Were gonna think Rob Parker, the Great Rob 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.160 Parker who hung out with on Friday, regaling us with 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:06.200 stories from his career, The Great Rob Parker, always trying 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.760 fun to catch up with Rob. It's amazingly this is 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.600 the first time we've had we've been doing the podcast 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.000 for over a year, the first time we've had Rob 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:19.240 on said podcast. And now to ruin your day, making 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.600 his way from West of the four oh five after 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.560 almost a month hiatus, maybe people thought he got fired. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.399 It's gonna be here is a great get by me. 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.120 Usually on the one book in the good Guests, you 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.120 get the shitty guests like Tom Looney and uh some 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.280 other crackheads of the world that you get on I 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.680 do find it rather humorous that we were getting or 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:50.800 I don't know if you were getting, but I was 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.680 getting some emails and direct messages saying, you guys need 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:58.560 to do something on Thanksgiving week and Thanksgiving weekend because 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.960 we dad and sing the day away for you folk 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:08.040 that are consuming free content. But anyways, I'm back here 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.000 to say wow, wow, Yeah. I want to point out 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.440 now now full disclosure, you know, I'm the one with 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.760 ambition on the show. As you know I'm I'm the 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.200 one that works hard. I'm the one that wants to 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:23.160 make this work. And so in order though for the podcast, 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.040 guest Ghan has to do the technical stuff, which is 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.720 why it just sounds so shitty every week, so crapy 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.440 guest Ghan has to do it. So but but but 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.880 I've got fired in my belly, right, you know, I'm hungry, 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.800 like well, if I want to go out there, and 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:36.760 I want to do the podcast every day because I 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.560 have determination. So but to do the podcast, I need 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:43.440 someone to record the podcast and do the technical stuff 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:48.160 and all that stuff. So anyway, I remember we had 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.959 a text conversation, Hey, you want to do the podcast. 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.040 It's Thanksgiving week. Why don't we have to do it 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.960 earlier in the week Because Thanksgiving you normally record the 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.360 podcast on Thursdays, so we would have had to have 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.399 done it like on Tuesday or Wednesday eight to get 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:06.120 the podcast in and guesstcan you wanted no part and 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.400 that you wanted no part in hard work? You you 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.360 just you west of the four oh five took over there, 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.760 and I was I was raised, You've got to outwork 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:17.880 the horse. Yeah, you were raised. You've got to laid 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.560 down next to the course. I was always taught that 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.639 you you get what you put into it, and I 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.560 put in a lot and get little in return. So 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.880 I figured, like, you know what holiday week is here, 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.600 I'm not getting much in return. I'm gonna take a 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.840 week off because unlike you, I didn't feel like driving 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.280 into the studio to record a couple of podcasts that 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.400 I'll get no appreciation. Thanks for so you know what, 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.680 I checked out for a couple of weeks and I 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.520 feel like and you mentioned that, so it's not just 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.960 you don't have the hustle, you don't have the eagerness 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:50.920 to do that. Well, no, I'm just not I'm not 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.400 an intern anymore. I grew up and you know, when 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:57.280 I graduated college, I was twenty three and uh, you 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.920 know those days of internships where are far behind me. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.640 And I liked to, you know, seek out a professional 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.200 life for you actually get paid for what you do 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.600 and you get to see your efforts, uh returned in 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.320 kind with you know, commerce with the with a little 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.280 bit of greens and a little bit of a pat 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.440 on the back and uh, you know, monetization for what 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.880 we do. And yeah, so you're just admitting your whore 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:21.960 that you don't have any pride in you were. You know, 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.800 it was the great John Wooden that said make everything 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.760 your masterpiece. It was Benjamin Franklin said, by failing to prepare, 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.280 you were preparing to fail. Uh, those are all things, 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.840 and you don't prepare. You don't take this seriously at all. 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.360 I think you take almost a month off from a podcast. 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.800 I mean that's about I'm trying to teach you. I mean, 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:43.680 you like the dumb kid in the back of the class. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.160 I'm trying to teach you how to told nothing exist. 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:51.240 Foh yeah, nothing says uh. Nothing says like that, like 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:55.040 name calling and sniping at at other individuals, blaming it all. 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.120 I mean, see, I'm like you, I have to drive 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.360 into work. I know you have the happy confines of 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.640 the Mallory man Chin where you can just roll out 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.520 of bed and pop on a couple of devices and 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.120 here you are. And uh, I understand though, I mean 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.800 it's it's it's a little uncomfortable for you to need 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.120 me as the uh, as someone to lean on to 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.880 have this kind of masterpiece uh breached out and published 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.080 out to the masses. So I know it's a little 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.680 uncomfortable for you to understand that, but to acknowledge it. 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.000 But you know, I'd like to have a talk with 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.920 your father because clearly he did not teach you as 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.120 a child that there is this thing called constructive criticism 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.440 and tough love. You know, I'll be doctor truth in 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.120 your life. I'll be the guy that has to kick 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.000 you in the tookis from time to time, which is 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.279 not a bad thing, by the way, term pain for 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.360 long term gain. Unfortunately, you haven't taken the lesson, so 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.760 I have to continue to kick you in the tookis. Unfortunately, 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.359 I don't think there's a lesson that needs to be 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.360 taught here in the digital world with you, and I 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.600 consider the fact that I was the one that uh 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.320 actually ignited the flame and your soul to actually start 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:02.279 doing podcasts. It's bad, Betty, to the YouTube universe. I 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.920 have done it all for you. You yeah, oh yeah, 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.440 you're so just so kind. We have ten people watching 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.520 the YouTube videos, and even if we get it on 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.159 the air, even if we get it on the air, 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.640 there were more people there, Betty, versus a penny. We 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.080 did it here than than that. And you didn't even 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:21.880 show up to one of them to an hour later, 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:23.640 you showed up, bat job by you. It's a little 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:27.120 bit different. Did you at least have a good Thanksgiving? Man? 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.280 It was fine, fine, we no. I when I went 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.120 to my in laws and then I saw my dad 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:35.800 after so I violated every King Knewsome rule possible. But 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:40.320 your dad ages really well, yeah, he's doing all right, 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.080 what he's doing all right? He looks incredibly young. For 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.560 his age. Yeah, he's doing good. That's good. He's got 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.120 Mallard blood. What do you want? No, I mean, if 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:51.760 you make it to a certain point, see most of 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.400 the Mallards check out earlier. But if you make it 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.400 to a certain point, you're golden. You know, those live forever, 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.040 ever and ever and ever. And he said he's stilling. Well, 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.640 so hopefully. Now I concerned about my pops because he's 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:07.560 a Ham radio operator and he was having problems connecting 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:11.200 on the Ham radio and so he's determined that he 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:16.320 needed to replace a cable. But to do that, he 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.200 has to go on the roof of the original O. G. 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.480 Mallor Mansion, which is a two story house in Orange County. 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.280 So he has to go up there, crawl out of 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.440 a front window, crawl around to the right, and then 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.320 make another turn up to the very top where the 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.960 chimney is, and then put a cable in right next 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.720 to the antenna, which is on the edge of the 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.200 side of the house. So I told him this is 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.200 probably not a good idea. Why don't I come down 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.520 there and I can kind of at least be there, 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:50.200 and you know, I'll do it. You know, he always 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.440 says maybe I'll listen to you. But then yeah, so 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.520 I'm look concerned about that. You know, you're your older 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.840 dad's crawling around on the roof to put a ham 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.880 radio and tender together. It does not seem like the uh, 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:04.800 the smartest thing. But he doesn't listen to me. So 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.680 you know, my my older brother he listens to He 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.160 doesn't listen to me in one year and out the 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.600 other kind of like you. You know you don't listen 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.720 to anybody. I'll tell you something all of a sudden, 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.320 you don't do it. And then your wife five months 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.640 later says, go get a green screen to look better. 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.600 What does Ben maland he buys a fucking green skul unbelievable? 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:26.200 Stop you are you are so full of I will hurd. 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.640 I will admit though your your hat collection is looking 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.320 nice and ripe. Though it's good, well speaking that I 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.080 did want to think. You know, do you have that 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.640 letter we promised? Now you're probably lost it because you're 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.840 not you don't have to know how to how to 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:44.440 keep track of stuff. But there's a certain power couple 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:50.040 in Kentucky that came through big time, right big time, 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.960 And uh, I was gonna read the letter on the air. 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.160 Now you have do you have the letter, guest, because 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.520 I have something. I have some beautiful candles here that 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.439 birthday candles from what a little two year old girl? Right? 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.800 This is her idea? Yeah, it was Kentucky Tay and 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.520 Kentucky k right. I don't have the litter in front 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.800 of me. I have the picture, my guest, I had 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:18.920 the picture of what they sent me. You are so bad, 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:21.800 bad bad, Oh my god. I was. I was gonna 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:26.200 show the letter on Benny versus the penny, which I 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.800 thought would be appropriate concerned the fact that they got 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:34.160 me some Kentucky Berman whiskey. Well, you know, there's a book, 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.400 and I might recommend it. Of course it's probably too 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:40.319 late for you. How to Win Friends, all right, How 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:44.439 to Win Friends and Influence People was written by Dale Carnegie. 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.600 He's dead, so you probably don't pay attention to it. 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.079 But what was the main lesson from the Dale to 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:55.440 three cs? The three cs? Don't complain, don't criticize, And 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.400 I think I forget what the other one was. Yeah, 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.880 don't complain, don't criticize. I forget the other one. All right, 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.360 there's something else that was book. There's something else in 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.240 that book that Dale Carnegie, which is a great book 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.040 in any young person, you know, when you're starting out 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:09.960 in the world. It's a very important book, and I 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.040 believe in it. I don't really follow most of it, 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.120 but this is one thing I do follow. This is 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.040 one lesson I got from Dale Carnegie. Oh, don't condemn. 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.080 Don't condemn. That's not no, no, no, no no. That's acknowledge 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.000 people by their name. People love to hear the name exactly. 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:27.280 Remember a person's name to that person is the sweetest 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.240 and most important sound in any language. So you just 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:34.559 got the names wrong of the people that hooked this 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:40.079 up from Scottsville, Kentucky with these wonderful gifts. It's Kentucky, 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:48.200 Jay and Tay, not Oh my god, yes there they said. 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.800 I gave you. I wanted the letter. You said, no, 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.720 I'll take the letter. I'm gonna read it on the podcast. 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.080 And you didn't even bring it in. And there's another 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.600 there's another part in the book where Dale Carnegie says, 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.960 it's always important to admit and you're wrong. So I 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.520 apologize I was wrong. So I want to thank Jay 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:06.959 and Tay, and I want to thank your daughter as well. 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.000 You guys went above and beyond the call of duty. Here, 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.679 I'm holding birthday candles. It's not my birthday until April, 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.080 but I'm gonna hold onto these. Maybe I'll use them 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.319 from the wife's birthday or something like that. So, uh, 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.320 they said in the letter, I'm trying to remember because Gascon, 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.839 the unreasonable Gascon did not bring this in because he's 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:24.640 west of the forth. That's what they get. They spelled 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.600 my last name wrong, too, So you know what Kentucky 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.960 Jay Bay Clay or whatever the hell it is, spelled 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:35.000 my last name wrong. What Jay and Tay is what 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:38.400 it is J, not k J and too anyway, So 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:42.080 they said these happy birthday candles from their daughter. But 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.080 I love this is a very unique cat. You know, 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.040 I'm I've got the collection. I'm the mad hatter of 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:48.720 a sports chatter, and you guys have been great in 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.520 the Mallard militia. I got a Kentucky hat. But I 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.000 also got and we'll talk more about that later, but 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:59.400 a Western Kentucky Hilltoppers hat. Now, this is a very 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.000 unique at. This could be the most I think it's 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.360 it's gotta be in the top three most unique hats. 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.880 I have a zillion hats as the mad Hatter of 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.079 sports chatter. But this is really cool because it's got 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.319 the Western Kentucky logo on the top because this is 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.679 his audio. So and then below it it says Hilltoppers. 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.120 The problem though with that is I think it's it's 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:21.600 a cool nickname. It's unique. It's not another bulldogs or 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.959 you know, wildcats or something like that. And I like that. 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.480 But just Josh and Cincinnati said, hey, those are the 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.720 pill poppers. So now every time I look at the hat, 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.840 I don't read hilltoppers, I see pill poppers and I 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.720 can't get it out of my But it's a great hat. 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.160 I really want to thank Kentucky J and Kentucky K 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.319 because I I know your name is unlike yes goun 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:43.440 uh so I do thank you very kind of you 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:49.000 and guscon you sent him some some booze, and of 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:52.560 course always good to give an alcoholic more booze.

You know, it's it's important. 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.080 You know, when you get gifts like that, you should 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.960 acknowledge it and then put those gifts to said good use. Um. 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.040 So yeah, yeah, here he's back two weeks away and 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:46.360 no one, he complained, lady dog, I'm just acknowledging that 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:53.920 I appreciate what they did. Pompous ass, pretentious snotty conceded, 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:58.240 overbearing David gist gun No, I don't think so. I 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:05.680 think insufferable. Be the word insufferable. It's uh fin tolerable. 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:10.280 Why why didn't you have any of it? Well, because 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.720 you didn't offer and it wasn't sent to me. I 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:17.200 got the hat, which I'm long after that booze is 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.760 in your belly. I'm gonna still have the hat that 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.760 I will be able to have in my rotation. I 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.320 can do a college week I got the Iowa hat, 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:29.040 I got Western Kentucky. Now I have the University of 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:33.080 Kentucky Minnesota Golden Golfer. So I got four. I need 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.760 one more to complete the hat week. Now you should 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.080 have since they're playing today, you should have someone see 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:39.560 if they can hook you up with a b y 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:45.440 U or Coastal Carolina hat. The Shanta clears, the Shanta clears. Yeah, 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.920 any of those unique things, I'd be I'd be all 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.320 about it. I when I was a kid, I used 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:56.560 to go to you see, Irvine ant Eater basketball a 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.560 game so I could get like an ant eater like I. 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.880 I like this schools with kind of the weird mascots 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.160 and smaller schools. I don't mind the big schools. And 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:08.360 the Kentucky hat that we got. That was, oh man, 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:10.720 so much. I got so much crap for that from 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.080 like Duke fans and you know these other like all 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.800 the blue bloods of college basketball, the other fan bases like, oh, 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.200 well you were the Kentucky had. But then the guys 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.880 in Kentucky, the guys in the you know, in the South, 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.120 were like, oh that's great. You know you look better. 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:29.040 Women will find you more track, you know, I mean 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.080 they were giving me the whole, the whole to do 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.000 on the on the Kentucky had and how it's gonna 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.480 change my life. And I want to thank David. By 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.320 the way, David's the guy who sent that in from 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.840 South Carolina actually, but he's a big Kentucky fan. So 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.480 but thank you, and I do appreciate that. Hey, before 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:51.520 I forget, I guess con, I'm gonna give you a 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:56.040 warning in the Mallard militia. All right, I want you, 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.080 if you're interested in the cameo and you want to 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:03.200 get a deal, go on cameo right now. Alright, go 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.120 on cameo right now, because I'm gonna have to raise 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.360 my price, not because I want to. I just did 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.240 one the other day. I did a cameo which was 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:17.160 very annoying. You want to guess the cameo request I got. 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.440 This is a couple of days ago Laker related right. 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:21.880 Oh yeah, did you know about that? No? I have 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:23.720 no idea, but I just I mean, you say annoying, 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.120 So I figured it's gotta be Lakers. Yes, uh Jesse 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.960 Jesse on cameo. Uh No, no, this is different. It's 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:38.760 a different Jesse. Uh So Jesse sent me a message 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.040 and he's like, hey, uh, you know I want you 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.920 to do. Can you please explain to my low information 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.760 fan cousin why the Lakers have the same amount of 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.120 championships as the Celtics And at the end, can you 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.760 explain why the Lakers will pass them this season? So 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.080 so I had to do a cameo and he wanted 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:01.160 it Mallard monologue style. So so I had to do 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:07.040 this Mallard monologue style, and uh, yeah, it was. It 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.480 was interesting. It was that's a second time. By the way, 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.000 this guy Jesse loves busting my balls. But anyway, the 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.680 reason I had not done a cameo in a while, 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.720 we didn't really promote it. Whatever, it's there if you 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.879 want it. Uh, And I know the holidays are coming up. 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.239 What what a better stockings I can't think of a 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.520 better digital stocking stuffer than a cameo from The Mallard Show, 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.000 or for that you know, the Hanakah. You know he 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.800 got eight gifts on Hanakah starts on the eleventh of December, 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:33.480 So eight gifts, one of them make it a cameo 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:38.320 coming up? And you got Valentine's Day coming up. Anyway, 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:39.840 So the reason, I'm gonna have to raise my rate. 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:41.720 It's only thirty bucks now. So I hadn't done one 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.640 in a while, but since the last time I did one. Uh, 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:50.120 there's a third party that entered in on cameo and said, hey, 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.480 I want to cut the pie right, And so I 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.879 was like, wait a minute, what's what's this all about there? 0:17:56.080 --> 0:18:01.480 And so I looked and the people I think it's 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:07.320 it's Apple is getting a cut now of each person's cameo. 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.040 I got a work around for that. What's the what's 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.720 the worker? Oh, we'll have to discuss off there because 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.440 you might get some people triggered on here, hold on, 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.840 sa let me let me check. I want to check 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.240 to give you the amount, the exact amount, because I 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:25.639 I saw this and I was like, I did a 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:30.920 double take because it went down like it was a decline. 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:35.440 That's horseshit. Well, yeah, it's pretty pretty. I was pretty 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.040 piste off because I was like, hey, you know, wait 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:38.560 a minute. You know I'm doing the same thing here. 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:42.080 And this is especially because you should be grandfather into 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:43.840 this thing and some the fact that's not like you 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.600 just activated and account last year. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:52.480 the Apple it's called Apple I A P. And they 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:57.840 took thirty percent. They took a thirty haircut that's craft 0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:00.440 off the top, and then whatever was off to over 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.800 was then broken up. It doesn't I'm not trying to 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.000 get rich on this. It's just it does take some 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:06.679 time to do these things. I try to do them right. 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.720 I try to put some effort into them. I don't 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:10.200 you know, I could just do them in two seconds. 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:12.320 Maybe I should do that, But I figured, if you're 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.520 spending your money to hear a rant, I wanna, I 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.320 wanna make it as good as I possibly can, because 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.680 you know it's unlike you guess I got some work. 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.560 So but anyway, so that so that the way the 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:28.400 break comments is you have the original price, and then 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.160 I get what is Apple I A P? What is that? 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:34.280 Do you know what that is? No, but I can't 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:37.199 take a look at it. I just says it on 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:41.800 the thing here Apple in app purchase, in app purchase. 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.560 So this counts as an in app purchase. But I'm 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:49.399 not because the person, oh I see, so the person 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:52.199 that's the person that's doing it did it on the 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:58.040 cameo app. So they have to pay off My god, Now, 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.280 I'm a cheap guy on came berry. There are some 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.640 people on there. Let's think of the math on that 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.399 for some of the the other the big time people 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:10.520 that are charging a fortune on kid like Steve my mind, 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:14.760 my man, is Steve Harvey seven hundred and fifty dollars 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:19.640 to do a cameo? Uh? Oh my god? Seven fifty 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:23.320 So let me do the math on that. So thirty 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:28.880 percent of seven hundred and fifty dollars is two hundred 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:32.440 and twenty five dollars that the Apple is getting because 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:36.600 the people use the app. Oh my god. So there's 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.439 a workaround for that. I mean we could have because 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:42.159 obviously with with Benny versus the Penning, we can put 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:45.159 you on camera. Um, we could conceive will we do 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:49.800 something remotely where we can skip the cameo and um, 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.960 people could just send the requests into me and I 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.160 can give them your telephone number and we can all 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.600 make this one happy trans Oh, I see what you're 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:01.240 doing a worker. I don't know if I'm ready to 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.600 do that, but I'm telling you, I'm gonna give you 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:09.399 until next Friday the eleven thirty dollar, right, and then 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:11.840 it's gonna go up to forty which I don't think 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:14.639 it's that bigger raise, but you know, I gotta at 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.520 least get some of that back, which which is really 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:19.680 just going to give the people at Apple more money 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.960 apparently sucks, right, it's gonna give them more money, which 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:25.280 I guess if you own Apple stock, that's what what 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.159 can you imagine? Oh? Yeah, speaking, it's like, isn't that 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.520 like the mob though? Like that technique, Like, yeah, listen, 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:33.560 we run the we won the app. Like how much 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:35.359
