WEBVTT - Making This up as I Go 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:05.480 Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:09.200 week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.600 rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:23.439 hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:30.880 with Ben Maller starts right now in the air every 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:36.280 way it is the Fifth Hour with I, Ben Mallor 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.960 and Danny G Radio. Because four hours a night are 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.839 not enough, we do this eight days a week and 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:48.160 a Friday podcast. Now. Normally on Friday we have someone 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.239 in here and I shoot the crap with them and 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.319 someone who either I know or I want to get 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.640 to know a little bit better. But this week is different. 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:01.760 This is not like the normal week. Well, now, that's right, 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:05.960 because by popular demand, the listeners of the Fifth Hour 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.880 podcasts have said, Mallard, nobody wants to hear these interviews 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:14.120 every week. We need more Danny G Radio. Clamoring for 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.800 more Danny G Radio after he gave that amazing story 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:27.760 last week of the the head Tinderoni there jumps up 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:34.120 onto the massage table, straddles my girl sits on my 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:39.200 girl's rare end, is going to town on her and 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:46.880 and was kept slapping her, even slapped her ass. What 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.520 went wrong at the massage parlor? So, by popular demand, 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:55.440 an entire weekend of Danny g with Me on the 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:59.360 fifth hour. So Danny, give the people what they want. Danny, 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.000 give them what they want here. I guess that's what 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:06.760 happens when you tell NC seventeen rated stories. Yeah, here 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.000 I am Danny. I'm thinking, boy, I I really nailed 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:10.760 it on that podcast. You know, it was a great 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.880 pod and no, it was, Oh my god, I love Dandy. 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.040 That was the greatest story ever and on all that 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.080 and I'm like, well, what about me? You know, what 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:24.280 about me? And nothing really cares about you. All about 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.280 Danny j It's all about that X rated. They loved, 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.200 they loved that story. Danny was amazed. We're only here 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:36.160 because of you. And now my tender rowning asked me 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.280 if she should make another appointment so that we have 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.800 more content. She used the word content too. It's good 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.600 she's in the business now, she's bias Moses. She's learning 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.720 about all of the craziness that happens in all the 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:58.000 US nonsense. That surprised motherfucker is rather crazy. But anyway, 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.640 on this edition of the Fifth Hour, we've got uh 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:05.040 stories from the last few days and whatnot, more of that, 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:09.119 whatever pops I got, I've got Indiana Jones, Weird Science 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:13.280 will tell a tale about avocados. We've got song Time 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:19.480 and Cutting Room Floriday. This is an amazing amount of content, 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:24.440 absolutely free. Nobody had to pay a dollar for that. 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.320 What you actually have to have a device to hear it, 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.400 but you have that anyway, right, So you know what 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:34.800 I want to talk about on this Friday morning, Davante Adams. Yeah, Ben, 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.080 you've been preaching because of your rams about how draft 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.040 picks don't matter, and I know it's not what we 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.080 do on this podcast, so I'm sure you'll talk about 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.440 it on Sunday night. But you did tweet about how 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:51.280 Adams to the Raiders bumped March Madness from the front page. 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.960 It was wonderful. Yeah, And you tweeted how Aaron Rodgers 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.960 Brackett was broken. Um, but you forgot to tweet about 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.240 how the Raiders are now one of the Super Bowl favorites. 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:07.560 Calm down, Calm down that baby, all right, So we'll 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.120 start with this. The other night, it was a normal 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:15.160 night at Casa mallor the Mallard mansion. All all stories 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.000 started out like there was just a normal night and 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.120 then one thing, let do another and a normal night 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:25.520 became abnormal. The abnormal was now normal. So let me 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.640 explain what happened. So, um, you know, these are these 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.960 are first world radio problems. So imagine if you I'm 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.360 just normally preparing for the show like I I do. 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.240 I have a routine, I have a cadence. I've been 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.320 doing this for a long time. Not that I'm great 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.560 at it, but I kind of have the same routine 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.560 every day. Certain parts of the day, I do certain things, 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.160 and I got everything down. I get any set. I 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:47.880 changed my schedule a couple of years ago when we 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.600 started doing the show from the home studio, and so 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.640 I have that down now. I'm very comfortable. I I 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.600 have my routine and so I'm doing my normal thing. 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:02.200 You're like a well oiled machine exactly exactly. So I'm 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:03.960 I'm ready to do my thing. And on the normal 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.160 MIDWEKND and so I'm getting ready, I kind of map 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.080 out the show in my head. I have an idea. 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:14.880 I start out with a lot of possibilities, and then, 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.960 as you know Danny from doing this a long time, 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.640 you kind of whittle things down. It's like starting with 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.480 a block of wood and you kind of wheel stuff 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:22.800 away and you're like, all right, what do I want 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.280 to make this to be? What make it your masterpiece? 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.240 And so I'm doing that. I had a pretty good 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:30.719 idea of what I wanted to go with, and I 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.279 started jotting down some chicken scratch for the monologue notes 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.080 for the monologues, and I I got to the point 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:41.640 in the process, trust the process. As they say in Philadelphia, 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.839 that weasel Sam Hankey, so the old GM there. So anyway, 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.159 so I was like, all I'm good. And there's a 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.240 term we use from time to time. It's called, you know, 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.760 putting the baby to bed. And that's the point where 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.080 you've done everything you can do for the show. You've 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.200 got everything ready, you're prepared. Now you just have to 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.799 wait for showtime and you he got some time. Possibly 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.000 you'll kill it's your industry jargon, put the baby to bed. 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.360 So I had finished my copious amounts of research, I 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.440 had everything mapped out, I had a great battle plan, 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.640 and the sun Zoo The Art of War, and I'm 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.400 gonna settle in and I like to, you know, before 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.320 the show, I'd like to settle in, and I'm a loser. 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.479 I watched some NBA games. I flip around, watch some 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.000 NBA games whatever, whatever sports are on. It happened to 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.599 me that night NBA was on there a couple of games, 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.599 and so I'm watching and then boom, all of a sudden, 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:35.240 Oh no, it's a five alarm fire bell sounding. What 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:39.040 is this? What is this? Lights and sirens in our world? 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:47.880 Freddie Freeman had agreed to sign a contract with the 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:52.159 Los Angeles Dodgers, which meant my mapping of the show 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:57.720 well didn't go so well, so I had to had 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.960 to add live Daddy had to do some improv. And 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.440 it's one of the great quotes from Indiana Jones with 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.480 my memorable movies when I was a kid. Remember that 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:13.040 scene from Indiana Jones where Indiana somebody asked Indie, uh, 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.840 you know, what are you gonna do next? And his 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.240 reply was, I don't know, I'm making it up as 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.480 we go along. And that was kind of, you know, 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.000 just kind of free. So I'm not I was excited. 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.000 I was happy, I'm a Dodger fan, You're a Dodger fan. 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.440 So I was happy about all this, but still I 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.800 was like, I was texting the guys. I was like, 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.280 couldn't this happen? Like, you know, four o'clock in the afternoon, 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.840 five o'clock, six o'clock, seven o'clock, didn't have to happen 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.720 right before the show. And well, it did have to 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.040 happen right before the show, and it did happen. And 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:47.280 so this happens every once. I'm normally doing the overnight show. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.480 There's not much. Things usually shut down when the East 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:54.080 Coach shut down. That's mostly when things shut down. So, now, 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.320 did you get covered up for the first hour of 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.800 your show by the flamethrower A M five seventy l 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:08.240 A Sports? Did they bring Steve Saxon? I used to 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.920 worry about that stuff, but I have not. I've not 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.240 spent too much time. I just do my stay stay in, 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.400 you're light and uh so I don't worry. Sometimes we've 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:20.360 gotten covered up by Clipper postgame talk that's happened occasionally. 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:24.440 That the NBA games seem to be ending sooner um, 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.560 but yeah, we're guaranteed. Like during baseball season, on our 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.600 flagship in l A and five seventy Dodger station. We 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.120 are guaranteed there'll be one or two games in San 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:37.160 Diego or San Francisco or Colorado, Arizona that will go 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.720 until two in the morning. The entire show will be 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.280 covered up by you know, raining, They'll be raining, not 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.880 in Arizona, but in San Francisco, Colorado, or or l 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.600 or San Diego. So that's guaranteed. Happened, But yeah, I 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.480 don't know. It was. It was interesting, interesting night and 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.199 hopefully Freddie Freeman works out. Well, it ain't my money, 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.520 so good luck, and I think for the next couple 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.440 of years it should be good. After that, you know, 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.400 that's somebody else's problem right there. We don't need to 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.160 worry about. Man. I wanted to go to the MLB 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.559 All Star Game this year since it's here in l A. 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.880 What are those tickets gonna look like? Now? Yeah, well, 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.560 I'm hoping to go to that and not in the media, 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.960 but my man, Marlin's Man. A couple of years ago, 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.080 Marlin's Man invited me to the All Star Game at 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.640 Dodger Staffs sit right behind him at home plate. We 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.920 had it all planned out and then that freaking COVID 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.080 thing took place, and then that shut it down. So 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.240 I'm hoping. I'm still texting Marlins man from time to time, 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.360 so we're still a casual friends. He'll send me messages 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.280 from random college basketball games he's hat or whatever, so 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.160 I'm hoping we're good. I'm hoping, but I don't think 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.640 he responded last time. When Derek Jeter left the Marlins, 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.440 I sent him a text saying you're my pick to 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.679 be the new new Marlins executive. He didn't respond. I 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.440 think he might have been upset by that. So I hope. 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.520 I hope we're still on good terms. But but I 0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:00.680 don't know, no idea what you're trying to keep that 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.480 bottle of milk warm? Yeah, you know, I just check in, 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.640 just see what's going on from time, But he'll he'll 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.719 send me like random Martin's Man, I'll send me a 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.400 random messages from time. No, it's just kind of cool, 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.640 you know. It's it's nice that he's thinking about me. 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.080 All right, So weird science. So we go to the 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.720 bag of email. Early this week, Danny a little bag 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:23.120 of email earlier than normal here, and this one came 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:28.800 from Alex in the Netherlands. Alex in the Netherlands. He says, Ben, 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.440 thanks for the shout out about a month back. He's 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:35.280 been listening, Danny, to the nonsense that I have done 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:36.880 and you have been part of for a long time, 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:42.559 sixteen plus years. He's still listening. He and Alex has 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:46.160 a very interesting story. I've talked about him a few 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.320 times over the years. But he does high level in 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.480 his own words, he does high level science research. It's 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:56.559 not trigonometry. And he has lived all over Europe and 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:02.079 all over the world and he does the scientific research. 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.640 And he says he loves the crew and the collars. 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.520 He said, now he I think he was in Germany 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.040 before he now in the Netherlands. And he said some 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:11.640 nice things to me that he said, grew up in 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.439 southern California and Laguna Beach, so he's an O C 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.360 guy like I am. And uh, he did offer. And 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.200 this is interesting. The reason I brought this up, Danny, 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.079 you know, weird science and all that. He says, let 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.560 me know if you ever need a quantum physics expert, 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.160 keep on entertainings. Alex in the Netherlands. And so it 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:34.240 got me thinking, Danny, I mean I did respond to Alex. 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:35.480 I did right back to him. I don't know if 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.360 he's written back or not. Maybe I missed it, but 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.960 he I said to him and said, hey, you know, 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:41.880 I put you on, but you gotta be relatable to 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.640 the you know, the meat head sports radioist. You gotta 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.080 can you dumb it down enough? That's the key. If 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.520 he could do it, I'd love to have him on. 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.040 If he could explain. And I'm not that bright either, 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.040 If you could explain to me and make me understand 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.200 the kind of stuff that he's involved in, I think 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.520 that would be pretty interesting. I'd like to learn more 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.520 about that. But if he's gonna talk a bunch of 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.720 science mumbo jumbo, I don't know if that's gonna be 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:07.960 uh something we want to be part of. Right, he 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:12.200 could help us get Kelly Lebron out of our home computer, 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.360 then we'd be interested. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe he's 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.840 dealing with like nuclear codes or something like that. I 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:19.880 don't know what he's got going on. I have no idea, 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.760 but he's he's got stuff going on there, and it's 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.080 it's sounds interesting to me. That's a pretty impressive title. 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:31.400 Quantum physics. My head spins just thinking about my eyeballs 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.720 go to the back of my head thinking about quantum physics. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.760 But that's the world he's in. That's his world, and 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.319 and it's outstanding. I love that that guys like that 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.280 listen and I get emails some people like this every 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.760 once in a while that are that are fans, and 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:47.240 then you know, you you juxtapose that with the people 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:52.520 that call the show, and it's fascinating dichotomy between you know, 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.480 the certain people that there are are the casual listeners, 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.360 but they don't they don't contribute content usually, and then 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.719 the people that call all the time. So it's kind 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.680 of like when we will watch something where you don't 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.480 have to have your brain on whatsoever, like a bad 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.160 reality show or sixty Day marriage or something like that, 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.720 it makes you feel normal and better about yourself because 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.959 you're watching all these losers on that TV show. Yeah, 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.360 for sure, for sure. Now I did get another email 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:23.320 that I don't know if I want to get into 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:24.760 this now, maybe we'll stay here for later. But this 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.600 guy's like he thinks that there was this guy that 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.360 used to email the show when Gascon was on the podcast, 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.520 and he named I'm a pilot, and he would tell 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.200 these stories about he flew to like China during COVID 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.959 early on, and he had he got put in quarantine 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.439 on a Chinese hotel and he got taken by people 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.320 in space suits and amazing stories. And so there's there's 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.120 a guy that's been emailing me saying that guy's a fake, 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.439 that was gascon pretending to be I'm a Pilot, and 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.839 I was a I don't believe it was because I 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.000 the guy had emailed me. He hadn't emailed in a 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:58.400 long time. I unless, I mean, guess maybe he's diabolical 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.640 and had a different email coup. But I'm sure I 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.920 know information about I'm a Pilot. I will try to 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.640 get ahold of him, just to see what's going on 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.280 with him, because he's not emailed the show. But I 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.240 do not believe that is a As much as I'd 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.600 love to believe that that that's guests gone pretending to 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.600 be I'm a Pilot, I do not believe that to 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.280 be true. Guess guys west of the four or five 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.160 and all that loves to brag about that stuff, very 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:27.160 pompous and all that, but even that's a bridge too far. 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.400 I don't think you're gonna start a fake email account 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.880 and pretend to be, you know, a pilot and send 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.240 photos and it seems a lot. That's a lot of 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.880 extra work that you don't need to do. So anyway, 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.520 So the avocados, the price of avocados, The price of 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.240 everything's gone up, including avocados. We have a tale of avocados. 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.680 What is this all about, day, Well, it might surprise 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.400 you how I get to the avocados. It's more about 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.960 the drop that we use on the show Racist. Oh cool, 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:59.200 of course you're very popular. Oh yeah, you hear the 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:04.760 drop right there? Out of context racist drops. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:10.440 like the white cheeto puffs. Yes, yes, exactly. So yeah, 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.240 that drop will come into play on our show from 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:17.560 time to time. So you know, this past week, starting Monday, 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:22.400 was the first day in California that masks were optional 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.680 at all of our schools. Thank god. Oh yeah, we 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.760 talked about this a little bit last weekend. I go 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:35.200 to the kindergarteners at lunchtime and I'm thinking of myself, Man, today, 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:39.040 it's gonna be fun because these kids have no filters. 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.920 They don't know what I look like. This is like 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.480 an episode of the Twilight Zone where everyone's like wearing masks. 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.080 Remember that episode? Maybe not. I'm a I'm a nerd. 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:50.640 I used to watch The Twilight Zone as a kid. 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:52.640 But they had an episode where like everyone was a 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.520 merry mask and then they, if I remember it correctly 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.240 as I remember, they pulled the mask off and then 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.760 they had like weird faces, were looking faces, and they 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.320 didn't look normal. It was a while well yeah, and 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.880 it was super strange because I swear to god, there 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:11.720 were co workers I had never seen their faces before. Yeah, 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.960 so I'm looking at certain people and I'm like, that's 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.520 what he looks like, that's what she looks like. It 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.760 was just so odd. I get out to the campus. 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:24.360 I had my bit already prepared in my mind. I said, Okay, 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.240 what I'm gonna do with these little kindergarteners is when 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.000 they start talking to me, I'm gonna play it off 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:34.120 like I don't recognize them until I cover up with 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:38.960 my hand their mouth in their lower nose area, so 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.560 you know, oh, now, okay, oh that's good. That's a smart. 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.080 That's a smart And then all of a sudden, you 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:48.080 like Rick Flair yea. So they were loving that bit. 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.680 They're laughing there talking to me, and I'm like, who 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.160 are you. I've never met you before. Oh wait a second, 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.520 And then I'd stick my hand in front of their 0:16:55.560 --> 0:17:00.440 mouth and I'm like, oh, it's you, okay, um let 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.000 her laugh and they get a kick out of that. 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.560 But they're staring at me. They're like, you you have 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:10.720 a beard. You. I thought you were older. I thought 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.919 you were younger. I thought this. I thought that it 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.040 was just so funny to hear all of them and 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.199 all of their commentary based on the fact that they 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:24.639 could finally see our ugly faces. So there's one girl 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.240 and I've mentioned her on the show before because Aria 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.840 has no filter. She looks at me and she says, 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:40.040 I didn't know you were Spanish. And there's a girl 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.920 named Phoebe sitting right next to her, and she looks 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.760 at me with straight face and she says, does that 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:57.560 mean you like avocados? Racist? I have no filter, no 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.879 filter filter, And the only thing I could think of, 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:06.400 there's that TV commercial about avocados from Mexico. Oh yeah, 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:11.399 avocados from Mexico. Yes, yes, that's the only thing I 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.600 could think that she was connecting the dots with because 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:18.879 why else would she ask if I liked avocados, that's wonderful. 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.160 The kids say that that Cosby show. We can't say 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.600 that because Cosby has been canceled, but rightfully so. But 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:28.040 the the kids say that darned is things you're living 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:33.240 that life didn't. There's a little boy who was at 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.159 the same table named Evan, and he caught onto the 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:40.119 avocado thing. So all week long he followed me around 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:47.880 asking me about avocados. Avocado Did you just start making 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.400 stuff up like wild stories about how old are these kids? 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:51.919 Like roughly, what do we what do we look at? 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:58.840 How what age are there? Seventeen? Yeah, hold on, surprise, surprise, 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:03.480 Yeah they're five years old. Okay, yeah, yeah, So that's 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.439 great and they'll they'll reset, right, I mean usually kids 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:11.399 they have that childhood amnesia. What like, what's your earliest memory. 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.280 We've talked about this from time to time, but my 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.280 earliest memory maybe he's around five, but I like vague 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:20.480 memories of that. I I know they have said, I've 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.160 had studies on this where they say, well, kids actually 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.320 remember everything that just kind of filed in the back 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.120 of their their brain and stuff, and it's still kind 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.040 of there, but you don't. It's not in the front 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.920 of your memory like the front of my memory probably 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.240 you know, eight or nine. I remember I have really 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.600 good memories of everything from that point on in my life. 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.040 I would say, what about you. Yeah, I have a 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:44.000 memory of being at Disneyland. And when I told my 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:46.399 mom about it, she was like, you were like maybe 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.439 two and a half. How do you remember that? Um? 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.160 But it was because they put me up in that 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:57.000 Dumbo ride and she was holding me. My little head 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:00.119 sticking out of that Dumbo ride. And I remember at 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:03.760 day clearly. Back then at Disneyland, they had a room 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.040 that you would go into and there was a whole 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:11.800 bunch of different telephones, different characters, Disney characters pictures next 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.760 to each phone, and you picked up that phone and 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.320 the character was talking to you on the phone. I 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:22.400 thought that ship was real. I'm on the phone. I'm like, man, 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:27.879 Mickey Mouse is on this phone. I was all in man, 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.439 I thought that was real for sure. Um, that's my 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:37.720 earliest memory. That's great. I love I My first memory 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:41.080 that I I you know, recall with clarity. I was 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:45.159 on the school bus coming home and they had the 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:48.159 radio on on the school bus and the driver was 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:52.760 really kind of freaked out. And it was the day 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:56.600 that Ronald Reagan had been shot. And I remember like 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.320 running in to tell my mom, like, hey, the president 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.879 was shot like that, and I didn't really know what 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.359 that meant, but I just knew that the bus driver 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:06.919 was freaking out and there was like emergency programming on 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:12.880 the radio. And I still have very clear like memories 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.360 of getting on the school bus hearing on the way 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.040 home the you know, the radio reports and all that 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:19.680 the guy in the radio and the you know, the 0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:22.320 people on their yapping about that, and then the bus driver, 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:24.800 you know, turning up the sound to here here with 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:26.880 the guy in the radio is saying about that, which 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:28.960 maybe in some weird way to help me lead lead 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:31.879 to my career. But I do remember that, I do 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:36.760 recall that you were breaking news even back then. Yes, yes, Penny, 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:40.000 the news breaker and unless I wasn't, but those days, 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.680 you really that's way you got the news was from 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:45.000 the radio. Like there was no internet like ye to 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:48.920 wait for the newspaper the next day, or you would 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:51.639 get it on radio or television. That was it old media. 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.720 But yeah, word of mouth or as Ludicrous would say, 0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:58.440 word of mouth. We had the AP wire when we 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:01.760 were kids in radio. Yes, yes, I love it. But 0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:03.879 that was like the coolest thing when I started in 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:08.000 San Diego at the Extra Sports was the the high 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:11.240 speed sports wires Hackstock called it, and they had had 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:14.000 the sports ticker on one side in the newsroom and 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:17.720 the AP news wire, and they wasted so much paper 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:21.240 because they'd print, you know, the sports sticker would print 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.879 everything up and it was a nightmare. It would NonStop, 0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:27.199 just keep printing and printing and printing and printing and printing. 0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:29.600 But that was the news. Yeah, it was the interns 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.800
