Pierre says he fits right 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:30.800 in and has unquestionably erased the sour aftertast that the 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.200 listeners had from the previous trust.

Next up is Radioactive Ryan. 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.000 There's a rule. If I don't hit one of these 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.280 dumb soundbites, people get up said, what did you do that? 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.080 I didn't go to sun bite? Alright, come back, it's 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.920 sign from now call that is right, and so radio Active, 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:44.960 Ryan says, Hey, Benn and Danny, I love the podcast. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:49.160 You guys are a dynamic duel reminiscent of Shack and Kobe. 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.800 Anybody on the Clippers is a half of what Kobe 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:57.840 Bryant is. Sorry, Ben, I'd say you were like Kauai Leonard, 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.320 or she says Kawanie Leonard and Paul George. But then 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.640 you'd be injured or sick all the time. Ben, you 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:08.240 mentioned you had a story about causing a car accident 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.800 at a radio remote broadcast. Hopefully it's similar to the 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.960 one that Halle Berry caused when she wore a dress 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.680 and the wind blew it up overhead and she was 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:25.279 going Washington Commando. It's five star shout out from Radioactive Ryan. 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:30.080 So I know you're taking a shot at uh Kauai 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:31.880 and Paul George, but I mean I could take a 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:36.360 similar shot at the Shack Kobe reference. There's something going 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:37.880 on there that we could bring up. But I'm not 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.520 gonna do that. I'm gonna be classy. Um. As far 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.000 as the story involving the radio remote, I will give 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.520 you a brief version of the story. So this is 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.279 actually kind of amusing. I've told it a little bit. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.080 I think from time to time it comes up. So 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:53.760 this is how I understand the story at this time. 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.240 How I remember the story. So years and years ago, 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.200 I was doing local radio in l A. And I 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.200 did a lot of remotes for several years. I went 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:08.480 to every dive bar UH. Saturday morning. We had a 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.960 contract with Jiffy Lube, so we'd go to different Jiffy 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.480 Lubes around southern California at the crack of dawn because 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.360 they figured guys would go out and get their car 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.440 service to Jiffy Lube on Saturday, so we had to 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.120 do commercials for them, so we did commercials for them. 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.599 We did it to tire stores. We went to tire stores, 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.400 went to UH like lows and home depot places like that. 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.800 It was insane, Like every weekend we do. We did Friday, 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.640 we had Monday, Friday and Saturday remotes. Three remotes a week. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.520 Monday night football we did a remote at a restaurant. 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.279 Friday we did a remote at a restaurant, and then 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.880 Saturday morning we did a show from like a tire 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.919 store something that. But but anyway, we had a deal 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:55.560 with a day spa in the San Fernando Valley, not 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.320 far away from where the Fox Sports radio studios are 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:02.120 right now. And the place had a name. It's out 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.040 of business now, so I guess we can we can 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.640 say it. It had a name that would become toxic 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.839 in American culture for many, many years the name of 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:18.800 the day spall was called Isis Me? Oh yeah, now 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.560 mind you. This was before isis became a thing, but 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:23.839 it was called Iis Me and it was a day spot. 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.240 And I went out there and I was doing some 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.200 some stickila trying to get people to come down. So 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.520 we had set up a broadcast table kind of in 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.640 the back near the parking lot, and we were doing 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:39.920 some broadcasting stuff and nobody showed up, right and nobody 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.400 showed up. So I was really uncomfortable because you know, 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.320 I was like that they paid a lot of money 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.360 for me to be there. And so what we did 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.279 is me and the sales guy. Uh. We we went 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.719 out to the front of the establishment on Ventura Boulevard, 0:06:56.080 --> 0:07:00.320 legendary Ventura Boulevard on the corner of vent Her I 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.400 forget what the cross street was, but we it was 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.080 a big, you know, intersection, and so we set up 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:09.800 the table with the megaphone on on the side. And 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.360 so then I started doing like improv. I started doing like, 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.320 you know, stand up comedy. As the cars were going by, 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.240 I was doing stick talking to the people in the 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.040 cars when they stopped the red lights, and I was 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.200 getting some laughs and people were kind of into it, 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:23.800 you know, and a few people started to kind of 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:25.760 come over and see what we're all about. They were staring. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:27.560 It's kind of like, as you know, when you do 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.680 a remote Danny, It's like you're at the zoo and 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.840 you're in the cage and everyone's looking at you, and 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.119 some people are picking their nose. A lot of people 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.400 are not in those days looking at their phone as much, 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.240 but they, you know, because the phone technology was different. Anyway, 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.200 some people come up and have a conversation with you 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.760 while you're alive on the air, talking yes, yes, that's all. 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.960 That guy is always my favorite. They don't realize that anyway. 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.960 So I'm doing my stick and you know, people are 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.400 starting to respond to it, and we had a we 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.080 had a decent turnout. And then I kept doing it 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.920 and this guy I've already stopped at a red light 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:04.840 and he was looking at me. It turned his head 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.080 to me, and I was doing some you know, like 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.120 crappy stand up. I'm not even a comedian. I was 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.240 in some stand and the guy was so distracted by 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:17.360 what I was saying. He leaned into the intersection. He 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.680 got it on. He got it on an accident oh yeah, 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:27.240 right in front of the place, some being uh and 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.800 Bob Scott, the sales guy. We immediately we pulled up 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.600 the card table, we took the megaphone away, and we 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.440 got the funk out of there. We took off, man. 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:42.280 We dattled out of that place. Man. But that was 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.319 my that was my tale from the massage parlor back 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.600 in the day. So now the the guy hopefully didn't 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.480 know who you were, right, because he could have told 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:56.360 the police, like, got a murder? How distracted me? Oh 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.839 wait a minute, I was How am I responsible? Though 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.280 I don't know. They never contacted me. So I think 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.559 the statue of limitations on that run. So I think 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.000 we're good now. I don't think I have to where 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:07.640 I can come out of hiding. Now I can. I 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.240 can go out and about and all that stuff. I 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:14.760 got mail, yea, I got mail, yea. All right.

I don't 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.680 even played a couple of games. But he's from rump Jasper. Wow, 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:59.640 oh my, oh my god. We're full of fun facts 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.600 on Who knew that our friend Neo would inspire hot 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.040 talk about Jasper Indiana. Thanks to you, I don't want 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:15.760 to go to Indiana anymore. Neil says, what are your 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:20.840 five favorite fast food burgers at this moment? So I 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:22.640 don't eat too much fast food. I don't need a 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.800 lot anyway. I'll go first, Danny, but I've got in 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.640 and out. Although the burger could be bigger, delicious, burger, 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:33.800 but could be bigger. Five guys. I like five guys, 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.040 enjoy five guys. I need them to bring the peanuts back. 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.760 I'm not some kind of nut liquor here. Last time 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.079 I with the five guys didn't have the peanuts. I 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.880 didn't like that, the free complimentary peanuts. Uh. And then 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.080 the other ones I would put on that list, like 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:52.640 Tommy's triple double chili cheese burger I used to get 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.320 back and I think it was a triple I love 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.520 that with the chili fries on the side. That's a 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.360 that's a cheese chili cheese burger place in l A. 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:02.760 Have you ever been a steak in Shake? They used 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.280 to be one in Burbank. I don't think it's open anymore. 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:06.920 That somebody told me it close, I don't know if 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.200 that's true or that they have a really good day. 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.080 This is the garlic double steak burger thing. That's really good. Yeah, 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.640 that was really good. Yeah. I don't think they're around, 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.760 uh in that location anymore. But I've only got four 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.000 I don't have and I could throw Carl's Jr. In 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:22.680 there or something like that. But what are your five? 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:27.560 Danny go to fast food burgers anything from Arby's on there. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:33.200 Uh no, no, I'll go in reverse order. Number five, alright, 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:37.720 Number five, number five, Jack in the box. In the box, 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:42.360 they have a buttery melt burger. They infuse butter into 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:46.320 the burger. Wow, it's a little messy, but it is wonderful. 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.800 How do they infuse butter into the burger? But they 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.600 just put a slab of butter on top of the 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.160 burger weather cooking. They cut a hole into the burger 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:57.440 and then fill it with melted butter. Sounds good. Butter 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.240 and meat together. Signed me up for that. Super healthy 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:07.120 Number four. Number four Another very healthy selection from Carl's Jr. 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:12.600 The famous Western bacon. Yes, the Western bacon cheeseburger, a 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.600 staple of Carl's Junior slash Hearties. Depending on where you're 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:20.560 at right, some of you haven't either. Number three, number 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:24.560 three a double double at in and out. Yeah, double 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:29.200 double in and out, in and out. That's what a 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:34.520 hamburger is all about. And if you try to avoid hamburgers, 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:36.680 like my tender rowning, you could get a lettuce rap 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.600 version of the double double. She doesn't like the bread 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.360 and tried to stay away from the bread. You can 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.560 go up to the four by four. I think they 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.640 won't go any higher than that anymore. Used to be 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.480 able to get like an eight by eight, but I 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.080 think they cut it off at four by four. Yeah, 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.280 and get the fries animal style. That's a veteran in 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:58.840 and out move. Veteran move number two, number ber two. 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:04.400 Definitely five guys. So the softness of the bread, the 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:08.560 juiciness of the burger, the pickles, the combination of all 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.600 that together. It is like you are at one of 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.600 the best barbecue weekends of your life and your friends 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.560 just grilled up a masterpiece. Yeah, I agree with you. 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.160 And I wanted to hate five guys because it's the 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.800 East Coast in and out, and I wanted to hate it. 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.680 And then I said I can't hate it. I had it, 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.240 and I like this is good. I mean, I'm sold. 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.160 I like it. Screw COVID. They gotta bring the peanuts back. 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:39.000 Number one. Number one. Get a small child size even 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:43.840 frosty chocolate. Dip your French fries in it. Great appetizer 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:48.400 leading up to a Wendy's bacon eater. Wow, Wendy's Who 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:52.200 saw that that isn't a huge upset? Danny nobody had 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:58.920 Wendy's at number one. Oh yes, nobody. The box you're 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:04.160 painting outside the lines. I'm gonna say this my very 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:07.640 first part time job in radio, I got my very 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:12.080 first paycheck. I went to Wendy's like a baller, little 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:16.399 taste catch Wendy's on the right day, at the right time, 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.679 and they cooked the bacon eader up to a hot perfection. 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.520 I will go Dave single on a day where I 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.520 want that lettuce in there for some freshness and the 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:31.080 bacon eader when I'm craving some applewood. Now that they 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.080 still have the square patties, is do they have the 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.880 square patties? That's that's their trademark, with their trademark, Yeah, 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:42.400 two square patties in there, crispy bacon, that amazing melted cheese. 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.480 Catch up Mayo, And I'm also gonna make this number one. 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.280 I think that's a good choice because it's available to 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:53.280 everybody who could pretty much here this podcast. I gotta 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.120 say I've had it good and bad there at Wendy's. 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.359 There's been Wendy's where I go and it's like a 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.959 little underwhelming, and then times where I had it and 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:05.800 I was like oh you know said there's an angel 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.360 above your head while you're eating it. The greatest Windy's 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.439 meal I ever had. I was driving the spring training 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:17.000 in Arizona and I stopped right across the California border. 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:18.920 I forget what town it is in Arizona, but startial 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.399 with a W. I remember started with a W. This 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.560 big truck stop, massive truck stop. But there was a 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:29.320 Windy's there, and I love wind Oh man, it was 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.440 I was just the right combination of being hungry. Yeah, 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:36.800 and they cooked it perfectly. See that's what I'm saying. 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.879 That's my only complaint about Wendy's. Is there a little 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.560 hit and miss? Yeah? No, I agree. Now not making 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.119 the list, that's a very interesting list there that we 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:50.800 do list radio or podcasting. But no, White Castle did 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:57.359 not make the No White cast. Yeah, White Castle and 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.000 I've eaten there, you know, late night, having a good 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.760 time whatever. But that stuff to taste of that you 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.280 when you go to the bathroom a couple of days later, 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:09.760 it smells like White Castle's very powerful. It's very powerful. 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:15.160 I feel like White Castle is hangover food. Yeah, yeah, 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:19.680 you know, it's it's like college Tommy's is the same thing. 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:24.160 We would go there after the club and it was yeah, 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:28.000 it was the food to try to soak up the alcohol. Well, 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:29.760 I would go there just to get fat. I would 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:31.560 go there after the show at three in the morning 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.240 on a Saturday, you know, Friday and Saturday, and I'd 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.440 sit in the parking lot. I go through the drive through. 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:40.960 I'd order like a triple chili cheeseburger, the big fries. 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:42.920 I'd get a big drink, and then I'd sit in 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.080 the parking lot and eat and watch all the people 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.600 coming from the Hollywood clubs, stumbling down from the sunsets trip, 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.479 stumbling and bumbling, and I said, boy, those people they 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:53.359 have a life. I'm just coming back from the radio station. 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.360 I got nothing going on. It was a great show though. 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:58.040 People watching it was amazing. And fortunately my mom was 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.040 always worried I was gonna get shot. I didn't a 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.760 shot sitting in the parking lot at the Hollywood Tommy, 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.760 so I survived. Everything was fun. I saw some really 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:09.600 um see, uh, I don't know what has the way for. 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.000 I saw stuff that probably was illegal that took place 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.320 in the parking lots there, but it didn't involve me. 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.080 There's that alright, let's keep it going. It is the 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:27.240 mail bag male male male male. Mayle's right, Colma, alright. 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:30.480 Next one is from Jennifer, our friend, Jennifer, the Lovely 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.960 Jennifer and Richmond, Virginia, and she says, Hi, Mighty Ben 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:39.000 and cheese stick, drumstick Danny g. She says, I believe 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.280 we're all about the same name. So did either of 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:46.880 you go to your twentieth high school reunion? She says 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:50.359 I did not. Jennifer says, but traveling from Richmond, Virginia 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:55.040 to Chattanooga, Tennessee wasn't the reason. I love the fact, Jennifer, 0:20:55.080 --> 0:21:00.000 you're from Chattanooga, the Chattanooga choo Choo choo choo. Anyway, 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.800 she says, high school was simply not a fond era 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:07.000 for me. I sure didn't want to voluntarily walk back 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:10.040 in there. Even though I'm not the shy girl I 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:13.640 once was. I occasionally have nightmares from those school days. 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:16.600 I'm right there with you, Jennifer. I I've had people 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:19.640 reach out. It's a weird thing because I'm not famous 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.800 by any means, but there's some people, you know how 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:24.240 this goes to any when they find out you're work 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.880 in radio. People that are from your past, we'll come 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:31.160 back into your life and sent your messages. And I've 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:32.760 kind of been a douche to some of these people 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.119 because I said, listen, I don't I hated high school. 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:37.800 I could not stand high school. I couldn't wait to 0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:40.080 get out of I I changed. I went to a 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:41.840 couple of different high schools, and part of it was 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.520 because I hated high school. People were as souls to me, 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:47.040 and uh, and so I it was just it was 0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:50.000 a nightmare. And now looking back, there's some people that 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:51.560 are very good friends. I have a couple buddies, my 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:53.919 gambling bunny Hunter I went to Vegas with. We were 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.320 high school football teammates. And there's a couple of people 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.440 I went to high school with president, but the vast 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:02.080 majority I want nothing to do with. And uh, I 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:04.000 don't know how their lives turned out. I assume some 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:05.800 of them were successful, some of them happy, some of 0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.040 them aren't. I mean, that's just how life is. But 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:11.280 but yeah, I don't know, Like, what's what would the 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:13.000 point of that be to go back to like do 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:15.160 a flex and say look at me now. I don't 0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:17.760 need to do that. Who cares? It doesn't matter where 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:20.879 nobody's right you know here, I don't know you, Danny, 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:24.439 did you go? I missed my ten in recent years, 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.200 I did make my twenty. But I actually I was 0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:31.560 behind the turntables. I played the music for the night. Yeah, well, 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:33.920 you were probably more popular than you know. I. I 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.400 was not popular. I was not I was the fat guy. 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:39.760 I was the radio station kid. So I was the 0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:43.159 one that gave all their dedications and shoutouts and requests 0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:46.879 to We did afternoon radio their k b d G 0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:50.520 ninety point nine FM that went on to work at 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:53.840 the big FM radio station there in the area. And 0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:57.359 so they're like, can you play the music for the reunion? 0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:01.200 Problem was they scheduled it during the sun during a 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:06.320 heat wave. Ben, my hard drive melted. Yeah, I remember 0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:09.640 you said that your equipment got all destroyed, all destroyed. 0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:13.520 I had one of my control records on my turntable warped. 0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:17.280 I mean, I had the hardest time DJ and that 0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:20.760 gig because half my equipment got screwed up from the 0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:26.160 one and thirteen degree heat. YEA, not a good memory. 0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:29.240 I made it work. I had music playing the whole night. 0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:31.639 But it's not It's not one of those gigs I 0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.960 looked back fondly on because of all the hurdles I 0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:37.440
