He's the last remnants 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: Wow. 8 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 9 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the. 10 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 3: Air everywhere, and a happy Friday to you as we 11 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 3: are recording this podcast in real time early on Friday, 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 3: the fifteenth day of December, Ben Mallor and Danny g 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 3: Radio because five. 14 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: Overnights are not enough. As we are here every Friday, 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday original audio content. You have to follow 16 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: the podcast. I assume you're already following because you're listening, 17 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: but we are available all weekend long here with new 18 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: podcasts and Danny. Have you recovered from the Raiders scoring 19 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 1: over sixty points in an NFL game? A Raider team 20 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: that has been unable to cross twenty most games putting 21 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: up sixty three points. That was absolutely bonkers on Thursday 22 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: night football. 23 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 4: It's not often that I'm comfortable during a Raiders game, 24 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 4: usually I'm biting my nails, I'm pacing. I usually can 25 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 4: just have the game on my iPad as I'm finishing 26 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 4: up at work and just have it on in the background. 27 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 4: In this case, they scored so much that it interrupted 28 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 4: me working on the podcast, so I got home late. 29 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 4: I just hope they saved some points for next week 30 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 4: at the Chiefs. 31 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: Well, the key to this, if you want to score, 32 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: is to have the other team just hand you the 33 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: ball via door dash and just drop it off at 34 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: your front door. So it was very kind of the 35 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: Chargers who played. And I said this on the Overnight 36 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: Show as I it reminds me of when I covered 37 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: the Clippers in the nineties and every once in a 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: while they you know, they passed through a lot of coaches, 39 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: and sometimes the players just revolted on the coach and 40 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: decided they were not going to play, and then they wouldn't, 41 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: they wouldn't, and they would get the coach fired. Usually 42 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: it took more than one game. But in the NFL, 43 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: it's not like Brandon Staley, the coach of the Chargers, 44 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: was you know, was locked into the job. 45 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 4: It reminds me of when Josh McDaniels would speak like, 46 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 4: get this guy out of here. He was the coach 47 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 4: of my favorite team and I didn't like him. So 48 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 4: I can't imagine what Charger fans, the few we know 49 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 4: must think about all this. But blessing in disguise. Right 50 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 4: as we're recording this, he's not fired yet, but that 51 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 4: probably will be coming in an hour or two, I'm guessing. 52 00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 5: Yeah. 53 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: I mean, the story is he's the ownership group has 54 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: called Stalyan for a meeting, so that's generally a bad sign. 55 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: That doesn't Yeah, that doesn't seem like a great time. 56 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, we're doing this on early Friday morning, 57 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: and the plan is they will they will get together. 58 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta fire the coach. You have to 59 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: fire the coach you fire. 60 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 4: This is the fifth year in a row that they 61 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 4: have gone under their expected win total, which was nine 62 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 4: and a half this year, by the way, and they 63 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 4: are standing at five games. Pretty crazy when you look 64 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 4: at that stat. They're always a paper tiger. They always 65 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 4: blame it on injuries. They always have quote unquote bad 66 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 4: luck with close games. When do you just say that 67 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 4: they're a piece of crap team in the NFL messed 68 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 4: up by putting them in LA Well, yeah, I. 69 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: Mean that's it has not gone like they expect. There 70 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: are a bunch of people, though, I go to these 71 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: Charger games sometimes and there are a bunch of people 72 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: that work for the Chargers on game day that still 73 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: drive up from San Diego. It's an odd it's an 74 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: odd thing. But the fans, the actual fans of the 75 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: old San Diego Chargers, not a lot of them making 76 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: the drive from San Diego up I five and crossing 77 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: over the four or five there in the hood in Inglewood. 78 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a that's a bad I mean, the 79 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: Vegas odds makers that set the point the total for wins, 80 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they're pretty spot on right. If you're you're 81 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: underachieving if you don't get to that level once in 82 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: five years. And the Chargers have not hit on all 83 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: cylinders since what Ladanian Tomlinson was playing for them. 84 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 4: Is that? 85 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: Am I going back far enough? No? 86 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 5: You're right. 87 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 4: I have nightmares about that dude running in touchdowns and 88 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 4: throwing in touchdowns against my favorite team. You're right, that's 89 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 4: when the Chargers were a threat to beat any team. Now, 90 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 4: who would have thought, especially at the start, of the 91 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 4: season because we always hear quote unquote experts picking them 92 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: to go all the way or making it deep into 93 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 4: the playoffs, and they always wind up wedding the bed. 94 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: It'll happen again. Brandon Staley is not going to be 95 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: coaching next year. The Spanos family will will have to 96 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: get rid of him, and then they'll hire some whether 97 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: it's Belichick or some other hot shot coach, and the 98 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: media is going to hype up the Chargers. All they 99 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: did I had to do was get rid of Brandon 100 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: Staley and now it's gonna be sunshine, rainbows and lollipops. 101 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: And just like last year, Justin Fields won MVP of 102 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: the offseason, and they didn't make a coaching change, but 103 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: they made a couple of roster moves right They added 104 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: a wide receiver, they made some other moves, and we 105 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: were all excited and saw how that worked out. 106 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 4: And by the way, congrats to Antonio Pierce. You and 107 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 4: I both called it. If he could get some wins 108 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 4: under his belt, he would have a really good shot 109 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 4: at getting the job. Based on the way Mark Davis 110 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 4: was making those facial expressions last night, I don't see 111 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 4: how he can't give Harris a long term contract. 112 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the Gruden rumors are still out there though, 113 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: that he might come. 114 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 5: Through, that that ship has sailed. 115 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: Look at you, you're all in. 116 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 5: But I was before this game. I mean, I liked 117 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 5: what I saw. 118 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 4: I know it was two New York teams that they 119 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 4: beat up on, but I just like, I like his swag. 120 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 4: The moment he was on the sideline as the leader 121 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 4: of the team, it just looked right and it felt right. 122 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: We're doing a sporty podcast, you know we're doing. 123 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 5: I know I like it doing sporty. We better transition 124 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 5: before half our audience. 125 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: I know people don't tune in for sporty. They don't 126 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: want that. They want to hear nonsense. But yeah, I'm 127 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: pulling for Antonio Pierce because, as as I told you, 128 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: I one of my buddies from from high school. His 129 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: sister is very good friends with Antonio Pearce has known 130 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: him since he was coaching in high school. And possibly 131 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: if he gets the Raider job, she might end up 132 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: moving moving to Vegas so and working for the Raiders, 133 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: which would be which be cook. I think then I 134 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: might be able to get the tickets or something, you know, 135 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: and then then you can go. We'll go together. Anyway. 136 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: We have eat, drink and be merry, Unappreciated comedy and 137 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: dream Weaver and we'll get to all that. We also 138 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: have the Word of the Week. So it's a jam 139 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: packed pod and we just started with about seven or 140 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: eight minutes of hot sports talk. So anyway, yeah, Joe, 141 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: I mean that Raider game was so crazy. I'm like, 142 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: I'm watching it. You know, these games Thursday night Football, 143 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: coming on after the game doing the over reread show, 144 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, these games are usually terrible, and that 145 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: game was supposed to be bad. 146 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 4: Rich Davis told us on the afternoon show to take 147 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 4: the under neither team would score twenty. I try to 148 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 4: tell him what the game meant for Antonio Pears, and 149 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 4: he brushed me off. This was a game I was told, 150 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 4: don't even bother to watch it. And then they score 151 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 4: a franchise record, and I mean, they broke all kinds 152 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 4: of records last night. 153 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 5: It was insane. 154 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 4: And that Jack Jones interception, it was a throwaway. The 155 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 4: Patriots kicked him off their team, and that was the 156 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 4: most athletic defensive move I've seen all season on the 157 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 4: Raider team. And their defense has been pretty decent. I 158 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 4: had to keep watching that back. I think it was 159 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 4: underappreciated because of what happened with everything else. That one 160 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 4: handed grab as he was floating in the other direction. 161 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 4: That was like some mentalist shit in Vegas. That was 162 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 4: so awesome. 163 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you wonder why more defensive backs can't make 164 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: that because he just he read the play, he saw 165 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: what was going to happen, and he reacted. And you 166 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: see that in basketball where guys will jump the passing lane. 167 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: You don't see that often on that kind of play 168 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: in the NFL, but you would think think there'll be 169 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: other guys that'll copy that and try to mimic what 170 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: was going on. But when I'm watching these games on 171 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: Thursday night that I don't really have any interest in, 172 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: and I'm not a Raider fan or a Charger fan, 173 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: I don't even skinning the game. I do go to 174 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: the Charger games, but I'm not a Charger guy, and 175 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: I'm always looking for the story and I'm like, Wow, 176 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: there's gonna be nothing really here. It's gonna be a 177 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: you know, a seventeen, a twenty to seventeen game, and 178 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: you know you got backup quarterback here for the Chargers 179 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: and then that happens, so I was able to wax 180 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: poet it, so I was happy about that. Before we 181 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: get to eat, drink and be merry.

I remember seeing this one as 211 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: a get the key to imagination. Beyond it is another dimension, Danny, 212 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: a dimension of sound, a dimension of mind. You're moving 213 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: in to a land of both shadow and substance of 214 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: things and ideas. You've crossed over into the Mallard zone, 215 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: otherwise known as a twilight zone. But this is a 216 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: yearly podcast. I now present, without further interruption, the twenty 217 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: twenty three Mallard Ugly Sweater Party postgame show. Nobody else 218 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: has this content, Danny. It is a global exclusive. iHeartMedia 219 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: sparing no expense. Hey, the company paid a shopping four 220 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: dollars and twenty eight cents to win a ginning war, 221 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: so we're very happy. Last year we paid the company 222 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: paid three dollars and eighty eight cents, So we've added 223 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: value here. That's forty extra cents. Inflation is a mofo, Danny. 224 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 5: WHOA You could buy a Panthers ticket with that? 225 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, And you're better off keeping the money though, 226 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: and than buying a Panther's ticket. But what can you 227 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: expect from the pod? Post game exclusive never before told stories. 228 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna go deep into the weeds. This year was 229 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: an absolute blast. In fact, if you watch Benny Versus 230 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: the Penny, you will see something that has never been 231 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: broadcast before involving this event. And I'm gonna tell you 232 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: when it happens, or how it happens, or what it is, 233 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: but just file that away, file out away. Something related 234 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: to this event made the television show. But we had 235 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: a packed house. We had a great turnout and my 236 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: wife's plan was accurate. Now last year we had a 237 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: Halloween party and a Christmas party. Too many parties, so 238 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: if you have one, everyone shows them. If you have two, 239 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: people choose one and they don't go to the other. 240 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: So we had we had one. We had Radio Royalty, 241 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: big radio celebrities at Eddie Garcia made the appearance Iowa 242 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: Sam Mike Harmon from The Jesus Show, Bobo on the radio, 243 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: a legend Bobo who doesn't really work at our place anymore, 244 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: but he did and I love Bobo. Rob Parker stop 245 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: by with buddy of his, the great Art Martinez, the 246 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: Prince of Darkness, League Line Ted Sobol. They have a 247 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: bunch of other people that made the guest list, and 248 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: then my wife had a bunch of her friends, so 249 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: we had a bunch of police officers ex law enforcement people. 250 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: There was a rambunctious night and sustenance is that a 251 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: word I can say? I think this early in the morning. Yeah, 252 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: food was provided, not to say grub exactly. And the 253 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: menu we had the traditional nacho bar which is very popular. 254 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: Kirkland brand pizza both pepperoni and cheese pizza. Here's a 255 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: big one, Danny. A charcuterie board with various meats, cheeses, 256 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: and crackers or Kuca River. Yeah, I just you know, 257 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: I say it my own way. And we had a 258 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: chocolate bar. I told you last weekend. I was busy 259 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: making chocolate as the chocolate tear, and I posted some 260 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: photos on Instagram and also on Facebook if you want 261 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: to see. And I'm pretty proud of my chocolate. I'm 262 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: not gonna lie, Danny. My chocolate game's on point, I think. 263 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: But I had Hanukka chocolates. I had Christmas chocolates good 264 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: for everyone. I didn't have any I didn't have any 265 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: atheist chocolates. But those are just chocolates, so any of that. 266 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: But people loved the bakery, Benny's Bakery. I made homemade 267 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies and every tasty morsel 268 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: finger licking good. And I can report exclusively on this 269 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: postgame coverage here. On the fifth hours, everyone ate drank 270 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: and was merry that the chocolate chip mixed with the 271 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: peanut butter was a big hit. It was chewey ooey, 272 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: gooey goodness, and it actually went quicker than the oatmeal 273 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: raisin But the main reason I make the oatmeal raisin 274 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: is because my wife likes so she actually is happy 275 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: that people don't eat them as much. They did eat 276 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: a lot of them, but they didn't need as much 277 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: as the chocolate chip ones. In fact, I was told 278 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: I have to double the chocolate chip for the family 279 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: version of the party. So we've got that now, turning 280 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: the page, Danny, we had unappreciated comedy. As we continue 281 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: our in depth team coverage of the twenty twenty three 282 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: malar Ugly Sweater party, the night got off to a 283 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: rather bizarre start. People showed up around the time the 284 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: party started. There are a few people early. Mike Harmon 285 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: was the first one there, by the way, he was 286 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: the first one there, and then there were a bunch 287 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: of other people. But my friend Art Martinez, you know 288 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: from these parties. He's been in these things over the years. 289 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 4: Oh and I worked with him for a few years 290 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 4: at NBC Sports Radio back in the day. 291 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: So I've known Art for I don't know to say 292 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: how long I'm gonna date myself, but we go way 293 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: back to local radio in LA and I love Art. 294 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: Art's the greatest board op I've ever had. He's amazing 295 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: at what he does. He's the big engineer at Westwood One, 296 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: and he's. 297 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 5: Famous for always shutting down your parties pretty much. 298 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: And that happened, of course again we'll get to that. 299 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: But he's a Fox Sports Radio veteran. He's a US 300 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: Marine veteran, which is much more proud of it should 301 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: be served in Desert storm. We tell all kinds of 302 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: stories anyway. So Artie loves to kind of pak the bear, 303 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: and he loves and he wanted to have some fun 304 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: with the Prince of Darkness, the original Prince of Darkness 305 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: league line, which is not hard to press his button. 306 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: You know that. I mean you had your run ins 307 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: with Lee. I mean you guys, I didn't get along now, 308 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: but you had when you first met him. He was 309 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: kind of a douche slightly racist, yes, so, which is 310 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: funny because he's like pretty liberal, which is odd so 311 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: easy to get a reaction. So art goes up to 312 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: Lee and tells him this in my kitchen. He tells 313 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: a kind of an off colored joke in a dead 314 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: pan delivery, and he was very serious as he was 315 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: telling that. He tried to be the straight man. Now 316 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: I happened to hear that joke earlier, because he tried 317 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: that on me and I ignored it. So, knowing what 318 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: I know about art, and I knew this guy, this 319 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: guy's he didn't he didn't mean what he's saying. He's 320 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: busting balls, so I know where he's at in that realm. 321 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: And nevertheless, Lee apparently did not either that or he 322 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: chose to ignore his ear plugs, and he almost threw hands. 323 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: We almost had a punch of heart, and it took 324 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: a little while for Lee to calm down and realize 325 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: that he was not serious. 326 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 4: And now Lee is usually the one offending other people. Yeah, yeah, 327 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 4: So I mean, was this racial? Was it religious? Like? 328 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 5: What tone was this joke that set off Bullie? 329 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: It was a religious joke. I will not repeat it 330 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: in a friendly company, but you know, it's just a joke. 331 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: It was just kidding around and Lee got really really 332 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: upset later on, though, you'll be happy to know the 333 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: tradition continues because one of my buddies, my guy Hunter, 334 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: who I don't know if you've met him, he's he's 335 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: my my like, my only friend left from high school 336 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: that I still socialize with, is this guy Hunter. We're 337 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: gambling buddies. We go to Vegas maybe once a year, 338 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: and we's a bunch of money and we think we're 339 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: gonna win and all this. Anyway, so he's at the 340 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: party and he he not really met Lee, and so 341 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: he had heard about Lee. He's known I've known Lee, 342 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: we've done we did shows together a long time and 343 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: Lee and Lee's retired from radio and we see him 344 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: once a year at this thing. So my buddy's like, 345 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna get into it. Lee, I'm gonna 346 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: go political because Lee used to host shows at KFI, 347 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: the big political talk station in La So he goes 348 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: out to the back of the Malor mansion and he's 349 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: talking politics and the Prince of Darkness, Lee Kleine, the 350 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: original Prince of Dartaness. He works himself into a lather 351 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: talking about politics. So and my buddy, knowing what he knows, 352 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: he tried like everyone else, just like Art Martinez tried 353 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: to press buttons. My buddy like, hey, I'll press some buttons, 354 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: and so he starts. He starts tapping buttons, and Lee's 355 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: getting more and more worked up. And a group of 356 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: my wife's friend approached Lee. They were concerned that he 357 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,479 Speaker 1: was getting two out of control, so they told him 358 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: to calm down. How do you think Lee handled. 359 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 4: That the same way women do when you tell them 360 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 4: to calm down. 361 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it escalated the situation. It was interesting. It 362 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: was interesting, but nobody threw any punches. As far as 363 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: I know, I didn't see anything at any reports of that. 364 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: Other of that. People were getting along and were singing, dancing, partying. 365 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: It was all all good in the neighborhood. And as 366 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: far as the the dream Weaver is concerned, the highlight 367 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: for me, the highlight for I love hanging out with 368 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: radio people and telling old radio stories and all that stuff. 369 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: I'll become that guy. I'm that guy. So we had 370 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: a passionate conversation. It was me my friend Ted Sobel, 371 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: who briefly worked at Fox Sports Radio is mostly a 372 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: news radio guy and did network NFL radio studio hosting 373 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: for a long time. Just recently stopped doing that. So 374 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: Sobl's there, Iowa Sam, a couple other people, some of 375 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: them in the business, some of them out of the business, 376 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: but a lot of them were mostly from the audio wars. 377 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: Give me an example. Ted Sobil loves to point out 378 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: that he's friends with Sandy Kofax, not just casual friends, 379 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: like they're like their buddies. Sandy lives in Florida, but 380 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: they talk quite a bit, and Ted, much like Pat O'Brien, 381 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: likes to drop names from time to time. He did 382 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: point out that he also had a phone conversation this 383 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: past week with a gentleman who's rather famous, who I'm 384 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,239 Speaker 1: gonna admit I did not know was still alive. I 385 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: thought this person was not with us anymore. But lator yes, 386 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: that is absolutely correct, unless it is not my budd 387 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: Ted Sobell, he is friends. He had a phone conversation 388 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: this week with mel Brooks in that wild I thought 389 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: mel Brooks had passed. 390 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 5: Away, but he's Wow. I did too. 391 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: He's ninety seven years old. Seven years old. 392 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 5: That's Dick van Dijke Territory. 393 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still going. That's nuts. And if you're younger, 394 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: you know who mel Brooks is. I mean, the guy's 395 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: a Hollywood ken That blaze he made blazing saddles right 396 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: that that movie could never win the white women at 397 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: exactly with Richard Pryor and all those those knuckleheads in 398 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: that movie. Spaceball's made a bunch of parody movies the 399 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: producers young Frankenstein were a bunch of a bunch of 400 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: famous stuff And anyway, that's just randomly came up. So 401 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: Ted's also friends. One of the other stories I love 402 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: about Teddy's I tell us every year, but he's friends 403 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: with Paul. Do you know who Paul Olden is? 404 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 5: The name rings the bell? 405 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: So Paul Olden now is the public address announcer in 406 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: the Bronx at Yankee Stadium. Okay, but the reason I 407 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: know Paul Olden is because he is the young radio reporter. 408 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: As a kid, he was a young guy, probably a teenager, 409 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: maybe in his early twenty and he went up to 410 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda and asked, what is your opinion 411 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: of Kingman's performance? 412 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 5: Yes, that's where his name rings a bell. 413 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 1: So we're talking about that. That was kind of the 414 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: origin of the conversation. We started talking about Paul Olden, 415 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, what's going on with Paul. 416 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: I've met him a few times. I don't really know him, 417 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: but I've met him. And he used to be an 418 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: MLB Broadchester He was the PA announcer for the Super 419 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: Bowl for years. But now he's been the Yankee guy, 420 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: and it's a great job from what I understand. You 421 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: do the spring training game, so you get a month 422 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: in Florida, which is where his offseason home is, and 423 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: then you do the eighty one home game and that's it. 424 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: So he essentially works about one hundred and twelve days 425 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: a year, give or take, and if there's playoff games, 426 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: it's a little more. And that's it. He just has 427 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: to be available when the Yankees have a game at home. 428 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 1: So we're talking about these coaching ti rads, which it's 429 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: a topic I love. I just love this topic. And 430 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: we started going down the usual suspects. It was like 431 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: Lee Elia and I celebrated Lee ilya. Eighty five percent 432 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: of the world's work. The other fifteen percent come out here. 433 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: It's a playground for the seasuckers, you know, and all that, 434 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: and so that to me is always the measuring stake, Danny, 435 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: that's the measuring stake. But the reason this became a 436 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: very interesting conversation, I'm talking about these coaching tirades, and 437 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: a couple of the younger guys that were at the 438 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: party had never heard Manager's Corner with Earl Weaver, and 439 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: so we went to the YouTube and we played Manager's 440 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: Corner for Earl Weaver and people started dying, they were balling, 441 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: they were laughing. It was so good. It's pure comedy 442 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 1: gold And if you've not heard it, we played it 443 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: on this podcast before. Yeah, it's nineteen eighties radio. Orioles 444 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: are really good and they used to do these pregame 445 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: shows which are only like half an hour, but the 446 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: coaches Corner Earl Weaver manager Coaches Corner was twenty minutes. 447 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: Our Manager's Corner was twenty minutes before the start of 448 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: Orioles game. And so they did this parody one where 449 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: they did a mail bag and it was hilarious. Team 450 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: Speed for Christ's sakes. And then Terry Crowley, you know, 451 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: he's if you could hit an F and baseball and 452 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: it was hilarious. Is Terry Crowley all baseball fan? He's like, 453 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: we picked up Terry Crowley because we saw that he 454 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: could sit in the end, you know his FN asked 455 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: for eight innings and enjoy watching a baseball game just 456 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: like any other fan. And the funniest was at the 457 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: end we talked about this, he took a letter, a 458 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: fake letter from Alice Sweet from Norfolk Virginia and she 459 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: wanted to know when the best time was to plant 460 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: her tomato plant. And that was hilarious. So it was. 461 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun at a good time. 462 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: And I look forward to to next year and hopefully Danny, 463 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: I know you've got the kid now, so you have 464 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: the ultimate excuse to never come to these things again. 465 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: But I would hope hopefully next year maybe maybe. 466 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 4: You know, I think CoA will be old enough this 467 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 4: time next year to have a sitter. Right now, he 468 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 4: would just shoot saliva and poop all over a wannabe babysitter. 469 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I totally, I totally get it and all 470 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 1: that stuff. And we did have competing party we had. 471 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: Covino and Rich had their own party. It was a 472 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: few hours before our our party, so they had their 473 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: their holiday. 474 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw that your boy Iowa Sam double dip. 475 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: He did. He did. In fact, he texts me while 476 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: at the other party to say, hey, I'm here, but 477 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: I will be making the appearance, but I'm gonna be 478 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: a little bit later. So yeah, that's cool, It's all good. 479 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: I guess I'll have to get to it with Covino 480 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: and Rich. We'll have to coordinate so I can go 481 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: to not that I was invited to their party, but 482 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: if they invite now, I'll go to them, and then 483 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: they can come to our party. 484 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 4: So we know you were because remember they told me 485 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 4: to invite you. You told me to invite them, and 486 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 4: I had to inform both parties that the date was 487 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 4: the same. 488 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's unfortunate. Yeah. My wife was like, hey, we 489 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: got to get Comuno and Rich because she's met them 490 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: at the super Bowl and that horse track Santa Anita. 491 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: But it didn't work out tobly.

All right, so we will get out. 494 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: We have one more fun thing to do. The word 495 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: of the week dandy. 496 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 5: Of the week. 497 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: So I thought of this word at the Ugly Sweater 498 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: party because there were people in the back of the 499 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: Malor mansion who were smoking stogies and they were really 500 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: enjoying themselves, smoking like a victory cigar. 501 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 5: So I thought, ah, you're pulling a Max Crosby. 502 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know what do we do? Yeah? I 503 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: saw that boy. Max doesn't need a shirt. He's got 504 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: a shirt. You know, He's got his own shirt without 505 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: his shirt on. He spent a lot of money on tattoos. 506 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: That's probably I looked at that photo of him. You 507 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: think that's like thirty thousand dollars of tattoos or more 508 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: than that. 509 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I do, because he he hired a really good 510 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 4: tattoo artist. 511 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 5: Those don't come cheap. 512 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, they look good. I'm not a tattoo guy, but 513 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: they look good. I respect someone's tattoos, I do, all right. 514 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: So stogy. The word of the week is stogy in 515 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: honor of the people who are smoking them at the 516 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: mallor mansion Ugly Sweater party circa twenty twenty three. So 517 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: if you don't know, it's kind of obviously it's large 518 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: sheep cigars called the stogy. That word stogy. I think 519 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: this is interesting. I stumbled into a rabbit hole. That's 520 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: why I'm bringing this up as the word of the week. 521 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: So it goes back to eighteen sixty nine. It's a 522 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: colloquial term. The word supposedly originally from the eighteen thirties. 523 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: It was an adjective meaning rough, heavy, or coarse, kind 524 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: of like workshoes or something along those lines, but also cigars, 525 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: long and cheap. In eighteen sixty one. But it is 526 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: a base and essentially what it is. They believe the 527 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: word itself came from Conestoga, which is the name of 528 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: an agricultural region in the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area, Conestoga. I 529 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: believe I'm saying that properly. And these cigars came from 530 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: that area. And there's also a claim that they were 531 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: favored by drivers of the covered wagons, the people that 532 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: drove the wagons from the agricultural area in this town 533 00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Conestoga, and people just said, Hey, the 534 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: guy's coming with the wagon and he's got us. They 535 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: shortened it from Conestoga to Stogy. So there you go, 536 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: the word of the week, which is a tribute to 537 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: a town in Pennsylvania, the term Stogy from the eighteen hundreds. 538 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: Stogy is the word of the week. We'll get out 539 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: on that, Danny. Anything you want to promote here. It 540 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: is a Friday. I know you at work.
