
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 4: It's it's obviously super memorable and special, but at the

330
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 4: same time, flat out exhausted, and you wonder how do

331
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 4: people have multiple kids? And she tells me that the

332
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 4: way it works is that once people fast forward a

333
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 4: couple of years and the kid is one two years old,

334
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 4: they're not thinking back to how hard the whole process was.

335
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 5: They just have the end result. So then people make

336
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 5: the mistake of doing it again.

337
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, they block out. It's like you get in the

338
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: car accidents and you block out the bad place arts,

339
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: you know, you know those life maybe car accidents not

340
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 3: the greatest example, but you when you like when you

341
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 3: have a traumatic event in your life.

342
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: You have like amnesia or something. You block it out.

343
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: It's a repressed memory. You remember the good and hide

344
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 3: the bad. Right, you remember the wonderful things of having

345
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 3: a child, and what an amazing thing, and you've created

346
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 3: something that will hopefully outlast you and continue on and

347
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 3: continue humanity. And you forget all the shitty diapers and uh,

348
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 3: you know, days the kids were you know, an asshole

349
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 3: or all that stuff. Right, you block it out, otherwise

350
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 3: humanity would not continue.

351
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 5: Right.

352
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't you know, mean to knock parents that

353
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 4: have more than one baby at home, but I can't

354
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 4: imagine having two babies at the house, or even two

355
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 4: youngsters at the home at the same time. The middle

356
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 4: one did get on the road bend. He did not

357
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 4: show up for that tattoo appointment. Oh yeah, really, we

358
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 4: were taking bets on that a couple of weekends ago.

359
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 4: I was there at the tattoo appointment by myself. As

360
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 4: I predicted, chickened out of that. But he did make

361
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 4: it to Oklahoma. His uncle and older brother went on

362
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 4: the road trip with him. It took them two days

363
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 4: of driving to make it to the beautiful state of Oklahoma,

364
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 4: and when they got there, they were so amused by

365
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 4: the prices of everything.

366
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 5: He's like, Mom, I got a Hamburger combo.

367
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 4: It was only eight dollars, and you know here we

368
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 4: pay sixteen dollars for the same thing. He was taking

369
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 4: prices of gas stations and comparing and contrasting everything to

370
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 4: what he knows growing up in southern California. So not

371
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 4: just the prices, but he loves the wide open spaces

372
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 4: there and loves the campus so far taking all these

373
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 4: sooner pictures, he got the tour of the stadium and

374
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 4: he is a happy college student right now.

375
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 5: No classes have started yet.

376
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 3: Well that's when the rubber meets the road right there.

377
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 3: That's that's why we find out. But yeah, I've been

378
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: to that campus. I've told the story before. But one

379
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 3: of my great gigs I had it was a one off.

380
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 3: I got hired to do sidelines for a network radio

381
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 3: broadcast of Oklahoma, Nebraska back when that was like a

382
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: big deal, so many years ago. But they flew me

383
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: into Oklahoma City, we drove over to Norman and it

384
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 3: was one of my fond memories. The pomp and circumstance,

385
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: big rivalry. You know, this was a long time ago.

386
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: Danny and we were younger. Oklahoma Nebraska was a one

387
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 3: of the big time matchups in college football, and I

388
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: just remember being around there and it was such a

389
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 3: different world. And I'd not been to anything like that

390
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 3: either at that time of my life, and it was

391
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: it was just awesome to see see everything.

392
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna go back there.

393
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 3: Right, You're gonna go down to Oklahoma for a game

394
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: or something like that and not the plan?

395
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, next month in September, they're going to do family day.

396
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: What part of September early late September.

397
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 4: What do we look at September fourteenth, Okay perdue at

398
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 4: Oklahoma that Saturday, and so all the kids families are

399
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 4: going to be in town getting the tour. That's when

400
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 4: I'll have my first experience in ok c slash Norman.

401
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: I remember seeing we got there a couple of days

402
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: before the game, and I remember seeing Lee Corso in

403
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: blue jeans and like a tank top walking around and Lee,

404
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 3: who's old now and kind of barely hanging on.

405
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 5: Did he have a mascot head on?

406
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: And no, But it was the funniest thing.

407
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: Lee was old men and like there were these you know,

408
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: college dudes and a few women that were kind of

409
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 3: like ogling Lee Corse. That was pretty funny. I still

410
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: I still remember that. What else, there was a couple

411
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 3: of things I wanted to get to on the Saturday

412
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 3: pod here. Oh, the Motor City Marathon. I did not

413
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 3: realize I was doing the Motor City Marathon. So on

414
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 3: the way back from Boston we made flew back on Sunday,

415
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 3: now Saturday. I spent the entire day. My brother came

416
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: up from New York with his wife and we just

417
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: hung out. We went to a couple different locations in

418
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 3: New England. There we actually ended up technically in three states.

419
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 3: Actually what no, I think we did? Yeah? Three?

420
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: Now three states are four states? I who knows.

421
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: We were started out where the Salem witch trials were

422
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: in Salem, walked around. My wife loves going to Stems,

423
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: so we had to Salem, had lunch. Then we drove

424
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 3: up to New Hampshire and hung out there, had a

425
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 3: fine time, did the did the kind of like an

426
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 3: ice cream thing. Then right across this bridge is Kidtery Kitterly, Maine.

427
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 3: So technically we're in Maine. But my people in Maine

428
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 3: tell me that's not really Maine, that's fake Maine. It's

429
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: not in Portsmith, New Hampshire. And then you cross a

430
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 3: bridge that's not real Maine, but we were. It said

431
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: welcome to Maine when we drove across the bridge. So

432
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 3: I consider myself in Maine. If I had died there,

433
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 3: it would have said I died in Maine. So I

434
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 3: was in Maine, just not real Maine.

435
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: So that was that was it.

436
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 3: We stayed out late, had a morning flight, had to

437
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 3: get to the airport at like we got up at

438
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 3: like three thirty in the morning.

439
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: It stuck.

440
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 3: Had to get to return the rental car, which I

441
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 3: didn't even get to that story. I have to tell

442
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 3: that at some point they all do it tomorrow. But

443
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 3: so we get to the rental car place, and we

444
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 3: hate Lax so much. We could have gotten NonStop flights

445
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 3: from Boston to Lax, no problem, no prob at all,

446
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 3: but we said we don't want to go to Lax.

447
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: So we ended up flying to a different airport in

448
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: southern California, but there were no non stops, so that

449
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: meant on the way to Boston we stopped in Atlanta,

450
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 3: which I don't mind. I love the Atlanta airport. What

451
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 3: a great airport. I'd live in Atlanta just because of

452
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 3: the airport. Like Tom Tommy in Atlanta, what a wonderful airport.

453
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 4: I saw a university banned or for him live. When

454
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 4: the super Bowl was at Atlanta, there was a band,

455
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 4: a marching band inside the airport welcoming people in for

456
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 4: the big game.

457
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: That's cool, that's neat.

458
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 3: They got a subway that takes you to the different

459
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 3: terminals and so so cool. But anyway, on the way back,

460
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 3: we had to stop in Detroit, and I hadn't been

461
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 3: to the Detroit airport and some time I have vague

462
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 3: memories of it. But we're very tired. I can't sleep.

463
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: I was kind of in zombie mode. Actually was supposed

464
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 3: to read something on the plane that was very important

465
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 3: that a you know, a project I'm working on with

466
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: with a friend, and I told them I would read it.

467
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 3: And I tried to read it.

468
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 5: A scientology pamphlet.

469
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: Yes, And I was just trying to read it, and

470
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 3: I just you know how when you're really tired and

471
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 3: kind of half awake, half asleep, you can't really focus.

472
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: So I had to email. I emailed the guys that

473
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: you know, I'm really sorry. I just want to I

474
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 3: want to give this the proper attention it deserves, and

475
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 3: I'm in zombie MoES. But we get to Detroit. It's

476
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 3: very short flight to Detroit from Boston, and we're at

477
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: at the airport that we flew Delta Delta Delta Delta.

478
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 3: So we get a gate ten and then we had

479
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 3: to change planes and go to the different plane to

480
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 3: get back to southern California.

481
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: So we look and it says your.

482
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 3: Next flight is at gate seventy seven, so we had

483
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 3: to go through sixty seven gates. Now, they do have

484
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 3: a tram at the Detroit airport, but it's not nearly

485
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: as efficient as the one in Atlanta. They have a

486
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 3: lot of walking, you know those things that go on there.

487
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 3: There will walk people, movers, so we did a lot

488
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 3: of those. But I had to go to the bathroom.

489
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 3: But my whole strategy was I've got to get close

490
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 3: to the next gate because if I go to the

491
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 3: bathroom here and then I have to I'd rather just

492
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: get to the gate and then go to the bathroom,

493
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 3: thinking it wouldn't take all that long, And it took forever,

494
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 3: and there were some really nice restaurants, but it was

495
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 3: early in the morning. This was probably by the time

496
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: we got to Detroit, I think it was like nine

497
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 3: o'clock in the but they have like a PF. Chanin's

498
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: in the airport, like a full PF. Chang's. They had

499
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 3: a Coney Island Dog, that famous Detroit hot dog. They

500
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 3: had a location there. I actually wanted to eat that

501
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: because I'd heard I'd never had one of those, and

502
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 3: I've heard that's like the Detroit hot Dog. I like

503
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 3: the extended winer. But I was like, it's in the morning,

504
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 3: I'm fasting, I can't eat it. I kept going, I'm

505
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: looking back, my wife's I'm losing my wife. She's behind me,

506
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: She's not keeping the pace, you know, And I'm like,

507
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: oh crap. And but I barely made it to the

508
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 3: bathroom before we had a unfortunate situation which would have

509
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 3: been really difficult, very difficult on the flight back. But

510
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 3: then the plane Danny on the flight from Detroit back

511
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 3: to southern California not properly insulated.

512
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: I determined, now, how did I determine that I.

513
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 3: Was freezing my ass off and my my wife also,

514
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 3: and so they actually had to give were we were

515
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 3: not sitting in first class. We were sitting in like

516
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 3: the middle of the plane. It was so cold because

517
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 3: we were near it like a door thing in an

518
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 3: exit row. Because they have extra leg room. They gave

519
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: us blankets to try to keep us warm.

520
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: It was that bad.

521
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 3: They had us blankets, and that didn't even really do much.

522
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever been that cold on a plane.

523
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 3: It was craziness, absolute craziness. But obviously we made it

524
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 3: back and survived. I was I was pretty much a

525
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: zombie on the Sunday and the Monday Show. I am

526
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 3: such a radio loser. Let's get to the idiom of

527
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 3: the week.

528
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 5: The id of the week, all.

529
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: Right, idiom of the week is bee line. You could

530
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: say I made a bee line for.

531
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 3: The bathroom Danny when I got off that plane and

532
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 3: then had to get on another plane. So the roots

533
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 3: of the word phrase or idiom b line is pretty simple.

534
00:27:53,600 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 3: Pretty simple began with beekeepers. Shocking it goes back. It

535
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 3: first appeared in print in the eighteen hundreds.

536
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: Eighteen twenties.

537
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 3: A research journal, American Quarterly Review, used bee line to

538
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 3: describe the movement made by bees when beekeepers observed their

539
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 3: flight patterns. However, it's not exactly that. Let me explain

540
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 3: bees do not actually fly in a straight line.

541
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 5: They don't.

542
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: They do not. In fact, they fly in a zigzag

543
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: pattern because wind, turbulence, whatever. They are not flying straight.

544
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 3: They make sharp turns, they have evasive flying patterns and whatnot,

545
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 3: and it's all resistance.

546
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: Bee line.

547
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 3: What it actually refers to is the lack of stops

548
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 3: or distractions. There's no rest stops for the bees when

549
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 3: they're flying back to the bee home, the b ness,

550
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 3: the beehive, after collecting nectar or the pollen, whatever you

551
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 3: want to say. And so, yeah, they might not fly

552
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 3: in a straight line, but they fly in a bee

553
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: line back to bring the pollen the nectar back to

554
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 3: the queen bee. And so the idiom of the week, yeah,

555
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 3: bee line, which goes back to the eighteen hundreds and

556
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: is about the perseverance, not the actual flight pattern, but

557
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 3: the perseverance the bees take to get back.

558
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: All right, That is it Saturday here, daddy, No radio

559
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: for you.

560
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 3: Right, nothing you have to worry about today. You're good

561
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 3: on that.

562
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, just a day of recovery after waking up at

563
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 4: four am and staying awake all day long all week.

564
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 5: You know, you already know all about the third shift.

565
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 4: But when you jump from some other schedule right into

566
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 4: that and then back into the regular schedule, it really

567
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 4: messes with your your sleep clock.

568
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent, hundred percent.

569
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 3: It's it took me a day a going from the

570
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 3: East coast and running around getting back. And like I said,

571
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 3: that's Sunday and the Monday show I was on FUMES.

572
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 4: I was just jet lag radio. But that's when you

573
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 4: do some of your best work because you over focus.

574
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta just keep persevering, right, And that other

575
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 3: thing is, even if you think you're a suck bag,

576
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 3: most people listening don't pay that close attention, so they

577
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 3: might not hear how bad you think you are, and

578
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 3: you're probably not and you're probably not as bad as

579
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 3: you think you are. Anyway, all Right, we'll get out

580
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 3: on that, have a wonderful rest Saturday. We'll have the

581
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 3: mail bag on Sunday, and we'll talk.

582
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 5: To you then later. Skater by Relations
