He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:12.879 the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.760 crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:19.840 pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of hot 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.560 takes break free for something special.

But we'll help you 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.680 kill a little bit of time right now with this 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.720 edition of the Fifth Hour, because four hours not enough. 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.600 A reminder if you have not yet listened to a 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.840 previous episode with Lenny Distra, I recommend that you do 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.080 that even before you listen to this of the podcast. 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.480 But if you've already heard that, you might want to 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.800 go back and play it again. It's amazing, fascinating, uh 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.600 and captivating the great Lenny Dikester. But as far as 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:14.000 this edition of the Fifth Hour, we will have an 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.959 extended grab bag lot of listener questions, and we will 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.440 we will have some fun with that. And here to annoy, 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:26.000 irritate and exasperate you is David Gascott. Yet again, Who's 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.080 with me side by side to frustrate the hell out 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.560 of my life? Do it? I can ben, especially nowadays, 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.280 since we are so far apart, now that you have 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.640 your happy confine set up for a an upper class, 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:43.200 first class radio studio inside of your hallowed halls to 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.880 the Mallard mansion. So well, I am practicing social distancing, 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.880 and with you, of course, I love practicing social distance, 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.880 the next thing, as far away from you as possible. 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.160 I seem like guesscan I said this jokingly, but I 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:59.120 really feel more like Rush Limbaugh or Steve Harvey or 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.640 Sean hann that I am now on their level. I 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:07.080 am doing the shows from my house. I'm wearing my pajamas, 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.440 just doing the show. So I feel like I've finally 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.959 arrived in the radio business. It only took me. I 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:13.840 don't want to say how long, twenty five years or 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.840 whatever is, but I finally arrived. Finally have I arrived 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.400 in the radio world. Hallelujah? That might be the case too, 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.360 because I earlier this week I connected you with someone 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.240 that has very close ties to Sean Hannity and Rush 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:31.320 Limbaughs so and Steve Harvey's. So I think that this 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.280 is all coming full circle in large part because of 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.600 me full credit for this. And uh, I know you're 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.519 a pessimist by by heart, and so I do everything 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.480 that I can to put you up on that golden, 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:47.760 golden pedestal and trying to push my buttons here. I 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.880 try to do that every so often. But how are 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:54.120 you coping though? Because exercise nutrition? Are you still on 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.519 a level playing field with weight wise in your sanity? 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.640 You know, I really missed the gym. I didn't realize 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.600 I had missed it. I always thought, well, now I 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.679 have the ultimate excuse not to go to the gym, 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.600 But it's it was such a big part of my routine, 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.600 and it's just not the same. I'm walking around aimlessly 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.200 around the streets of my neighborhood and different parts of it. 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:16.880 I live kind of near three different cities, and I 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.600 just kind of walked through all three cities and and 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.600 it's I feel like just uh and I just like 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.000 wandering aimlessly. I don't even know where I'm going, and 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.200 and just kind of walking out and trying to get 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.320 a certain number of steps every day, and all that 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.440 I missed that I'm still keeping the diet um so 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.000 I'm I'm eating every other day during the week and 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.000 skipping a day here and there, and so I feel 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.400 like I'm I'm pretty good at that. My goal I 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.280 said this a while back, but if you're new to 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.560 the podcast, my goal is to go three hundred and 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:51.600 sixty five days at least fasting with the minimum threshold. 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.720 On the weekends, I fast for usually seventeen or eighteen hours, 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.120 but during the week I'll skip a couple of days, 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.320 and you know, I try to go minimum twenty three 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.760 hours during the week between meals. So that's worked out. 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.080 And by the way, Gas, there was a message I 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:09.360 got the other day on Twitter from a guy who 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:16.880 started the Intermitute fasting and this dude's lost seven teen pounds. 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.320 Paul is the guy's name, and he actually tweeted out 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.320 his stats from an app that he's using, and he 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.400 thanked us, well mainly me probably, but he thanked us 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.760 for helping him lose weight. So congratulations to Paul, good job. 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.359 By you this year, he's already lost seventeen pounds and 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.240 here we are, we're in the third month of the 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.480 year in March. So that's a good job. Good numbers. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:40.840 Forty days streaked, that he's on the fasting and as 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.360 long as fast was thirty two hours, that's that's pretty phenomenal. 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.200 It's good job by Paul. Yeah, what are your numbers? 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.040 You wanna you want to do your numbers? It's not good. No, 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.040 you want to do your numbers. I admit, man, I 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:55.840 I haven't gone in the gym. I went running last 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.680 week on the board walk down in the beach, and 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.039 my legs are still sore. And I was doing some 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.440 I was doing some exercises earlier this week and I 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:08.279 think I strained my right groin. So like, I'm just 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.640 not doing well right now and not eating as good 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:14.440 as they normally do. The fasting does help, but I 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.040 need the gym more than ever right now. I couldn't 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.120 believe it. I went to a couple of sporting good 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.160 stores and it costs thirty dollars for one dumb bell. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.719 Thirty dollars for one fucking dumbell. You gotta go to Walmart. 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.600 They got the cheapest equipment, but even that's going to 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.919 set you back some money. I told you with the wife, 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.480 we were we were thinking about maybe even getting I 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.599 used to have a treadmill. I I was busting her 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.359 balls and I said, you know, we used had a treadmill. 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.000 We still have a treadmill. I wouldn't have to worry 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.280 about it work out at home. And so she's like, well, 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.560 which was by well, buy you know, buy some fugazy 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.800 thing you know, put in the house. I'm so and yeah, 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.960 maybe if this goes long enough, I guess at some 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.080 point there's the cut off where if you don't go 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:57.680 to the gym for a certain number of days, you 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.000 got to get something like I don't know what should 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.440 I get guests on, though like I would I would 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.279 think I was a big treadmill guy, but I like 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.640 the elliptical machines are pretty cool. That stuff breaks so much, though, 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.160 that's my concern. I think for you, and I don't 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:11.480 know if you'd want to do this, but I think 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.760 the perfect exercise equipment for you would be the TRX. 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.640 It was it was invented I believe by a Navy 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:22.320 seal in a submarine and it basically looks like two 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.679 giant ropes, but they're not ropes. But you can latch 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.360 it onto anything that you want, either high or low. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.760 You use it for for pulling and for pushing. Um. 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:34.880 You can always use it to plank. You can also 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.520 use it to squat or do lunges. It's a it's 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.480 an all purpose type of apparatus. UM. I would definitely 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.400 recommend looking to a t r X. You haven't. Those 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.680 can't be that expensive because they're just ropes. It's not 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:53.160 a rope, it's it's like a long cord. UM. I 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.720 don't know how. I'm looking it up. T r X 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:02.200 system at Walmart, two bucks. That's worth it. Yeah, I 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.520 definitely recommend it. Yeah, because you're, like I said, you 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.119 can do anything on it. Push ups, you can plank, 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.320 you can do pull ups, UM, you can do um 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.560 kind of back raises, shoulder raises, like the whole nine yards. 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.240 It's a it's an all purpose workout for you. Are 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.239 you doing push ups by the way and that stuff 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.520 like push ups and of course not, I'm not doing 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.680 any of that stuff now, we of course not. Why not, 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.760 I'm not. I'm walking al That's the greatest exercise. Is 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.920 a nice walk, so I'm doing it, but I have 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.320 to figure that out anyway, we got grabbed back. These 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:36.640 are actual questions in our new hybrid podcast where we 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.680 we give you a podcast is every day of the 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.560 week The Mother Show five days a week. One day 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.840 you get too podcasts including our Lenny Dikes Tree extravaganz 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.520 uh and now we have other podcasts for you on 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.400 the weekend as well. Grab back. These are actual questions 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:54.560 by actual listeners. The first one comes from Brian in Northbridge, Massachusetts. 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.360 He says, man, how can we keep David gascon and 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.640 quarantine and even further away from a microphone? Well, I 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.800 think that's a great idea. I just I mean, I 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.880 gotta have more nights with his girlfriend. That's all come down, 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:15.960 cowboy money rubbing off on you. Maybe you go buy 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:22.200 some Infeta mean exactly on line one. Yeah, alright, Fats 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.680 from Philadelphia Rights and I love this guy, Fats. This 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.960 guy's good dude. Man, he sent me a bunch of 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:31.440 pretzels down uh, he says Ben, growing up, who is 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.960 your favorite WWF wrestler And did you ever see them 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:39.079 wrestle live? Mine was King Kong Bundy. I saw him 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.240 when I was in fifth grade at a local event, 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.319 I got in trouble for tearing a woman sign up 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:48.920 for Mr Wonderful Paul. She put me in a headlock 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:53.640 and security game. That's right. Uh this this guy fats 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.640 as a character. Well facts. I loved wrestling probably around 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.720 I'm probably around your age. I was a big fan 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.400 of the Hulk, Hogan Andre, the Giant Battles, and I 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.520 did see um. I was also such a nerd. I 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.560 loved Mean Gene Oakerland, the the guy that did the 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.640 interviews and the promos for the w w F and 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.400 h I I've told the story I've got I got 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.320 fat eating w w F branded ice cream bars and 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.360 different food that they debuted back in the in the 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.240 nineteen eighties. But I went to the Anaheim Convention Center, 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.920 this Don't Be Arena and just down the road from Disneyland, 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:30.880 and they had an event there and I went with 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.480 my brother and my mom dropped us off and it 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.200 was a big deal, you know, leave the kids at 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.920 the wrestling event, and we hung out after waiting for 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.120 the wrestlers to walk out. And I remember seeing Mean 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:44.760 Gene wearing He wore a jumpsuit like an athletic jumpsuit 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.360 after he you know, he wasn't in his tuxedo and 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:51.120 uh saw like the back of Andre the Giant, and 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:55.640 I have great memories. Uh Hulk Hogan was at that thing, 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.599 so that was fun. And then later on this is 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.960 really cool, when I was doing a radio promotion and 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:08.200 I was a celebrity manager for a w WF event. 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.040 One of the coolest things I've ever been able to. 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.240 They picked us up in a limo and they took 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.200 his although it was at a minor league baseball stadium 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.560 in the in the Inland Empire, and it was awesome. 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.280 We we went out and it was the bet I 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.840 was doing the Ben and Dave Show and Dave Smith 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.560 was the manager of the other guys. I was the 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.840 manager of the Headshrinkers. But my favorite part was in 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.920 the locker room hanging out with the wrestlers before because 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:34.520 we were one of the last events. And I believe 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.280 he passed away a couple years ago. But George the 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:40.400 Animals steal the legendary George the Animal Steel, the guy 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.440 guest Scott, he's the guy that used to eat the side, 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.719 yeah the ring, and he was in there and we 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.840 were I was hanging in the same goddamn locker room 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.160 with the George the Animal Steel, a guy I grew 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.000 up watching wrestling. How cool is that? And uh and 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.560 also another guy that passed away, Viscera, I think that 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.240 was his name. Remember, he was the the huge black 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:05.480 guy that had like he wore UM. He had contact 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.480 lenses to make his eyes look correct. You know, he 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.920 was like eight I don't know, maybe not eight hundred pounds, 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.280 but he was at least six seven. He's huge. Um. 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:19.120 And the funny thing about that guy is he was 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.280 in the match before us and he broke the ring. 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.880 He jumped off the ropes and uh, he fell down 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.760 and he broke the ring and so everything got delaid 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.360 and then he came back in the locker room. I 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.480 can still close my eyes and see this. It's one 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.559 of the funniest things I've ever experienced. And it sucks. 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.240 The guy passed away a couple years ago, but he 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.360 came in there fully decked out, and he had the 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.679 he had the eyes with the contact lenses to make 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:50.400 him look like Lucifer, and he had the body paint 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.679 on and he's got his head down and the other 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.840 wrestlers are like busting his balls and he's like, oh, 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.839 I'm sorry, guys, I didn't mean to do it. It 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.400 was haw to google him because I didn't recognize that name. 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.200 But now I see that it was Big Daddy V. 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.840 Like he had his name Coup. Yeah, he had a 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.240 couple of different names, um, but at that time he 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:12.960 was known I think his Viscera or something like that, 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.120 Visra Mabel, Big Daddy V. He was the King of 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:20.120 the Ring tournament champ in really good dude that Those 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:21.600 are the two memories I have for that. But I 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.000 love wrestling me in those days, man, you know, because 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:25.680 we didn't have a lot of entertainment. You know, we 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.560 didn't have a lot going on, and it was like 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:32.079 big you know, the promos And remember begging my mom 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.400 to let me go to a wrestling event and he's, oh, 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.960 let's just watch it on TV. You do you remember 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:41.840 when Rick Martell, Rick the Model Martell sprayed his arrogance 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:44.480 perfume in the eyes of Jake the Snake and made 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:48.960 him blind. I do remember, yes, yes, yes, I always 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.480 loved when Jake the Snake Roberts would wrestle. I love 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.280 they would have it was the director of the events 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.800 were great because they they'd pain over and they'd have 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.960 the shot of the bag with the snake. Yeah, Damien, Yeah, Damien. 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.480 It was so funny because it was like, oh boy, 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.839 what's that snake is gonna get out of the bag? 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.080 You know it was it was pretty funny. Yeah, you 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.160 know what. And in those days, obviously the the neck 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:16.800 breaker was always Queen Elizabeth ms Elizabeth for Macho Man, 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.920 but those guys had great finishing moves. Macho Man off 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.600 the top row, Million Dollar Dream with ted d Bias, 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.400 Ultimate Warrior, obviously Hogan and his weak ask leg Drop, 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.920 but everyone else I did see once in Las Vegas, 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.480 I actually walked by the same exact day. I don't 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.280 know what the odds of this would be, but I 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:39.360 walked by Jaws and Andre the Giant. I don't know 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.360 if you remember Jaws, but he was in Golden and 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.600 not Golden he was in Moonraker and James Bond movies. 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.640 So he was in Moon Raker and one other James 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.920 Bond movie. But those guys were absolute beasts. And obviously 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.880 the Andre the Giant you know, passed away at his age, 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.240 but those guys. Did you see the documentary on Andre 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.880 that I did was awesome, And a lot of those 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.800 stories are complete bullshit. They just made him up about 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.679 Andre the Giant, and people believed it. People blot him. 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.199 They're like they I I couldn't believe that all that 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.000 stuff was bullshit. I thought that was real, that he 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.400 drank all those beers on a flight and all that stuff, 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.920 and all the different stories that were told, but great memories. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:23.040 Thank you Fats for that. Douglas from Vermont writes and 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.800 he says, guys, if you had to get a piercing, 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.200 where would it be? Where would you get it? And 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.280 you can't choose your ear? All right?

I think so I would go nose, 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.320 although it would look really odd. I'm not talking about 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.120 the middle part. I'm talking about the top part. You know. 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.720 It's like women sometimes get their nose pierced on the side, 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.000 like that kind of thing. Guy would do that because 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:00.800 I think that would be like, I don't think would 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.480 hurt very much. What about you guess when you go 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.440 for the below the belt piercing help you out a 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.440 little bit down there?

Oh no, 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.200 that looked painful. I don't know a lot of those. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.720 Look just see I have a butcher. What about it 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.360 if I got my butt chin Pierst, like got the 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:39.480 clef your butt?

Yeah, 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:03.320 I did not know that. Unfortunately, we're in a we're 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.080 in a new unique spot too, because you know, we 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:11.000 obviously commute to and from word to our houses and uh, 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.840 you know, for the radio side of things. You you 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.440 were on the radio during the nine eleven attacks, Yes, 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.080 I was. I was on September eleven. I did show, 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.359 did updates that day? Did the company do anything for 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:26.000 you at the time, like change scheduling or not permit 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:29.200 you to go anywhere else? You gotta stay locked indoors 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.080 and on the radio for eight nine hours or what? 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:37.200 Um no? I had. I was doing a shift in 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.639 the early afternoon. I think it was like a noon 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.919 to five or something like that. It was. It was 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.800 all wonky back then, and it was we had the 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.880 studios at the Fox lot in West l A there, 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:54.560 and I I remember, I just did, as I recall, 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:59.320 I did the show, the updates, and then my mom 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.760 was freaking out because my brother lives in New York 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:06.480 and at the time my sister in law was pregnant 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:10.159 and that whole thing. And then, um, so I remember that. 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.439 And I remember driving by L A X and not 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.520 a single flight. Uh, drove on the four oh five 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:17.320 by L A X and there was not a single 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.159 plane in the sky that just blew me away. But 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.040 I don't remember them forcing me to stay there. I 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.920 don't think that happened. Yeah, why are you being forced 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.360 to stay? No, no, not at all. It just uh 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.399 people you see people tweeting out on social media that 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.720 they're getting pulled over by cops and issued citations for 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.320 being out. And yeah, we're part of the unique branch 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:43.399 where we've been issued um company and and federal permission slips, 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:45.879 if you will, about being able to commute to and 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:49.920 from work for obviously business purposes. So yeah, in fact, 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.760 I have the I have the letter right here. It's 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:55.920 on my desk here from Uh it's a kind of 0:18:56.040 --> 0:19:00.840 form letter from the Department of Homeland Security. Yes, and uh, 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.720 this goes all the way through the end of May. 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.840 And it's apparently I had no idea. It's the Communications 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.959 Act of nineteen thirty four. But that is why we 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.440 are allowed to continue. And I love the fact that 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:17.640 sports radio is a critical situation. So we could flip 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.240 to news if we needed to. Yeah, I mean we could. 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.600 And that's what we did in September eleven that we 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.240 became a news outfit. We talked about the news. It 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:26.919 was what else are you gonna talk about? Everyone can 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.600 talk about what's going on.
