He's the last remnants 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.360 of the old republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:16.360 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.320 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:19.280 Wow. 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.000 The Clearinghouse of Hot. 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:23.160 Takes break free for something special. 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:29.320 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:36.840 In the a everywhere. It's the Fifth Hour with Ben 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:44.519 Mahler and Danny g Er Radio hanging out. We survived 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.560 our trip to the track. It's going on again today 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:51.080 though the Breeders cop the main event later today, Danny, 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.760 but I had a wonderful time. It was great to 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.760 see all the pretty people and also the ugly people 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.400 mixed together. But it was a lot of fun. What 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.760 a beautiful place, Santa ne it is. It's just awesome. 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.080 It's we're so lucky that we live here and it's 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.160 that's the local track. It's just awesome. 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.760 Yeah, it was my first time there, and I would 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.120 like to go back just to watch the horses run 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.920 sometime and bring the family there, especially Little CoA. Got 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:19.880 to start them early on betting on the horses. 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.160 Yeah, you gotta have them bet the trifecta and all that, 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.920 the find the daily double and and get the racing form, 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:31.600 the whole, the full, all inclusive racing experience, which means 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.360 you got to get up at the Kraka daon, you 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.679 got to go to the track when the horses are 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.520 like working out, they're exercising in the morning. There's the 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.840 smell of horse shit at manure and there's like really 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.960 wealthy billionaires on one side, and then there's people you 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.200 know making a peasants salary on the other. But they're 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.920 all there for the same the same mission, you know, 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.560 the same goal and all that. It's it's just an amazing, 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:59.720 amazing experience. And horse racing it's it's still a niche sport, 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.760 if you will, but I think it's designed. It's weird 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.600 how society has changed, but it's almost like it's becoming 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.400 more relevant because we have such short attention spans and 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:14.440 the way horse racing is designed, it's you know, sit around, 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.440 have some drinks, have some food, get a bed in, 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.359 and then the actual event itself is only a couple 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:20.880 of minutes. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:22.040 Yeah. 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:27.359 I watch I watch all the major runs, and you're right, 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.519 what's great about it is after it's over, you're like, oh, 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.800 look I got the entire rest of my day left. 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:34.720 You know what I used to do back in the day, 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:38.720 because years ago Premiere Networks, when we started Fox Sports Radio, 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:43.480 Premier Networks, which just runs Fox Sports Radio, iHeartMedia, they 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:48.240 had rights to the to the Kentucky Derby. Right, they 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:52.440 were the broadcaster and so they were the syndicator of 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.240 the Kentucky Derby. So I used to do this bit 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.280 of a year, we are going to play the entire 0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:01.680 Kentucky Derby unedited right now. Wait, it was like, you know, 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.920 a minute forty eight seconds or something, you know, some 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.160 ridiculous short amount of time, a couple of minutes at 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.359 the most, And it was always always a funny bit. 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:13.880 So on this the Saturday Pod, and don't forget Benny 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.919 Versus the Penny, we're on in La today and all 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:20.480 over the place reairings. But the LA Show probably already 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:24.040 happened depending on when you're downloading this. Six am the 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:28.079 first showing, and then the Lakers are playing the Orlando Magic, 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.480 so that means we're bumped to late night in La. 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:33.960 So eleven PM. 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.000 That's when I watch it every week. 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.760 Yeah, so we on eleven AM after or eleven pm. 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.840 Rather if the Lakers weren't playing, we'd have like probably 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.320 four other showings. But that's fine. 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:49.000 You're going to be the Laker post game party. 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:56.480 Yeah, of course. Anyway, on this the it we have 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.760 Rudolph the Red Nose gas bag, timber Danny, you have 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:01.680 a tale to tell? 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:06.200 Yes, as Eminem once saying, say goodbye, say goodbye to Hollywood. 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:11.600 Yeah, say goodbye the Hollywood, the glitz and glamour, show 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.560 business no more. But we start with this, So this 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:21.760 is a pod exclusive headline, Panic City. Is it true 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.760 that this week's episode of Benny Versus the Penny, still 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:29.200 airing today on regional cable distributed by NBC, was an 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:36.839 absolute roller coaster ride, white knuckle racist? How dare you. 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:38.480 Now? 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.400 As Paul Harvey used to say, you've heard the news, 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.320 but in a minute, you're about to hear the rest 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.240 of the story. So there once was a man named 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.359 Ben or Benny, wasn't Isn't that how most fairytale start? 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.960 Once there once was a man, or once upon a 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.920 time or something like that. Yeah, So I don't want 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.560 to talk to the third person. But they doing the 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:02.719 overnight show and trying to juggle everything. It's been very hectic, 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.800 very hectic. I love it. It's great. I like to work. 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.919 I'm working a lot, maybe more than I want to work. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:12.320 But anyway, So a few hours before the taping of 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:18.560 Benny Versus the Penny, I made the mistake of looking 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.000 in the mirror, which is never a good idea because 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.680 I'm ugly, it's never a good idea. What did I see? 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:24.920 Though? 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:29.120 This was different mirror, mirror on the wall. You are 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.760 the fairest of them all? What happened? So I look 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:39.040 at my reflection and then I looked away, and I 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.919 looked back, and there was something staring back at me 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.920 that I thought it was like out of a Christmas 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.600 movie or something like that. That was not Ebenezer Scrooge. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:54.599 It was not. It was rude ofph The red nose 0:05:54.680 --> 0:06:00.640 gas bag you see, the right side of my schnozola 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:07.800 was bright red. I am talking gigantic right like bright. 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:13.000 Oh my, I unbelievable. And so I'm like, what is that? 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.520 Maybe I'm seeing things, you know, But there was a 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:23.120 gigantic pimple that had popped up and I guess. I 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.360 was like kind of like, uh, I don't know, it 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.160 just like kind of rubbing the side of it by. 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:28.800 I didn't even realize I was doing it. You ever 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:29.680 done that where you're like. 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.240 Oh, in high school, we called that a runaway z it. 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. So I'm like worth doctor pimple Popper, 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:39.400 you know, I'm I'm freaking out. 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:40.880 I'm like, well, I got a TV show and a 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.279 few the grossest TV shows in the history of TV. 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.880 Oh yeah, it's it's the same that still honor. Did 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:49.520 they get rid of that? 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.160 I don't know. I hope they canceled it. 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.200 So I'm freaking out right. I looked to describe, because 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.919 we're on an audio platform, I look like Vaudevillian's star 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.000 actor W. SEA Fields near the end of his life, 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.520 if you know what he looks like. I thought, for 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.800 a second, I had rhino fema, which is like when 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.280 your nose like literally the growth of the nose where 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.960 it gets enlarged and red and there's like thick bumps 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.600 on it, you know, in my head, in my head, Nanny, 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.680 I was W. C. Fields. I had rhino fema. And 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.240 you know, if you dazzle, if you can't dazzle them 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.960 with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit or in this case, 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.400 a bright red nose. I'm like, well, it's not Christmas yet. 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.360 We were done with Halloween. Like, how am I going 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.400 to spin this? And so I'm on the internet. What 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:35.760 do I do? 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:36.000 Dan? 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:37.480 The first thing I do? I go on the web 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.680 how to cover up you know, a ZiT pimple thing 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.080 on your nose. I'm like, I'm looking at all this, like, 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.880 will it go down? Do I first thing? Of course, 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.000 I had to stop touching said nose. That was the 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:53.640 first thing. Fortunately I had purchased for the TV show 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:58.080 a bunch of makeup, so it did. The inflammation did 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:03.080 go down, and it was still slightly read by the 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.360 time I showed up to Universal Studios, so I was 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:10.040 still a little red. But I did apply makeup in 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:15.160 said bathroom, so hopefully, hopefully that did the trick. But 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.640 you'll have to tell if you've seen the show, let 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.280 me know if it looked like I had. Rudolph. 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.960 I can't wait to see it tonight. Yeah. 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.160 See, now that I pointed it out, you'll. 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:26.920 Yeah, that's all we're going to be looking at now. 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.119 I'm gonna be like, Babe, look look at the TV. 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:30.840 Look at Ben's nose, Look. 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.240 At how ugly Malari is today. Man, what the hell? 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:34.920 And I was like, what am I going to tell 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.120 the people at NBC. I'm like, well, you know, I 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.320 don't know what happened. I wonder what they would have 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:40.760 done if I couldn't cover it up. 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:41.679 I don't know. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:43.040 I have no idea. 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.320 This is like when ball players get hurt at home 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.120 and they have to admit to their team that they 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.280 got hurt at home, did something stupid. 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.120 Very embarrassing, very very embrassing. Problems you don't have to 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.160 worry about when you do the radio or podcasting. You 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.760 don't have to worry about that at all. And I 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.920 almost almost had I thought my head, Nanny, when I 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.000 saw my nose, I said, I gotta say goodbye to Hollywood. 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:06.079 That's what I thought. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:11.720 Yeah, this past week was really weird because as long 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.760 as I've been at the network, which is nine years now, 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:20.680 Ramos has always been a steady force. He's calm, he's 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.720 cool under pressure, He's always smiling. 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.080 Whenever I would work with him on the weekends. 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.040 He would fill in on the weekends sometimes, and it 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.080 was nice. It was refreshing to work with him, and 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.680 I would think to myself, Man, that would be cool 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:35.920 to work with him daily. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:37.880 Rewind to a. 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.960 Little bit over a year ago, and when Covino and 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:47.120 rich and I got promoted to afternoons, we knew, Oh, 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.280 it's gonna be Dan Bayer, it's gonna be Dan Byer, 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.800 and it's gonna be John Ramos. And that was really 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.120 exciting for me because back in the day talk about 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.719 full circle when I was working on a campus myself, 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.560 because that's where Ramos is going. He's going to go 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.800 work at the high school full time and coach girls 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:12.360 softball for South Pasadena High. I was doing sports, I 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:16.120 was coaching. I was teaching in a second grade classroom, 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:21.079 and then I would get out in the afternoon and 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.840 I would go make a food run before I would 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.120 have to come back to the campus to finish my work. 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:27.920 And what did I have in my car? 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:32.000 Am five seventy It was the J Moore Show, and 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.480 I got to hear Ramos play one hundred Drops in 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:40.160 an Hour and his really funny radio laugh. It was 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.679 a really good ensemble. It was fun to listen to 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.120 a lot of it didn't have to do with anything 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.080 with sports. But I liked that even back then it 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.360 was pop culture. It was Jay Moore just telling bad 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:56.320 jokes and just funny routines, funny callers and drops. I 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.480 love the show. I would listen to it almost every afternoon. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.520 Fast forward get to Fox Sports Radio and the very 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.920 first shift that I got to train on in December 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:11.720 of twenty fourteen was the Jay Moore Show. Besides Jay's 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:15.280 little dogs running around the studio, the one thing that 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.600 stood out to me was how nice Ramos was. 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.640 So he trained me on the board. Uh, he trained 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:22.160 me how to do. 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.280 The drops for Fox the way Fox liked him because 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.520 I was coming from NBC Sports Radio and it was 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.240 a really cool experience. And then of course I was 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:35.280 on your show to kick off my career here at FSR. 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:39.320 Bobo trained me on your show. Well, so go on 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.840 the radioeah. So that's how it all started for me 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.079 here at Fox Sports Radio. And so Ramos holds a 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.920 special place in my heart. They did a going away 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:54.280 party for him on Thursday night, and and it was 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.000 hard Ben Like I guess I saved my words for 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.280 on air. Several of our coworkers got up and made 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.960 little speeches but I couldn't help but think to myself. 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.320 As these speeches. 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.600 Were going and thousands of dollars of Buffalo wild wings 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:13.640 were being eaten, I was thinking to myself, why not 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:17.320 take all this money from all these drinks and wings, 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.480 give that to Ramos and say you're not going anywhere, dude. 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.840 Here's a little bonus. I'm gonna give you a little raise. 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.680 It's not how radio works, unfortunately, but if I was 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:33.520 in charge of things, if I ran broadcasting all across America, 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:38.280 I would give all broadcasters a big fat raise, and 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.320 I wouldn't let any of them go to any other 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:45.360 sideways jobs. So it bothers me personally because now I'm 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.520 gonna have to go through what you just went through, 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:52.040 which is a revolving door of technical producers, and no 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.480 one's really going to be able to replace Ramos. And 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.160 I've had some insomnia over it. Man, I'm not gonna lie. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:05.079 I think I might go on to Workmen's com Well. 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.240 Get the long term, get the long term. That's s 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.839 grit your teeth long term. But I love John. I've 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.360 known John many years. I knew him before Fox Sports Radio, 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.760 and so we were very excited when John came to 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.200 Fox Sports Radio because it has proven guy in the 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.000 LA market, and it's hard to find people it is 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.760 you reference Danny that are positive. You know, there's a 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.480 lot of grumpy people just general. But in radio, there's 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.920 a lot of woe is meism? You know, why am 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:34.800 I not getting this? That and the other thing? 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.000 Yeah, a bunch of moaning and groaning, as my grandpa 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:42.400 used to say, Yeah, and they're damned winding in your 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.719 moaning and groaning exactly. 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.080 And to be fair, I was like that when I 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.200 was younger. But there's just a lot of people that 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:50.840 are just like, oh, this sucks. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:51.120 You know. 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.960 It's there are much worse problems to have, much worse 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.559 problems to have. We have one of the great jobs. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.240 Even if you're not happy with what time you're working 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.360 or how much money you're making. Could always be worse, 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.920 could always be worse. But I you know, I'm disappointed 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.040 John's leaving. I feel, you know, he's a old school 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.400 radio guy from the old countries. I sent out on 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.800 on social media this week. He's an artistan and just 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.880 a positive guy. And as we talked about Danny, there's 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.400 not many of that those type of people left in 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:28.680 the business. Unfortunately, it's changed a lot. The old timers 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:33.600 are either leaving for other jobs or dying off, and 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.400 so it's just not Yeah, it's a tough one. And 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.560 also a lot of people don't want to, as you said, 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.320 pay the dues, work on holidays and all that. They don't. 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.600 I don't want you want me to work on a holiday. 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.280 What's wrong with you? But he was like, well, yeah, 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.720 we're the shops open twenty four hours a day. We 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.440 don't close. The business is open. There's customers that will 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.200 be in the store. There's actually a lot of people 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.720 that are lonely over the holidays. I always try to 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.080 work most of the holidays because there's people lonely. They 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.160 want to want to I have a friend, somebody to 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.720 hang out with on the radio, you know, and know 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:08.080 that some other person's alive and talking and jop in 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.560 and all that. But you know, so good luck to John. 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:12.320 Screw that guy. 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.920 When everybody was saying congratulations, I was like, fuck you. 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.760 Good luck. I'm sure it'll only take about eight or 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.120 nine months for you to figure out who's replacing John. 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.680 So I'm sure that will be a very get here. 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.160 So you're saying it will be resolved shortly and I'll 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.720 know who my technical producer is within the next two weeks. 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.000 I'm not complaining. But every night I would go in 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.560 after Roberto left, there was somebody different running the running 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.720 the equipment, so I was like, who's in tonight? I 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:45.440 don't know third base the deal on this, and I 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:47.160 deal with it all the time. I had people. I 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:48.960 had a guy I won't say his name, but there 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.640 was a guy that said he used to listen growing 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.880 up to the show, and then I asked him five 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:59.320 questions about the show, like trivia. I went for fun 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.800 low for five A big fan of the show, listened 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:04.720 all the time, all the time. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.400 He didn't even get one right, not one. 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.800 And if you're going to like, if you're gonna lie, 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.600 you gotta be able to back up the lie. Yeah 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.240 you can even back the lie. I mean, what was that? 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:18.880 How can you back up the lie if you're lying? 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.480 It's a fair point. That's a fair point. But yeah, 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:22.960 you got to be able at least to kind of 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:28.160 ance around a little bit. It's not good. So timber O, 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:33.080 our headline now comes from the holiday hodown. Did you 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:34.520 attend any Halloween parties? 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:34.800 This year. 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.280 Da, Well, you got a young young child's probably not right, 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:37.800 Probably not. 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.760 Halloween's not really my jam. Anyways, I got you so well. 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.480 The wife loves Halloween and it's a big holiday for her. 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.640 She's she likes to plan parties. We didn't have a 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.000 party this year for Halloween at our our Mallard mansion. 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:57.040 The hostess with the mostest spent weeks though planning with 0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.840 a couple of her friends from work, this big gala 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:05.359 Halloween celebration. And of course we had to get couples costumes, 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.359 very important. A lot of time invested on how to 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.840 get a couples costumes and what to be, and so 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:15.600 we did some cosplay. I got to play a role 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:19.560 that I'll probably end up playing at some point. Costco 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:20.840 sample server. 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.920 I saw this picture, so. 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.120 I just I had the full Costco merch. I had 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.679 the hat Costco. I had the red hat Costco, I 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:34.240 had the apron, and I even had a red tray. 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.040 We went all out. We got a red tray and 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.920 I'm ready. I'm like, here we go. I even made 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.040 I'm giving out the samples at the party. So I 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:47.359 made bakery style chocolate chip cookies, homemade piping hot fresh 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.160 out of the oven, and I made them. I was cooking. 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.200 I was baking them a couple hours before the party 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.440 because I wanted them, you know, fresh and just wonderful. 0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.240 So we're getting ready, we're all getting geared up. I 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:01.840 then and I decided I need to take a nap 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:03.160 because it's a party and I want to be able 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:04.520 to stay up. And I was tired and all that, 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:08.080 and I was ready for the samplehors at the party. 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:13.240 Then right at the eleventh hour and the fifty ninth 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:22.000 minute and the fifty ninth second, chaoed body blow, body blow, timber, 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:26.359 all dressed up with nowhere to go. You see, the 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:31.119 wife got a phone call from the person whose house 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:35.480 was the home to the party, and her husband had 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:41.920 been standing on a ladder and timber, poor gentleman fell down. 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:46.160 Oh no, needed an ambulance. He had hit his head. 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.439 He also broke his wrist, and he went to the 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.879 emergency room and was in the concussion protocol. 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:58.359 And yeah, so you're saying that's Halloween. He went as 0:18:58.480 --> 0:18:59.399 Ryan Tannehill. 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:05.840 Oh, oh, yeah, that was. He was in the emergency 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.240 room till three in the morning, good afternoon, good evening, 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.280 and good night. So we felt awkward having a party 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:12.920 because we didn't know at the time whether or not 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:14.520 he was going to be all right and what was 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:18.600 going on, and it was his house and so checkmate, 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:22.720 the wife does love Halloween, but we had no party. 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:24.480 We were all dressed up. She was really bummed out. 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.840 So what do you think I did, Danny to make 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:27.520 her feel better? 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.639 You took her to a local disco tech. 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:38.760 Kind of. I dusted off the cobwebs from my wallet, 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:40.920 and uh had I knew that was going to cost 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:42.560 me a lot for like a nice meal, so we 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.159 had to go to like a like a really nice restaurant. 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.159 So it cost me half load of bundy. But that's fine, 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:50.880 that's all right. But she wasn't a better mood after 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:51.560 after that. 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:53.040 So that's good. 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.520 Is it bad that I feel like I can get 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.439 really good food at like a like a mom and 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:01.760 pop dive place as opposed to like the high end places. 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:03.080 Does that make me a bad person? 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:03.640 I don't know. 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:08.240 I'm usually hungry after we leave an upscale or fancy 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.480 or type restaurant. The flavors are really good, but you 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:15.240 usually leave hungry, especially when it's tushi or something like that. 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.720 And then you wind up wanting to go through a 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:20.399 drive through or something. A few hours later. 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.359 Making a late night munchie, running Jack in a box 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.800 or something. You're like, I need a MUNCHI box? Can 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:26.240 I get that? 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:27.040 Anyway? 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:30.439 So that was That was the Halloween festivities and we 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:34.159 had trick or treaters, not many, not many. I was 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:36.119 on Halloween duty. That was a pain in the behind 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.119 because I was putting the monologues together and I like 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:42.199 to have laser like focus and no distractions, you know, 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:44.720 because I'm trying to lock in on what I think 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:47.600 is interesting, what I want to talk about, and you know, 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.520 every five to ten minutes. We didn't get that many 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.320 tricker treaters, but they were sporadic and they were like 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:56.200 every five or ten minutes for like a couple hours. 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.840 So did you have any neighborhood hooligans throwing? 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.080 No? I don't not that I noticed that. I don't think. 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.680 So did you did you have that? Uh? No, that's good. 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:12.399 No, we're not an exciting neighborhood. What the hell? It's not? Well? 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.600 Really quick though, bit I had somebody that said they 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:17.399 were going to call the police on our daughter. 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:19.159
