Speaker 1: to you. The college Football Saturday. We are hanging out

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: early on this thirtieth day of August a massive college

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: football game. It's on Fox early this morning. As we're

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: doing this here, Danny Ohio State, the buck Guys, the

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: reigning champions of college football, and the Texas Longhorns. So

16
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: we're going to counter program that because most people who

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: are going to listen to this podcast are going to

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: be listening after that game is long gone, and so

19
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: we're just going to do the normal Fifth Hour podcast here. However,

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: we will be watching. I might take a nap and

21
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: go back and watch the second half of the game.

22
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: It's rather early, but Nonetheless, Danny, we're ready to go.

23
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: Here on this podcast, we have Olympic like daycare with

24
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: no care and a rear window wisdom situation. But we

25
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: begin with is now. On the previous edition of the

26
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour back on Friday, I told some stories about

27
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: going to Vegas, and I have been going to Las

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: Vegas for a long time. I can't believe how long

29
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: it's been. Now over thirty years, I believe I've been

30
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: going to Las Vegas. I have seen seen it all,

31
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: the old mob era residue. Now, when I was younger

32
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: and I was a kid, my parents would take me

33
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: to Vegas, and you still, even as a you knew

34
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: that there was some there was some like rat pack

35
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: type stuff going on. There was still some of the

36
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 1: remnants of old Vegas, the nostalgia. And over the years

37
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: we've had the mega resorts that you can go to

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: Vegas and all of a sudden you're supposed to be

39
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: in Perie or New York or Rome or wherever in

40
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: the middle of the desert, which I think should have

41
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: stopped human life sometime, should have stopped supporting human life

42
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: sometime back, I don't know, in the nineteen forties or

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: something like that or fifties. But anyway, I watched Vegas

44
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: turn from a place where you go there, you get

45
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: a free drink, you can play the penny slots, and

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: now you go there and they want you to pay

47
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: twenty dollars to put ice in your water glass and

48
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: fifty dollars if you want to view of the kitchen.

49
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: So where are the white women at.

50
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: Ben When we were kids, our moms were able to

51
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: get photographed nude by Sammy Davis Junior.

52
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and Sinatra would make sure the photos were okay.

53
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: But it's the biggest scam.

54
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: And I love Vegas pulled our moms out of the crowd.

55
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: I know, I know it was Listen, the main issue,

56
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: my biggest problem with Vegas. And again I like it.

57
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's a good place to visit all that stuff.

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: The biggest scam is this parking thing. Now. I was

59
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: told years ago the reason they charged for parking in

60
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: Vegas is because the hockey team, the NHL. You can

61
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: blame Gary Bettman. When they moved the NHL team, the

62
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: expansion team went to Vegas. They're like, well, every team

63
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: has to get revenue from parking, and we can't get

64
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: any revenue. Because the arena is right behind the MGM,

65
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: right across from like New York, New York to that area.

66
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: MGM's across the street. People are just gonna park free.

67
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: We're not gonna get revenue. Said, fine, we're gonna charge

68
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: for parking at the hotels around the arena, and then

69
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: the other people, well, people are gonna park further away,

70
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna walk. Well, okay, then we have to charge

71
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: parking for the all the other hotels and so. But

72
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: parking is it's got to be the least clamorous word

73
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: in the English language. And where I come from, Danny,

74
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be free. I come from a state

75
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: with free parking. It's asphalt, it's some white paint, that's it,

76
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: that's all. And parking lots are supposed to just kind

77
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: of be there. You don't really pay attention to them,

78
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: you don't pay for them. And there are places you

79
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: believe your vehicle and go spend your money. But in

80
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: Las Vegas right now, parking has somehow become a luxury

81
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: commodity in Vegas, and it's embarrassing. Right on Friday, I'll

82
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: tell you the story, Dan. On Friday last week, I

83
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: did the overnight show, and then we had a day

84
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: to kind of futs around and move around, and then

85
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: Saturday was the event. So my wife and I I

86
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: ended up spending I showed out eighty dollars for parking

87
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: on Friday in Vegas. Eighty dollars. I did not realize

88
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: this because my wife booked the hotel. The hotel we

89
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: were staying at, which I will not name because I

90
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: don't want to get sued. Fifty dollars to park at

91
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: the hotel. Yeah, fifty dollars the park at the hotel.

92
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 3: It's horrible.

93
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. And so then my wife said, well, I

94
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: want to see a show, and so she she got

95
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: tickets to see this Dita vonteee. She wanted to see

96
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: the show. And I have no interest in that show.

97
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: But as you know, Danny, through the marriage license, I

98
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: am required to attend. What was the show, Dita von

99
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: Teese type, Yeah, exactly. But I was the chaperone, and

100
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: you know, I was there kind of standing in the

101
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: background and minding my own business and all that stuff.

102
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: But I couldn't get over eighty dollars, Danny. I've been

103
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: to New York many times. My brother's in her eighty

104
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: dollars is Manhattan parking parts of Manhattan. It's it's low

105
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: end parking, manhat eight dollars, midtown Manhattan, Valet with the

106
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: top down type money. And this is Las Vegas, where

107
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: last I checked, they have plenty of land there, Danny,

108
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: I mean there's lots of land. They're not short on

109
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: land in Vegas. They can build more parking lots if

110
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: they want, and they have a lot of open space.

111
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: So another part of this to tell a story with you.

112
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: On the fifth hour here, when we got to Vegas

113
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: after the long drive we had to do the show

114
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: that night, my wife wanted to Valet. Now you know, Danny,

115
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: my position on Valet parking. Yes, I have taken a

116
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: strong position of anti Valet parking. She wanted, he always

117
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: wants to Valet. Valet to her is civilization. It's progressed.

118
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: To me, Valet parking is extortion with somebody wearing a

119
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: bow tie. And I of course said no. I was

120
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: in no mood, driving and trying to get ready for

121
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: the show, so I pulled out my executive marriage powers

122
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: and I said, no, not going to do it. And

123
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: I said I will be the valet. I will take

124
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: every single bag to the room. Don't worry about it.

125
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: You can tip me if you want, I'll do it.

126
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: And so here's the catch. Though my wife does not

127
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: pack light, Danny, I think your wife's probably similar to mine.

128
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: Like when I go somewhere by myself, I will pack

129
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: like a college sophomore trying to get away from the

130
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: dorm for a couple of days. I like my suit case.

131
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: You need one backpack probably, or one tote.

132
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,679
Speaker 1: Bag exactly, one bag, a couple of shirts, a couple

133
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: of boxer shorts, a pair of shorts, maybe a toothbrush

134
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: if I remember, maybe deodorant if I remember. Now, my

135
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: wife packs like she's about to circumnavigate the globe in

136
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: a hot air balloon and she doesn't know where she's

137
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: gonna land, whether it'll be cold or hot, and she

138
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: needs everything, and it's just unbelievable, right, I'm pretty sure

139
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: if she could bring an ottoman from the home, she

140
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: would just be why not we need an automan. We

141
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: don't need an to me where a hotel? I want

142
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: an ottoman. Okay, bring the ottoman. I'll carry it into

143
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: the room. So I mean it's any So here I

144
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: am the self appointed bell hop shuddling luggage like a

145
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, some kind of sherpa, hauling gear up Mount

146
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: Everest and all of this because of course I refuse

147
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: to pay some someone there in a red vest, what

148
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 1: was it, thirty bucks or whatever to do valet parking.

149
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: And so I thought I won. I thought I won, Danny,

150
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: except as you know when you're when you're married, winning

151
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: these little battles, I'll tell you what the compass it's

152
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: like winning a coin toss and then fumbling the kickoff,

153
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: because well, you won the coin toss, but we gave

154
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: the ball up. We fumbled the kick returner fumbled the ball. Well,

155
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: you won the coin toss, but we fumbled the ball.

156
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: Now technically you're ahead because you won the coin toss,

157
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: but you don't really feel feel like you're your head.

158
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: And the whole weekend carried out with she had a

159
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: sour taste. She was upset. I didn't valet, and I

160
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: was getting upset because every bill came with a service fee.

161
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: Every drink was priced like it was blessed by the pope,

162
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm like, we can just go to Costco,

163
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: buy some booze and have a great time.

164
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: Oh boy, you're sounding more and more like Rob Parker.

165
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: I know I'm turning into Rob Pert and Vegas has

166
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: turned into the it's the Olympics, It's the nickel and

167
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: dime Olympics. You gotta have the bones, like you don't

168
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: just lose your money at the table. I'm okay if

169
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: I bet a three team parlay, which it's a sucker bet,

170
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: and I lose. Fine, if I bet on the Cleveland

171
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: Guardians because Dick and Dayton told me to bet on them,

172
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: and I lose, I'm fine, But to lose on all

173
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: this all you lose at the tables, but you lose

174
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: in your room. You lose plugging your phone into the wall.

175
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: I think they charged for that. The why fi you

176
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: lose just breathing the oxygen they pump into the casinos

177
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: to keep you awake. You lose it that everything's a loss.

178
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: And the thing that really drove me nutstanding and I

179
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: want to.

180
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: Definitely lose lung capacity inhaling all that cigar smoke.

181
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, as I said, I and I think it

182
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: was yesterday's podcast, Like I had a raspy voice doing

183
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: the show because I walked through the casino and everyone

184
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: was smoking and it messed my voice up. But the

185
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: thing that really annoyed me too is the wife kind

186
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: of shrugged. I was complaining about how much they were

187
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: gouging us with all these ridiculous fees, and my wife

188
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: kind of shrugged, and she said, well, this is just

189
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: how it is, Ben, you know, this is just how

190
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: it is. And she's probably right, that's just how it is.

191
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: And maybe Vegas doesn't have to offer free parking anymore

192
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: because they know that people will keep coming back no

193
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: matter what, even though the tourism numbers are down, but

194
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: the people are just sheep, especially from La and you know,

195
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: it's like sheep to the shearing shed and lemmings off

196
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: the cliff and all that. And they've built this empire

197
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: on the assumption that no one will actually ever say no,

198
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: Like they keep raising prices because no one will ever

199
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: say no, and there's enough people that'll go that'll make

200
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: it work. And the worst part is they're probably right.

201
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: And I know that I'll be back and I'll complain

202
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: about it next time I go. And Danny, I know

203
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: you'll you're not happy about the prices either, but you'll

204
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: be back, right, You'll go back and we'll all go

205
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: back and I'm gonna scream and shout, and you eighty

206
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: dollars parking for a couple hours on asphalt and seeing

207
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: neon lights off in the distance and all that stuff.

208
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 3: And you know, try having your favorite NFL football team

209
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 3: in that city. Oh I know, oh man. I mean

210
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: thanks to you last season, I was able to see

211
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 3: a game and I didn't have to pay for tickets,

212
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 3: but I still had to pay for everything else involved.

213
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: And it is similar to going to an amusement park

214
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 3: in California or flying maybe to Disney World in Florida.

215
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 3: You get taxed because they know you're gonna pay it.

216
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: Everybody loves it that much that they know they have

217
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: you buy the balls. It's kind of like when our pets,

218
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: our animals get sick. The vet has us by the

219
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 3: you know what, So we're gonna pay through the nose.

220
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: We're just gonna do it.

221
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I know. I just want to clarify though,

222
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: again they're in They call it the hospitality business, Danny.

223
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: A lot of those people that work at hotels, they

224
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: got degrees in hospitalities, people that run the hotels. But

225
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Hospitality is supposed to mean, Hey,

226
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: we're glad you're here. We're really happy to see you. Man,

227
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: is it great, We're really man, we're very hospitable. In

228
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: Vegas right now, it means we're glad that you're trapped.

229
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: That's the real magic. You're turning robbery in broad daylight

230
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: into customer service and hospitality. That's the Vegas way right now.

231
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: And at some point there will be an epiphany. They'll

232
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: lower the price, they'll make a big deal. They'll spend

233
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: a lot of money on radio commercials and podcast commercials

234
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: and TV commercials, and then it'll be nice. And then

235
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: slowly they'll raise the prices back up, because that's the

236
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: way it works, nanny like cable television. Remember how happy

237
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: people wore court cutters get rid of cable television, and

238
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,479
Speaker 1: now you end up most people end up with just insane,

239
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: insane bills because they've got all these streaming services and

240
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. You know what I need, Danny's, I need daycare.

241
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: That's what I need. I need my own daycare at

242
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: this point, my god.

243
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, here, you need to run a daycare because you'd

244
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: make ten times more money than broadcasting. I don't want

245
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 3: this to sound like two old guys yelling through microphones.

246
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: No lie, no bs.

247
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: I'm just at this point, I'm just over it. I'm

248
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 3: gonna be a what's the fancy way to say nanny?

249
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 3: If you're a male nanny, O pair, remember that from

250
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 3: Jerry maguire.

251
00:13:58,720 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: You remember that.

252
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 3: We have a dilemma right now. My better half an

253
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:09,359
Speaker 3: eye CoA. He needs daycare. He needs some sort of preschool,

254
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: even though he's not ready for the caterpillar room yet.

255
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 3: Obviously they still have these daycare centers, but especially in California.

256
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: And I'm sure whatever state you're in listening right now,

257
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 3: you know daycare is an issue in our country. Now,

258
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: Ben the prices you were talking about Vegas, at least

259
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: you're there having fun. Imagine having a toddler in your

260
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 3: life right now and trying to navigate our world. Daddy.

261
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's not easy. I know. It's not a

262
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: lot of hidden costs, which I guess are not really

263
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: that hidden, you kind of know.

264
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 3: Going into town, not hidden at all. In fact, they

265
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: have these prices posted when you walk into the lobby

266
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 3: of this Monassory school, so Montassori in essence, they like

267
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: to teach kids real world living rather than fantasy. So

268
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: instead of all these colorful toys from Target and games

269
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: and board games, they go like gray dishes and glass

270
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 3: bowls and things made out of wood. They're thinking is,

271
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: let's have these kids work with things that are in

272
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: the house instead of you know, make believe. Will do

273
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: real world type stuff, which that doesn't sound fun for

274
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: a toddler.

275
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: No, you want to play it around with a bunch

276
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: of plastics.

277
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

278
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 3: CoA wants a fricking car from Cars from Disney. He

279
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: wants Mader the truck. He wants you know, Lightning McQueen.

280
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 3: That's his thing right now. He doesn't want a glass bowl.

281
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: So what we see these kids through that we make

282
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 3: an appointment for this Monassory school in our city. We

283
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: bring Cole with us to this appointment. There's this one

284
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: sided glass window where you can look in at these kids.

285
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: They're in a fish bowl and it looked like they

286
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: were in a little jail. It looked like they were

287
00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 3: imprison in there, these poor bastard little kids. This director,

288
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: she takes us outside to the play area, which, by

289
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 3: the way, the artificial turf. Okay, fine, whatever, but next

290
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: to the turf was a brick wall. CoA is gonna

291
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 3: take three steps toward this wall trip and knock his

292
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: big noggin right into the bricks. That was a check

293
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 3: mark against them, the biggest check mark of all though.

294
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 3: We get back to the lobby. She hands us a

295
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 3: pamphlet for this place, and I saw some of the

296
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: prices hanging up on the wall in there too, and

297
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: they were in small print. Good for them, They should

298
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: make the print even smaller. What do you think a

299
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: half day at this monassory school would cost a parent?

300
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is the menu, all right? Let me

301
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: do some math on this.

302
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: Me.

303
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do some malor math in real time. So

304
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: let's say how many How many hours is a half.

305
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: Day from eight thirty am to twelve thirty at lunchtime?

306
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: So four hours, I'm gonna say. If it's I'll go high.

307
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: Oh man, what are they try? It's like twenty five

308
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: an hour or something like that? Is that? Is that

309
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: what they're doing?

310
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: Oh man? If it was twenty five an hour, we

311
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: would have had cod in one of these places a

312
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 3: long time ago, all.

313
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: Right, So I would have come up with twenty five

314
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: an hour, which I think is like one hundred and

315
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: twelve dollars or something that I'm way off.

316
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they want two hundred and forty dollars per half day.

317
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, two hundred and forty four is four and

318
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: a half hours. You say, all right, let me do

319
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: the math on that. That means.

320
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 3: Four four hours, four hours, eight thirty to twelve thirty.

321
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: That is sixty dollars an hour. Holy crap, Yeah, sixty

322
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: dollars an hour. So what they got to pay somebody?

323
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: How much they pay something thirty dollars an hour? Then

324
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: they keep thirty on top of that. Is that how

325
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: that goes?

326
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: I bet? I bet you The teachers get twenty five.

327
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So then they make the extra, They make it

328
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: thirty five on top of that.

329
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 3: What a freaking joke. As we're in the lobby and

330
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 3: now I see Brenda's eyes light up as she's looking

331
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 3: through the pamphlet it and I had already seen, like

332
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 3: I said, I had already saw it on the wall,

333
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: so I already had one foot out the door. I'm like,

334
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 3: f this place, what sixty dollars an hour? So that

335
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 3: they can play with a glass bowl. If it's sixty dollars,

336
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: it better look like fucking Disneyland in this joint, like

337
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 3: it better be a place CoA is dying to get

338
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: to every day, right.

339
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: And of course, while CoA is playing with the bowl,

340
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: the person sust to be washing was on their phone.

341
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: You know.

342
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, the bull's about to be on his head, cutting

343
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 3: off his breathing. CoA sees something in the lobby that

344
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 3: he wants his hands on. It's like some stupid plant

345
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 3: they had in there, like a small plant, almost looked

346
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 3: like a cactus. I don't know why they would have

347
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 3: that around kids. He sees it, he wants it. I

348
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 3: tell him, no, that's not your plant. You can't have that.

349
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: Now he starts to throw a fit. He is starting

350
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 3: to melt down. I politely excuse myself and I take

351
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 3: him outside the front entrance door. So now he's outside,

352
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: I set him down. He runs towards their bushes. He

353
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 3: starts like terminator, pulling flowers and leaves and branches down,

354
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 3: and he's going he's going full on stitch and he's wrecked.

355
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: Oh he's screaming. Record Yeah he went now from screaming

356
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: because of something he couldn't have to. I am gonna

357
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 3: mess up their entire front entrance area. So he's throwing

358
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: flowers and leaves, and I see this director looking outside

359
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: the glass doors, and I'm like, oh my god, she's

360
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 3: not gonna want this kid for eighty dollars an hour.

361
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 3: He's throwing a huge fit. Obviously Brenda now sees. She's like, okay, bye.

362
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 3: She comes out. She's like, let me, let me pick

363
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: him up. She picks them up. He is like slapping

364
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 3: at her, And that's what toddlers do. They if they

365
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,239
Speaker 3: get that mad, they start pinching at you. And if

366
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: they don't want to be held, they don't want to

367
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 3: be held. We get them back to the car. He

368
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 3: is flipping the f out the entire ride home. He

369
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: is going bananas. He won't stop screaming. We get him

370
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 3: inside and we calm him down, and everything ben. The

371
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 3: very next day, twenty four hours later, oh oh, he

372
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 3: is throwing up all over the living room, all over

373
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 3: his pajamas. He is sicker than a sick dog. He

374
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: obviously got something from that damn germ factory that they

375
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 3: call a monatssory school.

376
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: Dad's got the barf bucket.

377
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 3: That is so smart, because he threw that tantrum. We

378
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 3: didn't do our usual parent routine, which is slather the

379
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 3: uh you know the hand sanitizer.

380
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the hands. Yeah. I try to forget

381
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: about that after the pandemic.

382
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, you got kids though. You can never forget

383
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 3: about hand sanitizer. In fact, you always have it in

384
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: your pocket. You always have it latched onto your bag

385
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 3: or your keys. And in this case, we have the

386
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: spray kind, so we're usually spray like. It's like Banaka,

387
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 3: We're spraying it in his mouth. So he got something

388
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: so bad from that damn place. It's now been over

389
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 3: a week later. He is still sick.

390
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: Really.

391
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 3: Yes, we had to take him to the er. They

392
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 3: had to give him breathing treatments. This is the most

393
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 3: sick this kid has ever been.

394
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: You killed it.

395
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: Wow. What are you gonna do though? Is there other options?

396
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: Are you? Like? I don't know what you're gonna Yeah.

397
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna have to keep doing what we've

398
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 3: been doing, which is I take the morning shift. She

399
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 3: takes the afternoon shift when I'm on the Covino and

400
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 3: Rich show, and then at night after post production, I

401
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 3: get back home and I relieve her. We kind of

402
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 3: we're like a tag team wrestling duo, and that's how

403
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to keep doing it. The problem is

404
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 3: that morning shift, she's upstairs doing her job remotely, and

405
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 3: he knows she's up there, so if he's not in

406
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 3: a good mood, he's screaming and crying because he knows

407
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 3: she'll come down the stairs. So he has been interrupting

408
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: her workflow and that's been that has been our biggest challenge.

409
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 3: I don't know how we're going to get through this,

410
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 3: But everybody say a little prayer for Okay, for Brenda. Yeah,

411
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: because there's no way in hell we have that in

412
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 3: the budget to pay for even a better place that

413
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 3: had less germs and more colorful toys. But man, we're

414
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: at a standstill now. This is like just hitting your

415
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 3: head up against a brick wall if you're a parent.

416
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, if you have any suggestions, you can email

417
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: in real fifth hour at gmail dot com. We have

418
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: a mail bag tomorrow and if we don't get it

419
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: to get to it tomorrow, we can do it next

420
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: week on the mail bag. Too bad, they don't have

421
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: chuck e cheese anymore. Like the old school, you just

422
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: throw the kid in the chucky cue.

423
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 3: Well, one place they do have which is about a

424
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: seven eight minute drive from our house. They have one

425
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 3: of those indoor playgrounds, which cool you see in a

426
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: lot of towns. Nowadays, it's Blippy's favorite place to hang out.

427
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: We got them a monthly pass. That is one trick

428
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: I do to at least get them out and give

429
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 3: her a little bit of time, maybe an hour hour

430
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 3: and a half as I take them to that indoor playground,

431
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 3: which you have to hover over the kids so they

432
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: don't kill themself, and you have to spray their hands

433
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: with the sanitizer every few minutes. But at least it's

434
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 3: something where he's exercising and he's out of the house.

435
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: There you go, I hear you. Well, this is the

436
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: fifth hours called how Much Can You Complain? That's and

437
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to continue the tradition. I got one more.

438
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, but it's real life though in our age

439
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 3: in our age group, unfortunately, we run into all these

440
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 3: damn issues that cost a lot of money.

441
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and complaining is the last noble American pastime. It

442
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,239
Speaker 1: really is. When people, you know, people come and go

443
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: with different things. I like baseball for a while, maybe

444
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: you hate baseball, You like the NFL. Maybe you're down

445
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: on the NFL. You know, pickleball. It's a fad, right people.

446
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: Complaining is eternal. So here's my latest complaint. There's there's

447
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: too much begging in the world right now. I realize

448
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: that I'm a guy that put weed Man Hippie on

449
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: the radio for years and all he did was beg

450
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: for money. But I don't mean begging like your dog

451
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: or you know, eating, You know, I want a sandwich

452
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: or something, our kid wants a toy or something like that.

453
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: What I mean is the full on handout, Please give

454
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 1: me something begging. You walk into a grocery store and

455
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: there's a person outside asking for a dollar to save something,

456
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, something something dying or whatever of the environment.

457
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: You walk inside and there's a corporate charity drive asking

458
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: you for a couple of dollars. Even when you check

459
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: out at self checkout, they say, would you'd like to

460
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: round up the bill to save a turtle and Galopagos

461
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: or something? And you're You're like, well, what am I?

462
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: What am I supposed? I can't say no, can I?

463
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't let the turtle down? And of

464
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: course I say no all the time. But here's the

465
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: thing I am prepared for that, Danny. I know that's coming.

466
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: I know the circle of life. And you go to stores,

467
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: there's people outside begging. You go in the store, there begging.

468
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: What I'm not prepared for is when I'm on the

469
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 1: highway and begging. The highway to me, is supposed to

470
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: be a sanctuary from that. You're in your car, you're

471
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: alone with your thoughts. You've got either bad sports talk

472
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: radio on or some crappy music or something. You're you're

473
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: shouting at the traffic app on your phone because it

474
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: sent you through some off ramp and Van Eyes. You

475
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: don't need to go to Van Eys. Why did it

476
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: send you to Van Eyes? But it said you're on

477
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: the fastest route anyway, and uh, but you're free from

478
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: all that other stuff, except you're not. So let's go

479
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: in the hot tub time machine. The other day, and

480
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: people have now decided that the rear window is a

481
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: GoFundMe page. Have you seen this, Danny, I've seen this

482
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: multiple times. The other day, I'm driving on the four

483
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: h five to the one on one already the eighth

484
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: circle of Hell, right right, It's just a nightmare. And

485
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: the car in front of me had written you know

486
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: that that kind of chalky writing. Yeah. Yeah.

487
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 3: Sometimes you'll see like a youth team won a championship.

488
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, they write that across the back.

489
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: So that they had giant letters on the back of

490
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: this car. It's my birthday, Buy me a coffee. And

491
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: then they had the venmo at whatever you know, whoever

492
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: was hit the hell out of here. Yeah. So suddenly

493
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: I'm trapped in a fundraising campaign while I'm driving on

494
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: a one oh one. Now I have a few questions

495
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: about this number. One does anyone actually send these people money? Danny, Like,

496
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: is there some guy out in Sherman Oaks who's thinking,

497
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: you know what, that brown Corolla over there?

498
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 3: No enough, This would have to be a hot blonde

499
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: driving this vehicle for this ploy to work, because I've

500
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 3: seen this online on social media. I've seen girls post

501
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 3: a picture they are wearing next to no clothes and

502
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 3: they're like, it's my birthday month, buy me a drink,

503
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 3: and then they put their link for you to give

504
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 3: them some money. And you know, suckers out there send

505
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 3: them money and like have a drink. I mean they

506
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 3: think they're gonna score with that girl down the line.

507
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the term for this. You're absolutely right, Danny.

508
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: Great minds think alike. I was thinking about this as

509
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: I was driving, and it's PGP. It's pretty girl privilege, right,

510
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: if you're a hot chick, you can make money off that.

511
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: If I did that, I'd get laughed at and people

512
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: would point at me. And if I said, it's my birthday,

513
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: buy me a coffee at the car, nobody's venmoing me anything.

514
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: They're honking because I'm holding up traffic. They're reporting me

515
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: for vandalism, saying what do you do the car?

516
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 3: They'd probably venmo you fifty cents so they could write

517
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 3: a mean comment and it would get to you.

518
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: Well, that's like when Robbie the Mariner fan alleged I

519
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: think it was Robbie. Weed Man kept begging for money,

520
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: and I don't know it was a Robbie or justin

521
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: one of those schmucks. They sent weed Man like as

522
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: low as I don't think it was one cent, but

523
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: it's as low as you could possibly send, and it

524
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: was it was really low, and weed Man was all

525
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: excited because he had a notification that he got money,

526
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: and then he clicked on and it was like a

527
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: few cents and it was really not good. But the

528
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: hot girl thinks true. Like a pretty girl, privilege is legit.

529
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: And you know, bunch, as you said, Danny, a bunch

530
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: of dudes. I like, oh, I could score with that chick,

531
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: you know. And of course she leans into it because

532
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: she knows she's going to get stuff, so she's embracing

533
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 1: her her hotness. And so there you go. And by

534
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: the way, how do you prove it's your birthday?

535
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 2: Like?

536
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: Is anyone checking? Is there is like an ID scanner

537
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: on the one oh one maybe when you go around

538
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: the Hollywood Bowl or something like that, and it's your birthday?

539
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: All right?

540
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 3: This could be like Christmas lights where the person leaves

541
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 3: it up the whole year.

542
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's my birthday. Send me twenty bucks every day

543
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: it's been your birthday. What about yesterday? Every day for

544
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: a month it's my birthday. So anyway, that's where I'm at.

545
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: You know, begging has invaded every part of life, even

546
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: when you're driving. I saw two of these cars two

547
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, come on.

548
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 3: You know, I'm making fun of this idea, but I'm

549
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 3: also writing down notes because now I know how I'm

550
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 3: gonna raise money for daycare.

551
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go say, uh, but you see you're

552
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: not the hot chick though, so I don't know that's

553
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: gonna probably would work, you know, but you can give

554
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: it a shot anyway. Happy birthday to everyonecause apparently it's

555
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: everyone's birthday every effing day. You just write it on

556
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: the car. There, that's it, and you're you know, rear wisdom,

557
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: real rear window wisdom. I will get out on that, Danny.

558
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: Have a great Saturday. I'm gonna be settling into the

559
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: sofa watching college football. Cannot wait all day long. I

560
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: got my schedule and really all weekend. This is a

561
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: big college football weekend. No NFL till next week, so

562
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: we got that to look forward to.

563
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you think about the Texas game? Who's winning?

564
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: Uh?

565
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going with the Buck guys. I don't believe

566
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: in the the hype for the Texas Longhorns, so I'm

567
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: going which means bet the house on Texas. But I'm

568
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: going with the Buck guys. What about you, I'm with you? Actually, Okay,

569
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: there you go. We're an agreement.

570
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 3: So so double put your money on the other team.

571
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: Longhorns will win by twenty points. All right, have a

572
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: wonderful day. We'll talk to you tomorrow. See you for

573
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: the mail bag. Asta pasta, My Felicia
