I 23 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: got his new number, and so we were catching up 24 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: a little bit. We were going back and forth, and 25 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: he mentioned he had a YouTube channel, he had this, 26 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: that and the other thing.

I did not 31 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: hear the story that he told about how he got 32 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: the Dodger job. I had not heard that one before. 33 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: That was a new story for me, which was great. 34 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: How the Dodgers asked him who he thought would be 35 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: good for the job.

Anyway, on this edition of 37 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour podcast, we have a fly, a kite, 38 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: Shock and Awe, tough Transition, the Witches brew, and a backscratcher. 39 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: Do we have any backscratchers to mention? Inquiring minds would 40 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: like to know. But let's get right into are you 41 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: ready to m let's do it all right? Here we go. 42 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: So this is the Saturday Podcast which is the life 43 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: of Mallard and Danny g. This doesn't have the number 44 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: one station anymore, is it? This? This past weekend, I 45 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: did make a tactical error. I should say we at 46 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: the Mallard mansion made a tactical error. By so Cow standards, 47 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: it was not The weather was not particularly great, but 48 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: we had limited time. My wife had to work some 49 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: overtime on the weekend on Saturday, so we didn't have 50 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: a lot of time. So we had a squeeze in 51 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: any kind of weekend activities into Friday. That was like 52 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: the big thing. So we sated go to the beach. 53 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: And now this is not your typical warm, sunny southern California. 54 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: In fact, we got out of the beach and it 55 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: was it was cool by California standards. It was more 56 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: like Wisconsin weather, where it was like overcast, real cloudy, 57 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: kind of windy at the beach, sweater weather. But we 58 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: had planned to eat the lunch at the beach. That 59 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: was the plan. Seemed like a simple thing. Set the 60 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: tent up. We decided to bring Bella, our lovely dog 61 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: Bella with us, the mad pooper Bella, and all was good. 62 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: The drive was smooth, everything was great, got out of 63 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: the car. The weather seemed a little well, be in 64 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: the tent. What's the big deal. You're in the tent, 65 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: nothing going wrong. Now. My wife decided that me and 66 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: my buddy here, we would put the tent up while 67 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: she kept Bella in the car. So she didn't want 68 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: she she was worried Bella was going to attack something. 69 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: Last week, I bought a dog and I needed an emotion, 70 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: so it's like, fine, whatever, but what a pain in 71 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: the keys. It was a Murphy's law situation and UH 72 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: should have known better, and UH like a chicking time dog. Well, 73 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: not necessarily Bella, but it was one thing after another. 74 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: Because he got out of the car, I was kind 75 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: of overcast, felt like I was more in Wisconsin and 76 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: I was in Michigan. The wind was howling, the waves 77 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: were crashing down like big waves. Normally that beach that 78 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: we go to does not get a lot of big waves. 79 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: The tide was rising, but it wasn't that late in 80 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: the day, and I was like, what's going on here? 81 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: Is there a big storm coming in? And I didn't 82 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: know about so I checked my app and it said 83 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: there was nothing really big on the horizon. I'm gonna 84 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: say it. It is big enough. I'm not going to 85 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: enjoy it very much. So we opened up the tent 86 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: and I'm the tent guy, and me and my path 87 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: we're tempting to put the tent up, trying to hold 88 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: on to the damn thing. And the wind is really 89 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: starting to to gust at this point and pushing things around. 90 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: It was a perfect day to fly a kite, not 91 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: a perfect day to sit on the beach. But finally, 92 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: finally we were able to put the tent up as 93 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: the wind is pushing it around. And I've got a 94 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: whole system here, Danny. I've become very good at putting 95 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: up a beach tent. I went out, I got some 96 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: of these steaks. So I've got steaks that I put 97 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: in the sand and tie the thing down like I'm 98 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: going on. I'm going on. And I thought you were 99 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: talking about barbecuing. No, no, no no, I wish I had barbecue, 100 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: but no, no, no. So I've always said I'm tying 101 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: the thing down. The winds blowing it around, and like 102 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: I said, I should have brought a kite to the beach, 103 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: And so finally we got the tent up, but the 104 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: wind still being nasty and pushing the thing around, and 105 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: so we summoned the queen with Bella, and so Bella 106 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: comes over there, and uh, my wife loves the beach. 107 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: She loves the beach. One and we both liked the beach. 108 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: And she was not a fan of the weather, though 109 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: Dandy not a fan of the weather. It was very 110 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: upset with It was California, cool and windy. The tent 111 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: did not provide much shelter from the wind, was surprising. 112 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: You'd think it would, but it did not. Anyway, she 113 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: uh immediately realized this was a mistake and a short 114 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: time later ran back to get a giant parka like 115 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: one of those oversized parkas. Meanwhile, Bella, this is our 116 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: first time at the beach and many many years. We 117 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: took her a while ago, and she she started frosting 118 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: at the mouth like she was ready to have a 119 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: heart attack. She was so scared by the beach, and 120 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: so we took her back our dog. And then she 121 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: of course tried to attack all the birds on the beach. 122 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: And so we're trying to eat. The wind's blowing, it's cold, 123 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: the whole thing, and Bella starts trying to attack the birth, 124 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: but she's on a leash, so she can't do much. 125 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: It's a total poop show. And anyway, the jackiet did 126 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: not really work. The jacket didn't have work, Danny, and 127 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: so we ended up hurrying up scarfing down the food 128 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: that we brought as much as much of the food 129 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: as we could, and then we high tailed it get 130 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: out of there. But I ended up spending I did 131 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: the analysis on this, and using back of the napkin 132 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: Mallard math, I estimate Danny that we ended up I 133 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: spent more time messing around with the tent then we 134 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: actually spent sitting on the beach that I was like, 135 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: it was more to putting it up taking it down, 136 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: because taking it down presented another set of challenges because 137 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: the wind was still blowing and once you start taking 138 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: those steaks out and then then it becomes the degree 139 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: of difficulty goes up, up, up and away, just like 140 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: a kite would have done on that day. So that 141 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: was my my beach day last weekend, my fly a 142 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: kite situation. That's not good Mallard math right there. Now, 143 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: so we've determined if it's overcast and windy, the beach 144 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: is not a thing. The beach is not going to happen. Sorry, 145 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: not sorry. So on this one, the beach kaota us 146 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: and that's how that went. So pressing on from that 147 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: and we have the truk and all of it all, 148 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: h Danny. So, I I got a call from management 149 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: earlier this week at Fox Sports Rading. And I never 150 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: like getting calls during the day because they usually don't 151 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: bug me because they know I work at night and 152 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: I'm sleeping during the day. But I get a call, Hey, 153 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: call me when you wake up, and that's never a 154 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: good thing, right, Danny. Has it ever been a good thing? 155 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: Call me, call me and wake up. I hated those 156 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: calls when I was doing the early morning shift because 157 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: the message was always Hey, I know you're sleeping right now, 158 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: but when you wake up, please call uh. I'll be 159 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: in the office. Thank you. And you're like, yeah, you 160 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: can't tell. Is this good? Is this bad? In my experience, 161 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: it's never been good. They've never said hey, call me 162 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: when you wake up and said hey, we want to 163 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: give you some more money. We think you're doing such 164 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: a great job, but we really wanted to praise you 165 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: and celebrate you. That's never happened. I was like in 166 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: my head. I'm like going through the roll of decks 167 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: in my head. I'm like, what did I say? Uh? 168 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: And and I'm like, I didn't really say anything that 169 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: interesting that would get me in trouble. And I'm like, well, 170 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: what did Roberto say? What did Eddie say? What did 171 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: you know Coop say? I'm going through my my my head, 172 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: but not Coop. He was only there one day this 173 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: week at the beginning of the week, so I was like, well, 174 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: what's going on and all that stuff. So I'm trying 175 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: to think, like what is it? What is it? You know, 176 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: I'm going going back and forth and all this stuff, 177 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: and so if whatever, like I couldn't think anything. So 178 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: my guy, I gotta make a call and Scotch Pierre, 179 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: our boss. He's the one sent to text. So the 180 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: hammer came crashing down from corporate high level conversations. Has 181 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show been canceled? Well, obviously not. I'm here, 182 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: trust me, when the show gets canceled, I'm not doing 183 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm out. I'm out on the podcast. The 184 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: show is part of the podcast is part of the show, 185 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: so that's not it. But this was a bit of 186 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: shock at all Uh so, because I mentioned the winds, 187 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: the winds howling at the beach and me trying to 188 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: fly where the winds have changed blowing at Fox Sports Radio, 189 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: something that has been very consistent for over two years 190 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: is no longer going to be the place, going to 191 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: be in place, I should say. We got word at 192 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: the the Ben Mather Show will be leaving the north Woods. 193 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: We'll be saying bye bye to the north Woods at 194 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: least full time hybrid schedule. So I will be going 195 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: back into the radio station. So I'll be going back 196 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: in for a little bit. And uh, which means I'm 197 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: getting a pay cut, Danny, That's what that means. So 198 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: we'll pick and choose our spots. So that's the news. 199 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: But I listen, I'm excited to go back to the 200 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: radio station. I have great Mammu's there. She's just gonna 201 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: be across the board. So all the announcers, due to 202 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: COVID that we're doing everything from home, are they all 203 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: gonna be required to come in a little bit? I 204 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: was told yes. I was told yes that everyone that 205 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: I am part of a company wide mandate. So Jason Smith, 206 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: Mike Carmen, Rob Parker, all the guys that live within 207 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: somewhat of a I'd say reasonable driving distance, but in 208 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: l A, nothing's really reasonable. The price of the obscene 209 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: price of gas, and the People's Republic of California, I 210 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: say maybe. In my head, I'm like, well, if some 211 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: of these guys do the shows remotely from like far 212 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: away places, different states, I was like, Oh, if I 213 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: moved to uh, moved to another state, I won't have 214 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: to use the gas. I can just do the show 215 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: from home. But but anyway, so I'll get used to it. 216 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: I've been been used to doing the show from the 217 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: home studio and creature a habit. Yah, I'm a creature 218 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: a habit as most people are. I got my routine down, 219 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: and you still have your hybrid mallarmobile right, Well, that's 220 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: what the issue is. We have one hybrid mallonmobile. My wife, 221 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: who has a long commute to her work, she uses it. 222 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: So that means one of us is going to have 223 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: to be have to be driving the gascus uh, which 224 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: means I'll be spending a lot of time at Costco 225 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: buying Kirkland brand gas. So I got gas on Thursday 226 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: and it was almost twice what I thought I was 227 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: going to spend because now gas has ticked way back 228 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: up for us here what it was for maybe a 229 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: week or two that it went down by thirty cents 230 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: and now it's back up by fifty cents. Yeah, and 231 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: the summer is usually when gas prices are the highest 232 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: because people are driving all over the place during the summer. 233 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 1: But I did hear from a buddy of mine back east. 234 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: He said that the usage of gas in comparison to 235 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: normally at this time of the year is way down, 236 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: so people are not using as much gas, which is good. 237 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: That will hopefully encourage the robber barons of oil to 238 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: be more reasonable. But yeah, good luck, good luck on 239 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: on that. But I'll be I'll be doing that. So 240 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: we'll see how this goes. And see you out a 241 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: motorcycle very soon. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. How can 242 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: I what are what are the ways can I get? 243 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: I'm like electric bike, how far we're an electric bike? 244 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: I'm much further than see. That's the other thing I've 245 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: moved during the pandemic. I moved twice, moved to a 246 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: temporary Mallard mansion, then now in the north Woods, so 247 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: I'm much further way, much further way. In fact, I 248 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: I believe I am the answer to a Fox Sports 249 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: Radio CAREERIY question that I, once we all get back 250 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: into the studio, that I will have the longest commute 251 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: by far. I believe. I think it's me and Gottlieb. 252 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: Me and Doug Gottlieb have the longest commute. Do we 253 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: win an award for that or something like that? Is 254 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: there in like an award you can win for that? Wrong? 255 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: We need a Mallard moped. Yeah, we need a car 256 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: sponsorship as win we need That's where you get in 257 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: local radio. You know, I've not seen that at our place. 258 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: As far as those Manhattan bicycle plays, you know, the 259 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: guys on the bicycles in Manhattan, they get hit all 260 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: the time. People think that they know how to drive 261 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: their bike and they never get hit, and their experts 262 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: and everyone avoids each other. No, you just don't hear 263 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: about it. Those people get knocked over all the time, 264 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: and in Manhattan, it's just not highly publicized. So the 265 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: tough transition, Danny, the tough transition. What is this all about? Yeah, 266 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: so it was a a fun week at school and 267 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: in a strange week at school. Obviously, anybody who's in 268 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: education or works on a campus. The tragedy that happened 269 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: in Texas shook the world. The next day at school 270 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: was Wednesday, and it was an airy feeling right away 271 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: because there was a lot of police presents. And I'm 272 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: sure this happened at a lot of schools across the country. 273 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: But we saw a couple of sheriff vehicles up and 274 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: down the street. One stopped and posted himself up in 275 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: our school parking lot. And the dean of our school 276 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: told me, you know, I know you usually walk around 277 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: the campus. He's like, I'm gonna post you up right 278 00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: here by the gate. Then if they gave me firearms 279 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: to hold, I would have did it. You would be 280 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: packing a weapon. I hear you, man, Yeah, you were. 281 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: You were the muscle they had. I was. I was 282 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,479 Speaker 1: one of the two muscles at the gate. The microphone throttler. 283 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: So they make an announcement, you know. One of the 284 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: ladies who works in the office, got on the loudspeaker. 285 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: She asked everybody in the school to stand. Now, this 286 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: is a huge school. There's over a thousand students and 287 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: a large faculty. She asked everybody to stand. Um. They did. 288 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: The moment of silence, and she was choked up as 289 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: she was talking and trying to put into words what 290 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: she was trying to get across. And she's doing this 291 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: on an intercom system, so that had to have been hard. 292 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: And she's doing this in front of other people in 293 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: the main office, so she's almost crying as she's doing this. 294 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: And then it's over and the moment of silence is 295 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: over and she thanks everyone, and then seconds later, these 296 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: two kids come on intercom, laughing and saying, eighth trainers, 297 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: time to go get your celebration breakfast. And on one hand, 298 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: that's cerebral. On the other hand, that's great, right because 299 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: it don't give a ship. It's the adults. The kids 300 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: think they're invincible. They don't give a ship. It's the 301 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: adults that are all freaking out over this stuff. Yeah. Yeah. 302 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: And the sheriff he looked over at me and he said, well, 303 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: that was a tough transition future podcasters. Yes, right, yeah, 304 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: And it's exactly what I thought of. And I had 305 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: to laugh to myself because we've had this happened before, 306 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: where you need to tackle something serious and then what's 307 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: the cliche? What do we normally hear a broadcaster say well, 308 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: there's no easy way to transition from that. Happened recently 309 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: with Dwayne Haskins. Oh oh yeah, they're Dwayne Haskins. Yeah, 310 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: they would do a segment on it, and then they'd say, well, 311 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: there's no easy way to transition from that, so we'll 312 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: just go to break and come back with more. Well, 313 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: and the thing too, and I I made a strategic 314 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: decision on the show, like I didn't bring up the shooting. 315 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: I know, Jason, some of the other shows did a 316 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: whole you know, the whole show was about it, and 317 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: I didn't because I I've always felt like what we 318 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: do is niche, alternative programming. And I know in recent 319 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: years sports radio has become very political. Everything has become political, 320 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: but I still try to limit limit that, and I 321 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: I feel terrible for all those involved in and what happened. 322 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: Who doesn't, But I tried to give people an opportunity 323 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: to avoid the story and just talk about the nonsense 324 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: of whatever I was going on that particular day, and 325 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: people were trying to get me to get into it, 326 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: and I was like, well, what can what can I 327 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: really add to it other than hey, my thoughts are 328 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: with the people who were involved in this, and you know, 329 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: I'm doing an overnight sports talk radio show. As much 330 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: as I'd like to think we have the power to 331 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: end all bad stuff, I realized that is not the case. 332 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: And it's more an issue of why someone would get 333 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: to that point where they think that's a good idea. 334 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: And I don't even think people want to hear the 335 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: whole thoughts and prayers thing anymore. Yeah, that's been pretty 336 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: clear on the Internet lately, even with teams putting out 337 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: their statements that they usually get away with. You click 338 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: onto the comments and the first comments on there your 339 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: thoughts in prayer? Yeah. Yeah, And it's kind of like 340 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: those draft picks. It's yes, it's gotten, it's gotten to 341 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 1: that point. I'm glad that you stayed true to what 342 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: your show is because you're right. We do need alternate programming. 343 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: Alternative programming. That's it. That's alternative programming. We do need 344 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: other options. Because my girl, she's on the phone working 345 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: the other morning and she started watching coverage of what 346 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: was going on in Texas. It got her so emotional 347 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: she had to turn the TV off and she was like, 348 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: you know what, I can't. I couldn't. I had to 349 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: stop reading about the stories and watching the coverage because 350 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: I was I started crying. I got too emotional. I 351 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: had to find something else. Yeah, and the thing too 352 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: about it. And I have buddies of mine that work 353 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: in the news part of the media, friends I've had 354 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: for years. And there's so many of these, uh, these 355 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: damn shootings that they have it down to a science. Now. 356 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: It's like the it's the new circus that comes to town. 357 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: It's satellite trucks, it's the caravan comes in. They don't 358 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: have any elephants or animals. It's just people with microphones 359 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: and they come in. They set up a camp they 360 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: have usually in front of a center where the police 361 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: given news conferences every you know, a couple of times 362 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: a day. They stay around for three or four days, 363 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: depending how bad it is. They interview the uncles, the ants, 364 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: the relatives, anybody who's around, keep a comment, and then 365 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: they move on to something else. Yeah, And that's that's 366 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: how this it's it's crazy how robotic these things are. 367 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: Where where these these shootings take place, because the same 368 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: same series of events that happened where whether it's Buffalo 369 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: or San Antonio or whatever. They people show up, they 370 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: do their thing for a couple of days, and then 371 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: boom on in the next one. Yeah, we've all seen 372 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: that meme where it shows the arrows and it shows 373 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: the cycle of events that just keep going on over 374 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: and over. Um. So yeah, none of us have an 375 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: easy answer for it. And it's hard being in education 376 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: when something like that happens. And and then bad timing 377 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: for our school district because here we're walking the kids 378 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: up and down, preparing them for culmination, and it's supposed 379 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: to be a party time. As those two kids laughed 380 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: and made the announcement about their celebration breakfast, it broke 381 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: the tension. I almost thought, I was like, damn, what 382 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: are we all doing here today? Like this is gonna 383 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: be so somber and the kids are supposed to be 384 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: practicing their their graduation. But then they get on and 385 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: they're laughing and they're you know, and as normal as 386 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: it could be for kids. They we're having fun with 387 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: their breakfast. So I was happy to see that. In 388 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: big props to your l A Rams because when I 389 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: went on my lunch, they were down the street at 390 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: another school in my district and they had planned a 391 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: place sixty event for one of the days this past 392 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: week and they held their schedule. They went set it up. 393 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: There were hundreds of kids wearing the white Rams NFL shirts. 394 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: Your mascot, what is the rampage? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. 395 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: He was running around with the kids on the big field. Yeah. 396 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: They had their big Rams blow ups and kids were 397 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: trying to kick field goals and so it was nice 398 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: to see something normal going on. Um, although that was 399 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: above and beyond normal. Somebody there at that school must 400 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: know somebody, right, Yeah, that's that's yeah, because you have 401 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: to not every not ever. Your school obviously gets that. 402 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: You only select schools get that action. So that's the Rams. 403 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: What player has a kid at that school? The Rams? Though, 404 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: that's if I'm if I'm owning the Rams, and I'm like, listen, 405 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: I love the Rams, but there's not a lot and 406 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: it's it's a lot of old people that grew up 407 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: with the Rams, but they for twenty years, an entire 408 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: generation grew up without the Rams in l A. If 409 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: I own the team, I'm like, okay, I'm gonna spend 410 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: all my money on marketing at elementary schools because those kids, 411 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: within twenty five years, they will be the ones that 412 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: are having kids, and they'll be the ones that are 413 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 1: out buying tickets to games and things like that. And 414 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: so you can't really do anything about the guys that 415 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: are in their twenties and thirties now cause they grew 416 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: up without football, without the rams. But that next generation, 417 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: m Night, from a marketing standpoint, you can absolutely absolutely 418 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: do it, alright, So the moving on. We've got the 419 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: witches brew. The last week, I had a few issues. 420 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: Now I didn't say anything on the air. I kept 421 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: my gums moving. However, I had a massive toothache most 422 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: of the week. And I know things come up and 423 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: I don't really make a big deal about it, but 424 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: this is like really bad and I don't normally have 425 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: these things as an abnormal situation. Uh, And it was 426 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: very unusual, and I was like, well, what's going on here? 427 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: And I was told a few years ago, right before 428 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: the pandemic started, I had gone to the dentist and 429 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,719 Speaker 1: they had said, you know, you need to have some 430 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: work done. It's not pressing right now, but it needs 431 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: to get done. But then the pandemic happened and everything 432 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: went on the back part. So I guess my io 433 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: user coming due but that's not the story. So I 434 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: I explained to my my wife's like, I'm having some 435 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: issues here. I had like I had a toothache which 436 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: became an ear ache. It was all this stuff and 437 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: I was not doing well. And she randomly mentioned she says, 438 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: you know, I, why don't you try this this magical 439 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: witches brew. And it was the most simple thing and 440 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: something that I used in the past. And it's a 441 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: thing where when I used this particular thing with my toothache, 442 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: I gargled this thing and abra cadabra, focus, focus pressed out. 443 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: My tooth pain vanished within five minutes. And it's just 444 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: hydrogen peroxide. Wow, that's all it was, was hydrogen peroxide. 445 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: And I gargle with that and then it's stung like 446 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: a murder hornet. And I'm not gonna sit here and 447 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: say that it was the most pleasant experience of my life, 448 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: because it was not. But the pain that had been 449 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: there from the tooth had gone away. It worked and 450 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: it has not come back, so that's good. But I 451 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: know that's only a temporary solution. At some point, there's 452 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: something that needs to be taken and moved around, and 453 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: all that stuff in the old mouth. The problem is this, 454 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: as you know doing radio Danny, you have some dental 455 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: work done. It's depending on what's done. You're down for 456 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: the count for a period of time typically. So yeah, 457 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: that sounds like a brown bottle band aid. Yeah, pretty much, 458 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: pretty much. I know I have to have something done. 459 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what, and I'm hopeful I can get 460 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: it done whatever it is on some some Friday coming up. 461 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: That way, I can have the weekend to have misery. 462 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: Oh no, it would be like Shaquille O'Neil. Right, just 463 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: do it on company time. You had no offseason workouts? Yeah, 464 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: workout on company time. Dentist on company time, that'd be great. 465 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: One of the nights you're in the studio physically, you 466 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: should have the dentist come to you. Oh yeah, I 467 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: can do it on the air. That's a great idea. 468 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: We can make it a bit on the show. In fact, 469 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: if there's a dentist listening that would like to come 470 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: in and be a celebrity dentist on the show, let 471 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: me know that would be that would be great and 472 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: be absolutely wonderful. They would need like an assistant with 473 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: some of their equipment and all that could be noisy, 474 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: But I got a tattoo live on the air one time. Really, 475 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: yeah it was. It was noisy, but it worked. Were 476 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: you concerned that the tattoo artists might be distracted by 477 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: the radio stuff and mess up the tattoo a little bit? 478 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: But they were also filming him for the radio station's website, 479 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: so I was hoping that he was showing off. Okay, yeah, 480 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: so good for me. Yeah you want I'm impressing, trying 481 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: to impress someone exactly.
