We got a lot 47 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: of stuff on this podcast, but I wanted to start 48 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: with this. Dan. We'll get right into it. Okay, No, Dillydelling. 49 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: So this is behind the scenes, behind the microphones, if 50 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: you will, behind the microphones of Fox Sports. 51 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 3: Radio, and. 52 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: I wanted to so this week I had On Monday, 53 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: I was given a gag order. I woke up in 54 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: the middle of my night. Now for most people this 55 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: would be a normal hour, but because of my hours 56 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: with the radio show, I sleep during the day. Now 57 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: I have changed my schedule a little bit. I don't 58 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: stay up quite as late as I did during football season. 59 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: I've been trying to go to bed earlier and get 60 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: more quality, more quality rest. But I was contacted by 61 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 1: someone of pretty high power in the media business who 62 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: who wanted to have a phone meeting with multiple people, 63 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: and it had to be These are people that are 64 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: on the East Coast and so they it has to 65 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: be at this time. So I went on there and 66 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: we had about an hour meeting on the phone. But 67 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: I have been told I am not allowed to discuss 68 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: said meeting. The gag order is in place, So fingers 69 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: crossed that I will be able to talk about that 70 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: at some point. But as you know, Danny, over the years, 71 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: we have had many I've had many meetings with powerful 72 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: people in media and almost never does it work. It 73 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: did work last year, there was we got a TV 74 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: show last year, so hopefully it'll be something bruined. I 75 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: can't say what it is about, but. 76 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: I'm guessing it's going to be the mail back on TV. 77 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 3: But Looney's gonna replace me. 78 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: Well, we've already done that. I think Coop will be 79 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: in for you, but I don't know, but he's I 80 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: think he might just move to Japan after this. So 81 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: I have the gag order. I wanted to I wanted 82 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: to share that the gag order is not about anything 83 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: to do with the Music City though, Danny. It does 84 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: not evolve anything in the Music City, so we don't 85 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: have to worry about that. 86 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I'm going to text you right now. 87 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 3: I just called up my pictures. This is the this 88 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 3: is the hotel room I walked into at the Graduate. 89 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 3: All right, let me let me do this.

We walk into our hotel rooms at 94 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 3: the Graduate, and the way the commercials read on the air, 95 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 3: it is truly like that in real life. I mean, 96 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 3: these hotels are decked out with sports memorabilia and then 97 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 3: memorabilia that represents their city. So obviously, with it being Nashville, 98 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 3: you could imagine all the Neon signs and Dolly Parton 99 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 3: portraits everywhere and above each bed that I saw her boobs. 100 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 3: Now I'm a believer.

Paul Rudd, Yeah, old, he's 169 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 3: fifty four. 170 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: Michael B. 171 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: Jordan all right, he's a little younger in twenty twenty, 172 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 3: but he's in his thirties now. 173 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, but he doesn't, like, you know, you know, look 174 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: like Brad Pitt. 175 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 3: You say, there's no modern reference that matches how we 176 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 3: used Brad Pitt for a couple of decades. 177 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: Even Chris Evans, like, you can't really like, you know, 178 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: it's such a generic I know it's Captain America, but 179 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: it's a generic name. 180 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 3: Let's say you were Michael B. Jordan, maybe the girls 181 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: would entertain you and let you into that little bridal group. 182 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 3: But you know, the girl who's getting married, who has 183 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: the sachet and the little princess thing on her head 184 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 3: and all that, she's not gonna cheat on her two 185 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 3: be husband unless the guy is a hundred times better 186 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: looking than her husband. So you're right about that. There 187 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 3: was a force field around those group of girls. That 188 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 3: was the first takeaway I had. Then, when we get 189 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 3: out to the streets, not only was the SEC tournament 190 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 3: causing a lot of traffic, but there were obviously people 191 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 3: partying and drinking. And it's just you know, they call 192 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 3: it Vegas of the South. It's a huge party there. 193 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 3: The food is delicious, the people are nice, it is overcrowded. 194 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 3: It does get kind of dirty, just like the streets 195 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,119 Speaker 3: of Vegas. We eat early dinner after the live broadcast, 196 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: and I'm just tired. I had produced our podcast, then 197 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 3: I produced their live show. We had been on the 198 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 3: plane for four hours, we had been at the airport 199 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 3: for three hours. It was a long day as they 200 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 3: were with some hardcore Covino and rich listeners, planning to 201 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 3: go to the Jason Al Dean Bar and all these 202 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 3: different tourist spots. I checked out. I raised my hand, 203 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 3: I asked for my check, gave the guy a nice tip, 204 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 3: told the waiter, yeah, I'm sorry, I just can't make 205 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 3: it as long as the rest of our group here 206 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 3: before I get back to the graduate though, Ben, I'm 207 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 3: now walking on these famous streets next to Broadway. Then 208 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 3: I get on Broadway to get my lift, and I 209 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 3: noticed something on Broadway which I feel like, this is 210 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 3: only a Nashville thing, because here on the West coast, 211 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 3: what is it about even a strip of nightclubs. It's 212 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 3: like VIP. There's security guys in front. The doors are closed, right, 213 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 3: it's kind of like you're important. If you can get inside. 214 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 3: You might hear the music thumping, like some bass or whatever, 215 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 3: but you don't exactly hear everything that's going on inside 216 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 3: the club. Yeah, for sure, not in Nashville. 217 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: Wide open. 218 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 3: All the doors are open, the windows are open. 219 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: You've got a vantage point. You see everything you can see. 220 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 3: But here's the bad part. You can hear everything out 221 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 3: of every single place. So it sounds like you have 222 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 3: taken some mushrooms with Aaron Rodgers. Relax because it is 223 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 3: this mishmash of all these beats and people singing and 224 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 3: karaoke and DJ's mixing and live bands. It it is 225 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 3: just a wreck. I mean, I felt drunk and I 226 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 3: hadn't had one drink, so up in booze and a lettice. 227 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 3: It's just soaking it all in, right, I mean, yeah, 228 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 3: it made me dizzy. 229 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. So I've not spent any real time in Nashville, 230 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: so I have not experienced that. I have friends, radio 231 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: friends that live in in Nashville, and I know our 232 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: guy Clay Is, he's you know, that's his town, right, 233 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: he runs, he runs Nashville, right, that's. 234 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be a governor someday. 235 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. I wouldn't doubt it. I wouldn't doubt it.

Like That's 239 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: why I'm kind of pulling for Steve Garvey because I 240 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: knew Garvy. I used to interview him all the time, 241 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: and that he's he's going to have a chance to 242 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: get to d C out of California. It's kind of cool. 243 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: And wanted to meet any president. Never met a president, 244 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff.

He's like, yeah, yeah, 334 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: this is a rash of fires in Sherman Oaks, that 335 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: there's some vagrants going around lighting stuff on fire. So 336 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: all right whatever. I was like, Oh, that sucks, you know. 337 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,239 Speaker 1: So then I get in the car. I'm driving to 338 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: the radio station. I get off the one oh one 339 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: freeway there at Ventura and I turn turned the corner 340 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: there and go down and uh, and I see this 341 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: sea of fire trucks like not one not to not 342 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: There's like eight fire trucks right in front of the 343 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: Fox Sports radio building. Oh what's this? So I get 344 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: closer and then I realized that they were actually mostly 345 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: for across the street. Somebody had lit a fire right 346 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 1: across the street. So it was like they're indipity on 347 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: fire right across the street. Somebody had lit like I 348 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,239 Speaker 1: don't know if it was a dumpster or like a 349 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: small building behind the building. There's a restaurant a bar 350 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: right across the street from where we do the show 351 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: from and behind that there was this thing on fire, 352 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: and I could see, like they don't mess around the 353 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: fire department. They had like every fire truck within a couple, 354 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of cities. It seemed like was 355 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: right there to put that fire out. It was wild. 356 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 2: Man. 357 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,479 Speaker 1: I was like, wow, that is that is crazy that 358 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: the guy would send me the story and within a 359 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: couple hours, I'm going to work and I see something 360 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: immediately on fire, like right across, right across the way. 361 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 3: So that was my That reminds me of the time 362 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 3: the fire alarm system came on while we were live 363 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 3: on your show. 364 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's happened. My favorite is the 365 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: skunk though. I liked that where the skunk. The skunk 366 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: gets in the air conditioning and then the whole building 367 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: smells like skunk and it's just you can't breath because 368 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: there's no windows. 369 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 3: And I was used to that smell sitting next to 370 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 3: Koop every night. Well, I understand, smoke is kind of 371 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 3: your whole thing. 372 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: The the fire alarm where we had to do the 373 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: show and there was. 374 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 3: That was going on to drop. 375 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: That's what it sounded like. Yeah, you can't leave your 376 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: battle station, you know you can't. You got to man 377 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: your battle station, Danny. We learned that you can't crawl out. 378 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: You gotta stay there. 379 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 3: It was very Battlestar Galactica, like. 380 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was bizarre. Now, I would like 381 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: to see if anyone listening, that would be you listening 382 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: to this podcast, if you can help us out. So 383 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: during the week, the Dodgers released a statement about old Tani. 384 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: We talked about Otani yesterday on the podcast a bit, 385 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: and the the statement was your standard boiler plate statement. 386 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: And I was trying to find out who originally came 387 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: up with a statement, and it's one of these things 388 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: I used to know. It's a holding we'll call it 389 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: the holding pattern. But it's a holding statement. And the 390 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: whole point of a holding statement is to keep the 391 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: media at bay, to keep them on hold if there's 392 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: a scandal. Every major corporation uses a version of the 393 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: same holding statement when there's a scandal and it goes 394 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: something like this, it's typical pr spin. It is we 395 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: are aware of the situation, we are in the process 396 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: of gaining information, it would be inappropriate to comment further 397 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: at this time, or it is an ongoing police investigation, 398 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: so we cannot comment further at this time. But some 399 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: version of that and so I had known. In fact, 400 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: I think we talked about it on this podcast years ago, 401 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: and in the back of my head it was like 402 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: somebody from Pennsylvania, but I didn't write it down and 403 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: it escaped the back of my brain, and so I 404 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: spent probably two hours googling different things trying to find 405 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,479 Speaker 1: the original person that came up with that statement, because 406 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: whoever that person is, that is going to be with 407 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: major businesses for the rest of the world crisis spin 408 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: the greatest holding statement ever, which is, you know, we 409 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: are aware of the allegations and are currently gathering information, 410 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: but it would be inappropriate to comment further. At this time, 411 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: we have no further comment. I want to know who 412 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: came up with that, and if you know, let me know. 413 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: Email me Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. Real 414 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: fifth hour at gmail dot com because I can't I 415 00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: can't find it. I tried, and I swear it was 416 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: a I want to say, a professor or something like that, 417 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: somebody some ties to Pennsylvania, as I remember. Maybe I'm 418 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: completely wrong and I remembered it wrong, but I feel 419 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: like it came from somebody in the state of Pennsylvania. 420 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: So if you could help me out on that that 421 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: would be great. We have the phrase of the week. 422 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 3: The phrase of the week. 423 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: The phrase of the week is gaslight. Now, this is 424 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: a term that I use quite a bit on the 425 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: radio show. And the reason I use the term gaslight 426 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: quite a bit is because it happens all the time. 427 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: It happens all the time. And I know, Danny, you 428 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: know what gaslighting is. It's a form of psychological manipulation. 429 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 3: Yep. 430 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: And politicians and people in sports do this all the time, 431 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: where you do something and then claim the opposite happened. 432 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: You do something, No, I didn't do that. I don't 433 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. I didn't do that, and 434 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: then the person that's consuming the content they start questioning 435 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: their own memory and the perception of what happened. Eventually 436 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: you start questioning your sanity. And it's gaslighting. That's the term. 437 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: But the term which is our phrase of the week, gaslight, 438 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: It actually comes from Hollywood and it goes all the 439 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: way back to the nineteen forties. Nineteen forty four, there 440 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: was a film called Gaslight. The film was set in 441 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: Victorian times when gaslighting, of course, that was what was 442 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: before electric lighting was in common use. And one of 443 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: the leads in the movie is the Harris of a 444 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: famous opera singer and was going to receive her inheritance, 445 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: but she ends up getting caught in this romance and 446 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: married to an aspiring composer, and the story goes on 447 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: and on, and she's doing things she forgets and seeing 448 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: things that aren't real. And so that was the movie. 449 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: It's like, okay, fine, whatever. But over time that term 450 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: got dragged in to politics and got twisted around to 451 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: what it is today, the modern definition, which is a 452 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: play on that movie Gaslight from nineteen forty four. The 453 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: title of the film became a term for tricking someone 454 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: into thinking that they're crazy, and so it's dismissing or 455 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: discrediting your perception of reality, and usually with a suggestion 456 00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: of malice attached to said action. So that is the 457 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: phrase of the week, the phrase of the week, gaslighting. 458 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know who does that all the time? Our 459 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 3: middle kid. He'll say to me and my girl, you 460 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 3: guys are eating dinner without me. In a half hour earlier, 461 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 3: he literally told us he didn't want to eat with us. 462 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: Well, at the time he didn't want eat, but once 463 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: he saw what you guys were eating. 464 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 3: No, but he's just doing it to mess with us. Yeah, 465 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 3: he's gaslighting us. 466 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Oh I wanted to mention this. 467 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: I did talk about this a little bit on the 468 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: Overnight Show, but I wanted to go into some more detail. 469 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: This being the pod, we kept tell these stories behind 470 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: the microphone and whatnot. It's become a staple of the show. 471 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: And we had another week of Big Bend's Big adventures. 472 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: And as Paul Harvey used to say, you know the news, 473 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: but you're about to get the rest of the story, 474 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: so real quick. This guy who's a p one who 475 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: lives in North Carolina. He goes by the Moniker Speccoli, 476 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: very kind gentleman, very kind gentleman. He's from Wisconsin, but 477 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: he lives in North Carolina. And he is someone that 478 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: appreciates the art of the spoken words, a big radio fan, 479 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: and he likes spoken word radio done right. And so 480 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: he actually dropped by the studio. We told the story. 481 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: He dropped by the studio several months ago, and he 482 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: looked up, he did some opposition research. He found this 483 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: really nice donut shop, this high end donut shop in 484 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: la and he bought a box of these really nice 485 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: donuts designer donuts, and then he got to the radio 486 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: station to hang out with us, and Kooper Loop and 487 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: Iowa Sam were so paranoid they didn't want him in 488 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: the studio. They're like, oh, oh, we don't want this kid. 489 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: So he ended up waiting outside for forty minutes on 490 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: a cold night, California, cold night, and then eventually they 491 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: let him in and they thought he was fine, he 492 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: was a good guy and all that, and it was 493 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: ridiculous anyway advancing the story. So that's the backstory. So 494 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: we'll call him Spacoli. And he reached out. He sent 495 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: me an email. He says, listen, I'm sending you something. 496 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: It's time sensitive. I need you to get this out 497 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: of the mail. You have to do this for me. 498 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: And I was like, okay. You know, normally I'll just 499 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: send Coop to go get something, and if it's food, 500 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: he'll definitely get it. He'll definitely, he'll definitely go get it. 501 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: But Coop's not there. He's on his honeymoon in Japan, 502 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 1: and so we had Shae producing, and Shaye doesn't really 503 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: know where where the mailroom is, and so I really 504 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: couldn't send him. I don't even think he has access 505 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: to that part of the building, and so I was 506 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: on my own. So I got there early, as I 507 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: usually do, and I'm walking around the fifth floor of 508 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: the Premiere Networks and it it took me about thirty minutes. 509 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: I was wandering. There's so I don't know if you've 510 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: been up there recently, Danny. There's so many empty offices. 511 00:27:58,520 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 3: It's a ghost town. 512 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: It'sgot ship it's so depressing. It reminded me of when 513 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: I was at that mall in prim, Nevada, right on 514 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: the California Nevada border that used to be this great 515 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 1: mall with all these wonderful outlet stores and there were 516 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: kids playing and families having a great time and people 517 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: shopping and living their lives. And I went there after 518 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: COVID and there's like two stores left and it's completely 519 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: boarded up and just brutal, just absolutely brutal. And I'm 520 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 1: like walking around and a lot of these people are 521 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: still working at the company, they're working from home. So 522 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: I'm walking. I could not. 523 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 3: I went. 524 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: I went to where the old mail room was. I 525 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: couldn't find it. So then I was like, Okay, let 526 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: me the mailroom is probably where it used to be 527 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: before they moved it to this other place. So then 528 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: I couldn't get over there because they closed off that 529 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: side of the building for some I guess that's they 530 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: didn't they're not paying for it, so it's somebody else. 531 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. So I walking around and it's like 532 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: twenty eight minutes of been going by. I'm like, what 533 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: am I doing? I finally sees the first person I've 534 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: seen other I'm the only one on the floor. I 535 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: didn't see anybody. So this guy walks down from the 536 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: we call it the Knock, the network operations control center, 537 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: and he's walking by. I say, hey, let's go on. Now, 538 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: you know where the mailroom is? And he shrugs his shoulders, Danny, 539 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. And he's like, well, I think they 540 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,479 Speaker 1: put the mail near the door, and he points behind me. Well, 541 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: I've already walked by there four times. There's no mail there. 542 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: So I said, all right, thank you. So right about 543 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: the time that ends, this guy pops out of an office. 544 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: Are you looking? Are you what you're looking for? The 545 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: mail room? Yes, yes, I'm looking for the mailroom. Are 546 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: you sending or are you picking up mail? And it 547 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: was the Great George Nori, the host of Coast to 548 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: Coast Good morning, and we've had George on this podcast 549 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: in Yeah.

He probably was as shocked as I was 552 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: to see another human being on that floor and just like, well, 553 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: you said, I'm like, well, why were in my head? 554 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, why am I going to send something? 555 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 2: You know? 556 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: This time?
