So that's a 17 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: lot of stuff. Yeah, it's a full board. Yeah. So 18 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: we'll start with this life of life of myself, Ben Mallory, 19 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: Life of Danny G Radio. And so this past week 20 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: back to the full grind. I had family in previously, 21 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: so I had to take a couple of days off 22 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: because of family, and uh, my family left and went 23 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: back headed back. He's my my brother, my older brothers 24 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: actually was in Mexico City this week of all places. 25 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: Um daily grind. I do the show, nothing spectacularly, nothing 26 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: out of the ordinary. My routine is pretty simple. I 27 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: do the show, I prep all day, do the show 28 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: at night, go to the gym, and come home and 29 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: go to bed. Usually do dishes after the gym and 30 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: go to bed, and so good afternoon, good evening, good night. 31 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: So I was doing my thing. But on Monday, I 32 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: got to the gym after the show, made the long 33 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: trek from the Sherman Oaks compound of Fox Sports readily 34 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: I heart Premier Networks building. Made the trip down far 35 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: far away, and I'm on the treadmill, and you know, 36 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: hop on the treadmill. I can normally do nothing out 37 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: of the ordinary, uh standard workout. Pop my headphones in. 38 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: Usually I'm on treadmill. What do I watch? I watch 39 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: something on YouTube, or I'll listen to music. Anything I 40 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: can to divert my attention away from the monotony of 41 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: the workout. Maybe I'll put a podcast on. But distraction 42 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: is the key. So I am, I'm just on the 43 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: treadmill whatever, I'm doing my thing, and I clip on 44 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: some video on the on the YouTube, I think I 45 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 1: was watching an old baseball game. They got a bunch 46 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: of those, some like the eighties and the nineties, like 47 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: random baseball games and uh pop that on there kind 48 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: of fall into zombie mode. It's muscle memory that takes over, 49 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: you know, treadmill and so, uh, I decided that my 50 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: headphone on my my right ear. I decided it was 51 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: not quite working right, so I needed I needed to 52 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: adjust it. So I twisted the headphone a little bit 53 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: and uh, and all of a sudden it sounded like 54 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: it was like really not working. I was like, well, 55 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 1: what's going on? And so I I kind of squished 56 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: it in my ear a little further and um yeah 57 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah. So so then I I like it 58 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: still wasn't working. I was like, what the you know, 59 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: what the hell? I I mean these I use these 60 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,119 Speaker 1: headphones every day. So then I take the thing out 61 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh crap, um and was missing. Yeah 62 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: what have you done? You moron? And uh, I have 63 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: very thick fingers apparently, and and I ended up twisting 64 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: twisting that thing all the way into my ear. Drum 65 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: drum um, drum um. The audio obviously was not working. 66 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: And uh yeah, so is that a flea in your ear? 67 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: Are you just glad to see me? Now? I want 68 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: you to know, Danny. I had two options. I could 69 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: have immediately left and gone and tried to get taken 70 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: care of. But I said, you know what, I still 71 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: have one headphone that's working, and it didn't really hurt 72 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: me that much. So I finished my workout. I finished 73 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: my workout, and then I actually what I did was 74 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: I I contacted my wife, who was home. She was 75 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: off from work that night. I said, hey, probably gonna 76 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: need your help. Um, I've got a situation here. You 77 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: have any chopsticks available? Yeah? Yeah, I said, you might 78 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: want to go get the Tweezers. You know, you might 79 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: want to get the Tweezers. There, I got something stuck 80 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: in my ear. She's like kind of freaking out a 81 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: little bit. She's what are you talking about? I said, oh, yeah, 82 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: I probably need some new headphones also, I probably need 83 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: will and uh so she was like half asleep, but 84 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: I told her, I said, gonna finish the workout. So 85 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: I got home and then you know, she was sleeping, 86 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: and so I woke her up. And this is not 87 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: a good idea, Danny, to have somebody who's half awake, 88 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: half asleep try to dig something out of your ear drum. Yeah, 89 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: half awake surgeon, Yeah, yeah, this is not good. So 90 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: she's I give her the tweezers. She's like pulling at 91 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: my ear, but she doesn't see anything. I think, apparently 92 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: I've got a lot of I guess I got a 93 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: lot of hair in my ears, so I don't know 94 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: she's she's pulling it that She's like, think, I pulled 95 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: your hair, which I guess I'm I'm old because I 96 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: got hair in my ear. And then I think it's 97 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: from the headphones anyway. So she's struggling and all that, 98 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: and she's kind of freaking me out. She's like, well, 99 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: you might have to go to the hospital and get this. 100 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't see it. I don't see anything. 101 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: And then at that point, I'm like, come on, I mean, 102 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: it can't be that hard. You know it's got me. 103 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: I didn't. I don't think it's in my brain. It's 104 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: just a little piece of rubber um and so we 105 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: turned the light on. She turned the light on her phone, 106 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: and she was funagling with this. It seemed like it 107 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: was like an hour. It was probably only a couple 108 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: of minutes. And she did successfully extract the little piece 109 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: of rubber from the tip of the headphones from my 110 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: ear canal. So just another another klutz move, Danny, I 111 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: can add to my bed post. I can add this 112 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: to breaking the microphone like the Incredible Hulk taking down 113 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: the entire light from the Fox Sports radio studios. The 114 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: hits just keep coming, man, the hits keep coming. Disaster 115 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: the past few years, I know, right, I just merely 116 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: can't even put headphones in. I'm such a wreck. I 117 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 1: can't even do that without having a situation. So it's 118 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: I'm surprised that doesn't happen more because it's very easy 119 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: for I assume you have those kind of headphones. I mean, 120 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: it's pretty easy to have them fall out. Yeah. I 121 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: finally broke down and ordered some really nice ones that 122 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: were like that last year, and they have all the 123 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: different sizes of those rubber tips that you could keep 124 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: trying until you find the perfect fit for your ear. 125 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: And no matter which tip I put on, those stupid things. 126 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: They don't stay in and they don't feel comfortable. So 127 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: after spending two bucks on a nice pair of those, 128 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: I really don't use them that much because I'll be 129 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: walking in my house with them on and it'll pop 130 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: off and fall on the floor, and I'm like, I'm 131 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: not gonna go outside and have it fall on the 132 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: ground like that. So they're in my closet right now, 133 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: like stowed away. Yeah, yeah, it is a thing that 134 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: pops up in And you can get those, as you 135 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: said that some of them are really expensive, or you 136 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: can go to like we have a store here which 137 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: I think is a National store five below, which is 138 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: actually sell stuff that's not five below. But I think 139 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: you can get a knockoff version of those kind of 140 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: headphones at a store like that, which are probably the 141 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: same thing. I mean, how much how much worse could 142 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: they be? How much better could they be? And I 143 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: had a twenty pair from Amazon and they were cheaper 144 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: and didn't sound good, but they fit really well, and 145 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: I was like, damn it, why can't they have that 146 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: good technology and these ones that actually fit. It's just 147 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: that that's one of the things where it doesn't match up. 148 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: It is a wild thing though. I I know we've 149 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: talked about this in previous episodes of the show, but 150 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: the fact that human beings are wired where if you 151 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: think you're getting more if you pay more, like that's 152 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 1: always like like I'm like, no, I can. I can 153 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: get good stuff at you know, a dollar store or 154 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: something like that. I don't need to But but electronics, though, 155 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: some of it is true because if you hear like 156 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: just a thin sound of music compared to really full music, 157 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: I guess that that bothers an audio file more than 158 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: it does just the average person who maybe doesn't care 159 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: about hearing clean highs mids base Like I guess if 160 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: you're not bothered by bad sounding music, then it wouldn't 161 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: affect you as much if you're only spending twenty dollars 162 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: compared to a couple of hundred bucks. Yeah, but I'm 163 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: pretty sure I've read over the years like they've done studies, 164 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: maybe not on headphones, but on other stuff where if 165 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: you take an item and you let's say you price 166 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: it for and you take the same item in another 167 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: part of the country, and you charge you know, a 168 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: hundred dollars for it, the people that pay the hundred 169 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: dollars will think that that is a better product than 170 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: the people that paid the twenties the same product. But 171 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: they've convinced themselves because they spent more money that they're 172 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: getting more bang for their buck and all that. And well, 173 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: I would agree when it comes to fashion and clothes 174 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, because is it really better just 175 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: because it has a certain logo on it. It could 176 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: be made even shittier than something that's cheaper. But you're right, 177 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: people just think it's better because it costs a hundred 178 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: dollars more because of that branding, with that little logo 179 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: that they want. Yeah, and that's a lot of how 180 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: like the art world operates, right that you know, there's 181 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: a finite amount of it, and you know this stuff 182 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: that I think of five year old could do, but 183 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: it just happens they put a big price on it. 184 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: And then there's some rich guy in Miami at Art 185 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: Basil who's like, all right, you know, what the hell? 186 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: Why not you are like van Go, you were about 187 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: to have your air chopped off? Yeah, I was thinking 188 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: about that. If I needed some kind of medical procedure, 189 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: I might have had to take a day off, a 190 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: medical day off, like that's all I have is my 191 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: mouth and my my hearing, and that's it tastes like 192 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: a touchdown in your mouth. I mean, she's she's Louise 193 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: on that anyway. So like Patrick mahomes Ben, you're better 194 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: than half the host out there with just one ear. 195 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: There you go. That's like an old rush Limbaugh line. 196 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: I got one ear tied behind my back. Mega dittos Uh. 197 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: And I know that I'm not Noah's wife. I know 198 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: that I know that is the case. Nanny g. I'm 199 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: not that well. A few weeks ago, you asked me 200 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: if my wife he had prego cravings yet, if there 201 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: were any certain kinds of foods that she was craving. 202 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: And I was telling you at the time about in 203 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: and out and how suddenly she's craving some red meat, 204 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: probably because she needs the iron. She's always kind of 205 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: stuck up her nose when me and the kids are 206 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: eating burgers, like it gross, like smell burgers away from me. 207 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: She's one of those people. She hates hamburgers. So it 208 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: was very, very strange to watch her enjoying in and 209 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: out and then afterwards saying, oh my god, that's the 210 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: best meal I've I've had in weeks. I want that 211 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: again tomorrow. I'm like, who is this person? Yeah, the 212 00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: answer is she's a pregnant lady sexist. She is snacking 213 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: every three hours. She's craving the strangest foods. Um. I've 214 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: never seen her eat cream, cheese and a bagel in 215 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: my life. And that's all she's been talking about now 216 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: for a week. Bagels. Huh, and she keeps talking about 217 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: French toast, what kind of bagels she like? Shot egg, bagel, everything, bagel, Garland, everything, solid, Bael, 218 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: good bagel, choice, good bagel. So a couple of mornings ago, 219 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: I get woken up at four in the morning. She 220 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: tells me, do you think anything is open? I had 221 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: to go open up the campus in a couple of hours, 222 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: so I'm an early riser as well. But I went 223 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: to my phone and the ie hoop here in our 224 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: area they didn't open until seven am. There is no 225 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: Denny's around us, although she would have turned her nose 226 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: up to Denny's. So you're not driving to like cancers 227 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: in l A. You're not making that trip. That's a 228 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,599 Speaker 1: long yeah, exactly. I looked at all the different breakfast 229 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: restaurants around us, and none of them opened early early, 230 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: and I was like, man, what how come none of 231 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: these breakfast places open for those of us that got 232 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: to go to work so that we could go eat 233 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: there and then go to work. Um. So I told her. 234 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: I was like, well, here's the thing. We can't get 235 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: your French toast. And when I told her nothing was open, 236 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: she brought the bagel back up. I find Noah's Bagels, 237 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: which is a great spot. I don't know if you've 238 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: ever had their Their bagels, Yeah, they are good. They're nash. 239 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: Their claim to fame is they only use a few 240 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: ingredients and so it's clean food. So I take her 241 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: on this drive. She's happy. She's dancing to the music 242 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: in the car, even though it's early in the morning. 243 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: So I have this this growing whale next to me 244 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: and we are swimming up stream on the one oh 245 00:13:54,640 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: one freeway to feed her some fish, are I And 246 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: she's dancing to the music in the passenger seat.

No but that's actually good 250 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: because they're making them right right, right, they get there 251 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: when they're fresh. There's nothing better than a fresh bagel 252 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: or donut. Man, we're waiting, we're waiting. I could tell 253 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: she's fading because the other thing pregnant ladies need our naps, 254 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: and she's not a napper either, So that's another weird 255 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: thing about all this.

And I gotta tell you, Danny, 322 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: who better to turn to for information on an earthquake 323 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: than a sports talk radio show. I can't think it's 324 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: either KFI, the big news station in l A or 325 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: or the overnight sports guy. And the early reports that 326 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: was like a four point two, which is not the biggest, 327 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: but it was in Malibu and that was unexpected. So 328 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: after the show and I didn't feel it, I'm kind 329 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: of hanging out. Wife gets home from work. I'm doing 330 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 1: whatever I'm doing. She's like, I'm gonna go take a shower. 331 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, good knock yourself out. And she sends 332 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: me a message. She's like, hey, you gotta get over here. 333 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, what the what happened? She said, 334 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: something's going on. And it turns out that one of 335 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: the mirrors in the Mallard mansion, in the in the bathroom, 336 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: like half of it. We have the like round mirrors, 337 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: and half of it had come out of the wall 338 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: from the earthquake. Oh wow. And I'm like, well, this 339 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: is fucking impossible. I didn't even feel it, and I 340 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: was awake, and how could this have happened. There's no 341 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: other way that that could have happened. Like, that's not 342 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: like you live right next door to Malibu. No, I'm 343 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: far away from Malibu. Like that's that's why I figured 344 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: I didn't feel it because I'm far enough away and 345 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: I could not believe it. I was like, wow, So 346 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: now we have the mirror, a mirror not on the wall, 347 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: hanging on Holy Canal, and it's crazy. So we have 348 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: to get that fixed. And I didn't see any other 349 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: damage around the house. I didn't think there would be 350 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,239 Speaker 1: any damage. I was like, there's no, this is not 351 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: a major event. I just didn't even bother checking because 352 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: I figured, why would there be any damage? It makes 353 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: no sense. I feel like your wife broke it the 354 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: same way you broke the light in the studio and 355 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: the microphone and the microphone stand, and she just blamed 356 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: it conveniently on the earthquake and she just grabbed it 357 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: and like pulled it. There you go. Uh, let's get 358 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: the pop goes the culture and that means our man 359 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: ohio aloo, all right, these are actual pop culture stories, Danny, 360 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: that we may or may not have missed on the 361 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: My Show, the Ben Maller Show, and the Cavino and 362 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: Rich Show, which you're a part of.

We have 426 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: a few more on popcast the culture. Uh let's her 427 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: appliance makers. Appliance makers are upset that fifty percent of 428 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: customers do not connect smart appliances. They're annoyed by this 429 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: whirlpool and l g are they're they're not happy. The 430 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: two big appliance makers. They've added WiFi technology to the dishwashers, 431 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: the ovens, the refrigerators, and they have built in apps 432 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: and they claim that less than fifty percent of people 433 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: actually connect the items. And I say, bravo, I don't 434 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: need WiFi in my dishwasher. I don't need in my oven, 435 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: I don't need it in my refrigerator. Uh. And the 436 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: reason they're upset, I'm I'm speaking. I don't know this 437 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: for effect. I'm just guestimating. I think this is probably right, though. 438 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: See if you agree with me, Danny. The reason they're 439 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: upset is because they were planning on selling that data 440 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: and of what when people are using their their you know, dishwasher, 441 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: and they're what, they're how many times they open their uh, 442 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: the refrigerator and all that crap, and they can use 443 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: that somehow and make money on it. And now they 444 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 1: can't do it because people aren't using it and they're 445 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: not using the apps thousand percent correct. They want to 446 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: be able to track us. They want to be in 447 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: your phone as one of your apps. Like the dishwasher 448 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: thing doesn't make sense because what are you gonna put 449 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:51,959 Speaker 1: a bunch of dirty dishes in there and say, well, 450 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: I'll wash them later. I'll set the WiFi to turn 451 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: the dishwasher on. Says that my dishes are tht dirtier 452 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: than they were last week. I gotta do something about that. 453 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: The needs an act for that stupid ship. Exactly, exactly. Well, 454 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: here's a fun story. I don't know if you guys 455 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: on Coveno and Rich talked about this. I probably should 456 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: have brought this up on the radio program. Uh So, 457 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: the state of Oregon has put a bill out to 458 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: ban the sale of kangaroo body parts in the state 459 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: of Oregon. Now, why would they do that? Danny? That 460 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: is kind of het? Tell us. It turns out who 461 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: knew that high end soccer cleats from Nike use kangaroo 462 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: body parts? They used kangaroo leather. Does it make you 463 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: run faster? I got fired. I got no idea. I 464 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: didn't even know this was a thing. I think definitely 465 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: they could use that as a cell point. You'll jump 466 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: higher in these because their part kangaroo. I who decided 467 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: that that kangaroo leather was the way to go? Like, 468 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: who decided that's the case? And so they have to 469 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: there's no kangaroos in Oregon, so they have to at 470 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: least not native, So they have to get the kangaroos, 471 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: have to buy them from Australia and then they they're killed. 472 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: Are their kangaroo breeders just for Nike? They say that 473 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: high end soccer cleats and it's only worn by a 474 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: small subset of elite soccer players. Weird. I mean, there 475 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: are some mean animals, right, but you still don't want 476 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: to kill them just for shoes. We'll have to get 477 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: one of our Australian guys to help us out on 478 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: that semis viral video where that kangaroo is boxing that guy. 479 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's hilarious. Well, my favorite kangaroo 480 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: fun fact we learned from this podcast is that, unlike 481 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: a rabbit that runs away from or kind of freezes 482 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: when they see a light, you know, dear rabbit in 483 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: the headlights, it turns out that the kangaroo will run 484 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: at the light and that that blew me away, Like 485 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: I can't believe that, what is going on with that? 486 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: But it's like a mosquito. That's pretty wild, right, Like 487 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: what's going on? But that's apparently the case at least 488 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: the corner to our Australian experts that we trust because 489 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: they claimed that to be true, and so why not. 490 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: All right, now, if you go to Japan, good news here. 491 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: One of the big whaling firms in Japan is struggling 492 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: to sell well meat. Apparently, uh, they've decided. I don't 493 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: know why. I thought people in Japan love whale meat. 494 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: But the firm is turning to vending machines to revive sales. 495 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: So there are now vending machines. You can go and 496 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: get some nice whale meat in that exciting, It's just 497 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: that's nasty. Below the photo of the meals is like 498 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: these little whale drawings, like the cartoon whales. It's kind 499 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: of like going to a chicken shack and you you 500 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: see the the chicken and you know the whale taste, Like, 501 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: can we google that? What is whale taste? Like, yeah, 502 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sure. Uh. This is a great 503 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: story out of Philadelphia, Philadelphia. This is pop goes the 504 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: culture Philadelphia is so desperate. How desperate are They're so desperate, 505 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: Danny to get lifeguards that they are now check this out. 506 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: They are recruiting people who cannot swim. What could possibly 507 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: go wrong? What could possibly go And they claim that 508 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: these people that don't know how to swim, they'll teach 509 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: them how to swim. They have to take a lifeguard course, 510 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: but they said that they struggle. They have all these 511 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: public pools in Philadelphia and they couldn't open a lot 512 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: of them last year because there was a lifeguard shortage 513 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: because they're not paying the lifeguards much of anything. And 514 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: so yet again there appears to be even though we're 515 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: only in January, late January, but it appears that they're 516 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: looking ahead and there will be a shortage again for 517 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: for lifeguards. Here's the story out of New Jersey. A 518 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: twenty nine year old woman posed as a high school 519 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: student and got away with it for four days. Danny, 520 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: she said she was actually fifteen years old, and then 521 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: she finally got caught. They realized that, wait a minute, 522 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: that's almost a thirty year old woman there, and uh, 523 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: and yeah, it's crazy.

Would like to do a certain things 544 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: in high school over I've heard people's say, oh, man, 545 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: if I knew then what I know now, I would 546 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: slay it in high school.
