There are some people that 16 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 4: would much rather hold than old dust s muskie book 17 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 4: then get online and read on their tablet. And my 18 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 4: mom was like that. She loved books. Now she did 19 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 4: eventually start reading on the tablet, but the book was 20 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 4: the way to go for Mamu back in the day. 21 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: But we were hanging out with you say brand new weekend. 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 4: You know that when the extra crutchy, extra spicy Fifth 23 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 4: Hour comes up. 24 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: And we're doing this very early.

But I don't know. 30 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: It's just a giant ball here, just a giant ball. 31 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 4: I'll explain why I'm doing the podcast I'm here and 32 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 4: how that might relate to you coming up in a 33 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 4: little bit, but we must before we get into all 34 00:01:53,760 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 4: of that, we must start back. Last Saturday, the third 35 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 4: day of August, Tom Brady's birthday. We celebrated Tom Brady's 36 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 4: birthday by all uniting is Won hanging out in Lost Wages, Nevada. 37 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 4: The first ever official official Malor meet and greet in 38 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 4: Sin City as we all united to form Voltron. It 39 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 4: happened at the Steakeout Bar and Grill. We talked a 40 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 4: lot about it in the lead up to this podcast. 41 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 4: I want to thank you for putting up with all 42 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 4: of that, and we were there. It was It was 43 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 4: a wonderful weekend. This is the official post game show 44 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 4: on the twenty twenty four Malor meet and greet. As 45 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 4: we had quite the crowd. We didn't know who was 46 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 4: going to show up. A lot of people had said 47 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 4: they were going to be there. People had sent me 48 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 4: the emails said Hey, I'm going to fly in from 49 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 4: so and so and Tim Buck too and Walla Walla, 50 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 4: Washington and all these other places. But ultimately most of 51 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 4: the people that said they were going to show up, 52 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 4: you know who you are who reached out to me, 53 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 4: you did, and so thank you. A tip of the 54 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 4: headphones to you. I appreciate it, appreciated, appreciate. We put 55 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 4: a bunch of photos up. Hopefully you saw those. I 56 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 4: posted a few on Sunday. I did not have as 57 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 4: many photos as I should have had. I was taking 58 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 4: a lot of pictures or whatever and hang out with 59 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 4: people fans of the show, but I wasn't like taking 60 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 4: photos with everyone. Bad job by me. But we had 61 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 4: a great time. Vegas was it was very cool. I 62 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 4: think it was one hundred and ninety degrees the days 63 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 4: we were there. I got in on Friday driving from 64 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 4: LA and we had a carpool situation through the desert. 65 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 4: The hottest point actually on the way to Vegas was 66 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 4: in Baker California, which is the appropriately named town where 67 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 4: it literally bakes. But got up early, did not get 68 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 4: a lot of sleep, just got in the car and 69 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 4: took off. Because the way this works, if you're not familiar, 70 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 4: if you're not in the area, to drive from La 71 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 4: to Vegas, it's like a suber right. 72 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: People do it all the time. 73 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 4: There's a bunch of little desert towns out in California 74 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 4: and in Nevada before you get to Vegas. The problem 75 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 4: is most people drive to Vegas. They don't fly there. 76 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 4: It's easier to drive. You have your car, although it's 77 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 4: more expensive now because you've got paper parking all over Vegas. 78 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 4: Because the mob that used to run Vegas would give 79 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 4: free parking and free meals. 80 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: They're not as generous anymore. So. 81 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 4: Nonetheless, you'd rather have your car and be able to 82 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 4: go where you want and all that stuff. 83 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: Most people choose to do that. 84 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 4: But if you don't get out before a certain hour, 85 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 4: if you don't get out of the La metropolitan area 86 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 4: before a certain hour, it is a nightmare. 87 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: Now. 88 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 4: Fortunately there were no trucks that tipped over with lithium 89 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 4: batteries in Barstow, which is about the midway point to Vegas, 90 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 4: as we did have that happen the week prior. We 91 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 4: talked about that a little bit on this podcast, that 92 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 4: there was an accident. I think we mentioned our old 93 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 4: radio friend Fox Sports Radio alumni member JT. The Brick 94 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 4: had some issues out there because the highway was completely 95 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 4: closed and so a bunch of people were staying at 96 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 4: hotels in the middle of the desert. So we didn't 97 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 4: have any of that, and it was rather smooth. There 98 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 4: was one patch of traffic which was in the Victorville 99 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 4: area in the California desert out there, but we dodged 100 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 4: that wasn't too bad, got in at a reasonable hour 101 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 4: into Vegas, and I did not stay at a hotel 102 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 4: this trip, did not no hotels, no resort fees of 103 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 4: a friend that lives in Henderson, which is a suburb 104 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 4: of Vegas, and we were able to stay at his 105 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 4: sister's place. She was out of town for work, so 106 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 4: we stayed there and had a great time. It was 107 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 4: a little warm, everywhere, a little hot, but we had 108 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 4: a great time. We made it work and went out 109 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 4: to my wife was with me and went to the 110 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 4: favorite in place we have in Vegas. Had some fetichini, alfredo, 111 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 4: a little chicken palm, and we're just living, living the life. 112 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 4: We actually went to a tiki bar again. The wife 113 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 4: wanted to go to a tiki bar, so we went 114 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 4: to a tiki bar and got the drink on. And 115 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 4: when you go to a tiki bar in Vegas, it's 116 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 4: quite the experience there because you get out of the sun. 117 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: It is boiling hot. It's like one hundred and eleven. 118 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 4: And then you go inside to complete in total darkness, 119 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 4: and it takes about ten minutes. It takes about ten 120 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 4: minutes for your eyes to adjust. It is it is agony, 121 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 4: is what it is until your eyes ad just you. 122 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 4: You're walking around, futzing around on my phone out with 123 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 4: my light on my phone, trying to see where there's 124 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 4: a step and all that and hanging out. And then 125 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 4: I got I was getting messages from random people, Hey 126 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 4: there's a there's a no not going on with I 127 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 4: ain't playing unless I get mine brawl that whole dope. 128 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 4: So then I flipped that on my phone and I'm 129 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 4: sitting in a tiki bar in Vegas drinking cocktails and 130 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 4: then we're watching the Giants Reds game on the TV. 131 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 4: Now of course, I was hoping that the Reds would 132 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 4: get a hit, but that did not happen, and so 133 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 4: the evil Higant's Blake Snell got a no hitter on 134 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 4: that Friday. But whatever, I didn't care. I didn't have 135 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 4: to do a monolog. We did talk about it a 136 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 4: little bit, if you remember. 137 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: The Sunday into Monday. 138 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 4: I brought the story back because it still had some 139 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 4: legs for our show. And this has been such a 140 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 4: storyline that we followed along, and so I bring it up. 141 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 4: So I did that, and then on Saturday it was 142 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 4: go time. 143 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: It was go time.

We went out and got the 149 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: oil change. Very exciting to sit in your car and 150 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 4: get the oil change. 151 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: There.

We had a lot 209 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 4: of people with listeners that came in from Knoxville, Tennessee, 210 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 4: since Cinnati the greater Cincinnati area.

But it 217 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 4: was great to see everybody at a wonderful time. Surfer 218 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 4: Todd the comedian was there with his wife, Surf for 219 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 4: Todd had a giant trophy the size of the theater. 220 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: There that rounded theater there in Vegas. 221 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 4: It was a massive and that was for the Malord 222 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 4: Paluza win as the joke writer of the Year and 223 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 4: they had these wild outfits on and as you would expect, 224 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 4: Surfer Todd the comedian putting on a show. So that 225 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 4: was awesome. My man JT, the wingman, he flew in 226 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 4: for the day, I guess the day before he flew in. 227 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 4: We flew from Knoxville, Tennessee, and JT has the current 228 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 4: record for most consecutive Mallor meet and greets, as he 229 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 4: was at the one we did in Minnesota at the Mermaid. 230 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: He's from that area. He moved to Knoxville. 231 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 4: And then a few months back we had a hybrid 232 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 4: Mallard meet and greet in Charleston and JT was there. 233 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 4: He lives in Knoxville, so he just drove over for 234 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 4: the day and hung out with us in all the 235 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 4: great listeners below the Mason Dixon line in Charleston. So 236 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 4: it was great to ce JT again. He's become a 237 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 4: regular now and I guess wherever we go. 238 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: He's gonna be there. Right if we could have one 239 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: of these in Abu Dabi and they'd be like, all right, 240 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: I'll be there. And it was. It was great. 241 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 4: And then we had a guy flew in from from well, 242 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 4: he flew in from Ohio, outside Cincinnati, and he was 243 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 4: grumbling that the airport in Cincinnati is in Kentucky, the 244 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 4: regional big airport there, which is of course. 245 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: We all know that. If anybody's flown into Cincinnati knows that. 246 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 4: And this is where the conversation would go back in 247 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 4: the day when I flew into Cincinnati for you know, 248 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 4: changing planes or whatever at the Cincinnati International Airport, which 249 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 4: is technically in Kentucky, and we would go back and 250 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 4: forth because that is to me, the point of where 251 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 4: the South begins. So I would say, well, Cincinnati is 252 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 4: a southern city. And then people from Cincinnati would spit 253 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,599 Speaker 4: Loogi's in my face and said, you don't know what 254 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 4: you're talking about, You're a dope. 255 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: You're a loser, and all that. 256 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 4: But it was it was KGB was there from the 257 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 4: Bay Area, who's who's a podcast listener now, and and 258 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 4: he was hanging out and it was. 259 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: Good to see him. 260 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 4: We had I didn't write down everyone's name, and I'm 261 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 4: really bad with names, so if I forget your name, 262 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 4: I apologize. We had several theme shirts from fans of 263 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 4: the show that had shirts made, which was great and 264 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 4: just just loved it.

His buddy 272 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 4: wore a Maland Militaire, which must have really annoyed Ralph. 273 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 4: It must have really annoyed Ralph, like what is up 274 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 4: with that?

He usually hides behind X or Twitter 282 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,119 Speaker 4: or whatever. But he called up and was really annoying 283 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 4: wreck at Ralph to the point where I think, I 284 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 4: think a holiday weekend if I remember, because Eddie wasn't 285 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 4: there and Ralph was doing the news updates and Ralph 286 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 4: stormed in from the other room in the old studio. 287 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 4: He walked out of his studio, he walked through this 288 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 4: giant bank vault door. 289 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: He made a right turn. 290 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 4: He then took a few steps, made a left turn 291 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 4: through another bank vault door, and then on a rampage. 292 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 4: He walks over to the producer's table where the phone 293 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 4: screener system is and is trying to hang up on 294 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 4: Justin and Cincinnati. However, for some reason, he just he 295 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 4: couldn't quite figure it out. He thought he had hung 296 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 4: up on him. So then he just starts trying to 297 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 4: hang up on everybody. He's going scorched earthier. He wants 298 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 4: no one online.

Supermarket 322 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 4: Steve has reached out to us on many a night 323 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 4: via social media or whatever, and he's given us content. 324 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 4: The thing that he's known for though, And I told him, 325 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 4: I said, listen, I traveled around, I've done these things 326 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 4: around the country. The thing people bring up is your advice, 327 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 4: your wisdom on how to properly handle the shopping cart 328 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 4: shopping cart etiquette, which I have followed. And Supermarket Steve, 329 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 4: he's the guy that came up with the planes, said 330 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 4: Listen Mallet. 331 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: He says, let me tell you something. 332 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 4: Okay, when you're at the grocery store, you don't put 333 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 4: the shopping cart back, because that's taking someone's job. And 334 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 4: so that launched what has been a multi year, multi 335 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 4: pronged campaign by the show to point out that when 336 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 4: you are putting shopping carts away when you go to 337 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 4: the grocery store, you're actually hurting the business of shopping 338 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 4: or you're you're taking someone's job away, as what I'm 339 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 4: trying to say, right, And so we did this. Of course, 340 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 4: people are very passionate about that. They're more passionate about 341 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 4: that my takes about the NBA or any along those lines. 342 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 4: And so, needless to say, it was quite the ordeal there. 343 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 4: But Supermarket seems like, Listen, there's all this stuff that 344 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 4: I've done here.

What else, Well, there were a 353 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 4: couple of other things I wanted to mention. We had Salsa, 354 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 4: the famous Salsa who's been a long time caller to 355 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 4: the show. 356 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: He works for the airlines. 357 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 4: He gives travel tips and whatnot from time to time, 358 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 4: and he asked Loraina for advice on relationships.

And 426 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 4: so they they they're telling me they had to bring 427 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 4: the they brought the kid home. It was barely over 428 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 4: the limit required you could take the kid home. And 429 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 4: I remember the story he was saying. They had to 430 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 4: feed the kid, their son every couple of hours. Otherwise 431 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 4: that's it, you know, I mean, you got to take 432 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 4: care of the kid. It's all over.

How great is that? Remember that 440 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 4: that story. We had a cab driver that came up 441 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 4: from Vegas.
