Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air Everywhere, The Extra Crunchy, extra Spicy Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Me, Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio. As
Speaker 1: we are in the air everywhere. The power of the pod,
Speaker 1: the power of the pod, the global reach of podcasting.
Speaker 1: Eight days a week, eight days a week, fresh original
Speaker 1: audio content which might even be mildly entertaining, every single
Speaker 1: day of the week. We thank you for being a
Speaker 1: supporter of the podcast. And if you missed the Friday podcast,
Speaker 1: the big announcement, the Malor Meet and Greet, first Malord
Speaker 1: Meet and Greet of twenty twenty four and the first
Speaker 1: one ever in the South below the Mason Dixon Line.
Speaker 1: We'll be in South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina. So if
Speaker 1: you're in Myrtle Beach or Wilmington, South Carolina. It's not
Speaker 1: that far away from those places, and if you want
Speaker 1: to drive a little further, I'm not sure what's south
Speaker 1: of Charleston, but check it out. So we'll be there.
Speaker 1: Details on yesterday's pod, but Danny g is hanging out
Speaker 1: with me as we get the Partey started. There was
Speaker 1: a pretty big story in our business that didn't get
Speaker 1: too much attention. I don't We didn't talk about it
Speaker 1: on the Overnight show because it's more of an industry story.
Speaker 1: But I thought this was a massive deal because it's
Speaker 1: something that I've had to deal with my entire time
Speaker 1: in radio, and it appears I will not have to
Speaker 1: deal with it anymore. Did you see, Danny, that the
Speaker 1: Federal Trade Commission voted to approve a new rule that
Speaker 1: will ban non compete clauses in contracts.
Speaker 3: This is something that radio dudes and TV guys have
Speaker 3: had to deal with for years.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is a nightmare. Every contract I've ever had,
Speaker 1: everywhere I've ever worked, they say, if we ever get
Speaker 1: rid of you, you are not allowed to work at
Speaker 1: another radio station in competing station for a year or
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it's six months, but usually the ones
Speaker 1: I've had is a year. And if you're off the
Speaker 1: air for a year, out of sight, out of mind,
Speaker 1: good luck finding a job after that. It's very difficult,
Speaker 1: and it's really stupid because if a station, a radio
Speaker 1: station gets rid of you, they don't think you're a
Speaker 1: good enough talent. They don't think you're making them money.
Speaker 1: So why would you care if that person went to
Speaker 1: another a station down the hall from you, down the
Speaker 1: street from you, Like, who cares?
Speaker 3: This would be like if an NFL team cuts you
Speaker 3: and then you couldn't play in the league for a year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had to sit out of here. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: like Patrick Mahomes got released by the Chiefs and he
Speaker 1: couldn't go sign with the Raiders. He had to sit
Speaker 1: out a year and then then he could come back.
Speaker 1: They estimate it's not official yet. By the way, it's
Speaker 1: going to take one hundred and twenty days or so
Speaker 1: for the reversal to take effect. But when it does,
Speaker 1: they claim that this will increase workers' salaries by three
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars annually. That sounds like bullshit to me,
Speaker 1: but that's what they're saying. I read about this this week,
Speaker 1: and it really is more important for what we do
Speaker 1: for a living. But that's a big deal, is a
Speaker 1: massive deal. It's one of it's one of those things.
Speaker 4: Dan.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the blackout rules on television for
Speaker 1: baseball and basketball and whatnot, where I'm sorry, you're not
Speaker 1: allowed to watch that broadcast. You're restricted. It's just stupid.
Speaker 3: It blocked me from a good program director job years back.
Speaker 1: Well, Honey, I've extended our line of credit.
Speaker 3: There was nothing we could do about it back in
Speaker 3: the day. So it's good that it's hopefully going to
Speaker 3: be changing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's it's wonderful and it'll be grave and
Speaker 1: I'm not looking to go anywhere. I don't think you
Speaker 1: are either. But if something were to happen, we wouldn't
Speaker 1: have to sit out for a year, and we'd be
Speaker 1: able to be right back, right back in the game.
Speaker 4: At the top. Man, there is no competition for Fox
Speaker 4: Sports Radio. Really. I'm bringing that off a que card.
Speaker 1: By the way, did Don Did Don give you that?
Speaker 1: Or Scott? Which one gave you that?
Speaker 4: I'm not sure any he gave me the card.
Speaker 1: Oh, Danny, you got to read this on Ben's podcast verbatim.
Speaker 1: Read it verbatim don't mess a word. Well, Marconi would
Speaker 1: be pressed. And today being the twenty seventh of April,
Speaker 1: the Saturday, it is International Marconi Day. How are you
Speaker 1: celebrating International Marconi Day to day? Danny, do you have any.
Speaker 4: I'm doing a Marconi Worthy podcast.
Speaker 1: Well, this is kind of funny because Marconi's birthday is
Speaker 1: actually on April twenty fifth, So why are we having
Speaker 1: Marconi Day today? It's International Marconi Day. It's the way
Speaker 1: it works. Is observed annually on the Saturday closest to
Speaker 1: April twenty fifth, which is his birthdate. So here we go.
Speaker 1: He he is credited with the invention of the radio
Speaker 1: telegraph system, Marconi's Law, and sending the first wireless transmission
Speaker 1: over the open sea back in the back in the day,
Speaker 1: so you can think, I think Marconian. He had no
Speaker 1: idea about what any of the Internet or it exists.
Speaker 1: But he was born in eighteen seventy four. He got
Speaker 1: the radio wave patent in eighteen ninety six, so he's
Speaker 1: twenty two years old, and then in nineteen oh one
Speaker 1: he's twenty seven. Cross the ace. He created the mechanism
Speaker 1: that transmitted radio waves over the Atlantic Ocean first time,
Speaker 1: ever between England and Newfoundland which is now part of Canada.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so I mean there's some random, random pun
Speaker 1: facts on today's pod. We've got the Magic Man, Old Hollywood,
Speaker 1: some other things as well. I want to start with this.
Speaker 1: I posted some photos on the Graham and on Facebook.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw them this past week.
Speaker 1: I think on Monday. I forget what day. Monday was,
Speaker 1: the day I went to the DMV, So I think
Speaker 1: while I was online at the DMV, I was playing
Speaker 1: around with my phone and I think I sent a
Speaker 1: bunch of photos and that is I'll give you the
Speaker 1: inside skinny on that. So I was upside down in
Speaker 1: these photos. Some people thought I was photoshopped into these.
Speaker 1: I was not photoshopped into those photos. That comes Danny
Speaker 1: from one of the coolest places I have been to
Speaker 1: in a while. It's a lot of fun and I
Speaker 1: recommend it. It's kind of pricey, but it's fun. It's
Speaker 1: good time, good date place. I think there's a few
Speaker 1: of these around the country. Have you ever been to
Speaker 1: the Museum of Illusions. No, Yeah, it's in Hollywood, in
Speaker 1: the hood in Hollywood. I stepped over human shit, human piss,
Speaker 1: and then we're around some homeless people and there is
Speaker 1: the World of Illusions. It's a new improved World Illusions.
Speaker 1: It's a fully immersive experience Dady like no other you'll
Speaker 1: go to. And it's got four different parts of the museum.
Speaker 1: Of course, they charge for all four, and it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: You can put yourself in the Giant House where they
Speaker 1: have these massive oversized coffee cups and shoes. And I
Speaker 1: think I'll post some more photos today to accompany this
Speaker 1: podcast from the Giant House, but I sent some photos
Speaker 1: from the Upside Down House, which is really cool. You
Speaker 1: walk around this museum and you are in rooms that
Speaker 1: are literally upside down, like the refrigerator is on the ceiling,
Speaker 1: the toilet is on the ceiling, and you're on the
Speaker 1: floor which is now the ceiling when you take the photo,
Speaker 1: and it's pretty pretty well. So the Upside Down House,
Speaker 1: which I love, That was my favorite, the Giant House,
Speaker 1: which was pretty cool, and then they had this one
Speaker 1: which is like you stand in front of these photos
Speaker 1: and it's kind of it makes you seem like you're
Speaker 1: in the the artwork.
Speaker 4: Did you wash your hand after you touch the toilet?
Speaker 1: No, I licked the toilet what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: But it's looking right in the middle of Hollywood, right
Speaker 1: across from the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum. Guy was.
Speaker 1: I got down the street a little bit there in Hollywood,
Speaker 1: so I went with the wife and this is a
Speaker 1: museum that would not exist without Instagram, would not exist
Speaker 1: without social media. And it's it's pretty cool. I think
Speaker 1: it's twelve.
Speaker 3: I've seen some pop ups that are similar where the
Speaker 3: whole point is to take pictures for social media.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's different. I was looking for something to
Speaker 1: do and I thought that would be something I hadn't done,
Speaker 1: to be kind of unique, so why not. And I
Speaker 1: told our friend Lorraine Yeah, that she should take her
Speaker 1: daughter there and kind of hang out. She's big on
Speaker 1: the socials.
Speaker 4: So too short to touch the toilet though.
Speaker 1: The other thing about that now I mentioned, you know,
Speaker 1: the magic and all that, and I'll post some more photos.
Speaker 1: I'll try to remember do that today. After that, since
Speaker 1: we were in Hollywood, my wife had made reservations at
Speaker 1: the oldest restaurant in Hollywood. Do you know what the
Speaker 1: oldest restaurant in Hollywood is? Daddy Hommy's Tommy's. It probably
Speaker 1: is no. We went to Musso and Franks. You ever
Speaker 1: been to Musso and Frank's Grill in Hollywood?
Speaker 4: Never been?
Speaker 1: I'd never been either. I thought I had been there,
Speaker 1: but i'd been to Miss Ellie's, which is across the street.
Speaker 1: I thought that was Musso and Franks. I had never
Speaker 1: been there. This restaurant dates back to nineteen ninety. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're in Boston or New York or Philadelphia or
Speaker 1: someplace that's been around for a while, he's like, ah,
Speaker 1: there's stuff here from the seventeen hundreds. But in California,
Speaker 1: there's not too much that's around that's older than that.
Speaker 1: So this thing opened in nineteen nineteen. It's the oldest
Speaker 1: restaurant in Hollywood. Said to be the genesis of Hollywood.
Speaker 1: That's their big marketing slogan. And it isn't much different
Speaker 1: than it was when it opened. And they have a
Speaker 1: back room for the Hollywood crowd that comes in there,
Speaker 1: but a lot of the big stars I'm talking this
Speaker 1: is a place where Charlie Chaplin ate at Humphrey Bogart, Sinatra,
Speaker 1: Marlon Brando, big stars back in those days, Marilyn Monroe.
Speaker 4: So is their food in Black and White.
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. Orson Wells was somebody that ate there, and
Speaker 1: they claim that even now there's still like Johnny Depp,
Speaker 1: George Clooney, people like that. Well, we'll still still eat there.
Speaker 1: I don't know, It's fine. It was nice. I actually
Speaker 1: enjoyed the food. I didn't think I was going to
Speaker 1: enjoy it because this is a tourist trap. And then
Speaker 1: the thing that I like most forget about. Marlon Brando,
Speaker 1: Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe, hughle Hauser did an episode of
Speaker 1: visiting with hughl Houser with was this guy on PBS
Speaker 1: when I was a kid and we mocked him on
Speaker 1: California's Goal.
Speaker 4: That was a cool show.
Speaker 1: It was cool.
Speaker 4: It was around the edges, but it was endearing because
Speaker 4: of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he went there. He did an episode and
Speaker 1: I read online. I did not realize this before I
Speaker 1: went to Musso and Frank, but I read online that
Speaker 1: it is listed as one of the thousand places to
Speaker 1: see before you die. Those lists are always dangerous, Danny,
Speaker 1: because when you get a list, what if you get
Speaker 1: everything on the list, then you're ready to die kill ourselves.
Speaker 1: The only complaint I would have at Musso and Frank
Speaker 1: is that everything is like kind of o la carte.
Speaker 1: You get a meal if you want the fetichini alfredo,
Speaker 1: and you want a side of something else, like potatoes.
Speaker 1: Everything is ola carte. And I was thinking about pulling
Speaker 1: a Mallor there, Danny, where I would just like storm out,
Speaker 1: but I actually my wife wanted to eat there, so
Speaker 1: we stayed. But I almost pulled a Mallor and just
Speaker 1: like walked out. I'll walk out if they don't have
Speaker 1: chips at a Mexican restaurant, or they don't provide free
Speaker 1: bread at an Italian restaurant. They did provide this an
Speaker 1: Italian restaurant, Musso. In fact, they didn't provide the bread,
Speaker 1: so I stayed.
Speaker 4: I did, in fact pull a Mallard.
Speaker 3: Now on yesterday's podcast, we talked about your DMV adventures. Yeah, well,
Speaker 3: I also went to a website thinking I'm not going
Speaker 3: to drive over there in person to get an official
Speaker 3: document from the State of California. I'm just going to
Speaker 3: do it online. Coming up is the annual Bass Lake
Speaker 3: Fishing Derby talked about this on the PO podcast before
Speaker 3: Where go there and meet up with my pops and
Speaker 3: my older brother and don't catch anything, but pay lots
Speaker 3: of money to participate. So we have it down to
Speaker 3: a science now, Ben everybody needs their one day fishing license,
Speaker 3: but not all of us are going to pay that
Speaker 3: stupid registration fee because we figure if one of us
Speaker 3: is lucky enough to catch a ten thousand dollars baths,
Speaker 3: we'll just hand it over to the person who has
Speaker 3: the registration paid.
Speaker 1: Sure makes sense, yeah.
Speaker 3: And just give them a little cut of the winnings.
Speaker 3: But you do need that phishing license. So normally I
Speaker 3: go to Big five Sporting Goods, which out here on
Speaker 3: the West Coast is like one of our shops where
Speaker 3: you can get a one day sport fishing license.
Speaker 1: I did not know that. You're telling me something I.
Speaker 4: Did not know.
Speaker 1: I didn't walk in there and get a little fishing license.
Speaker 1: It's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like one of the few places here to
Speaker 3: do that. I was getting ready for for the weekend
Speaker 3: because my wife, he had mentioned to me when we
Speaker 3: were at Disneyland last weekend. She said, you know, it's
Speaker 3: good that we booked Disneyland this weekend because you're going
Speaker 3: to be gone fishing next weekend.
Speaker 4: She said that A couple.
Speaker 3: Different times, and I was like, all right, and my
Speaker 3: older brother had been bombarding me with text messages about
Speaker 3: the fishing trip. In my mind, it's like coming up,
Speaker 3: it's Saturday, It's Saturday. I got to get ready for this.
Speaker 3: I get online California's website for the Department of Fish
Speaker 3: and Wildlife. Well, I've never done this online. Let me
Speaker 3: figure it out, and I see it in all read
Speaker 3: it says all sales are final. Put in all my information.
Speaker 3: I order the one day phishing license for Saturday, which
Speaker 3: would be today, and it's twenty one bucks. I'm like, okay, whatever,
Speaker 3: I order it. I put in my credit card information. Boom,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, man, I'm ready to go. Then about
Speaker 3: an hour later, I see a text message from my
Speaker 3: older brother, May fourth right coming up in a couple
Speaker 3: of weekends.
Speaker 1: Oh no, oh, you.
Speaker 3: Got to be shitting me. Immediately, I blame my wife
Speaker 3: and I text her, why did you tell me next
Speaker 3: weekend I was gonna be gone. Yeah, yeah, the first
Speaker 3: weekend of May. And I'm like, yeah, that's not this
Speaker 3: weekend coming up. So I realized, shit, I paid this
Speaker 3: twenty one dollars to get the stupid fishing pass.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It's the wrong Saturday, idiot.
Speaker 3: Then I think back to that all red in capitals,
Speaker 3: like somebody was yelling at me on social media, Zach,
Speaker 3: I wonder if that's real, Like, can I not adjust
Speaker 3: this stupid day pass that I'm not gonna use or
Speaker 3: I haven't used.
Speaker 4: I do what most.
Speaker 3: People probably try to do if I call the phone
Speaker 3: number listed for their contact. Nice lady answers and she says, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: we get this complaint. A lot called me sweetie. She
Speaker 3: was an older lady, and I'm like, this is not
Speaker 3: a good sign. She sounds like she's ninety.
Speaker 1: Slarting with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she says, sweetie, even though we're the California Department
Speaker 3: of Fishing Wildlife, can't help you.
Speaker 4: Website we use is ran by a third party.
Speaker 1: Oh no, she said.
Speaker 3: We can't even get in there and adjust anything inside
Speaker 3: that site.
Speaker 1: Ah, that sucks.
Speaker 3: So what I'm like, Oh, so I told her, Well,
Speaker 3: if you know, a game warden comes up on our
Speaker 3: boat and wants to see my pass and I show
Speaker 3: it to him, I'm guessing he wouldn't take my explanation.
Speaker 3: He would just give me a ticket. And she's like,
Speaker 3: you guessed right, So She's like, I do have one suggestion, though,
Speaker 3: and she rambled off a PO box in Sacramento. She said,
Speaker 3: print out your current license that's the wrong date. Put
Speaker 3: it in an envelope, sweetie, send it over to this
Speaker 3: Sacramento PO box, and if they're feeling nice, they might
Speaker 3: send you a refund. But you do need to repurchase
Speaker 3: another one. Do I just purchase another twenty one dollars
Speaker 3: pass and mail this thing off to Sacramento? Do I
Speaker 3: just take a chance and go live on the edge
Speaker 3: with my fishing pass that's for the wrong day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would not if you have a chance of
Speaker 1: actually winning the money. Yeah, you gotta.
Speaker 3: If I did pull that fish up that has money
Speaker 3: attached to it, somebody else would have to claim it regardless.
Speaker 1: All right, So it's twenty one bucks. How much is
Speaker 1: a ticket? If you got ticketed? How much is a ticket?
Speaker 4: And I don't know.
Speaker 1: You got to look that up. If you don't have
Speaker 1: a fishing license, what's the penalty? Twenty one bucks? Is like,
Speaker 1: it's not that much, but that's a meal, right.
Speaker 4: Exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 3: I bought something on offer up the following day for
Speaker 3: thirty bucks. That kind of thing sticks in your craw
Speaker 3: because you're like, damn it, man, what I wasted the
Speaker 3: day before?
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, for sure, now you could do. I work
Speaker 1: with a guy years ago Fox Sworts Radio. I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened to him, but he would always drive
Speaker 1: in the carpool lane, and every once in a while
Speaker 1: he would get a ticket for driving in the carpooling.
Speaker 1: But he did the cost benefit analysis and he's like, well,
Speaker 1: I've only gotten two tickets, and I drive in the
Speaker 1: carpool lane every day. And I've driven in the carpoolane
Speaker 1: every day for ten years, and I've gotten two tickets.
Speaker 1: So if you look at how much I've paid in
Speaker 1: tickets and then how often I've saved time in driving
Speaker 1: in the carpoolane, it's worth it.
Speaker 4: I just googled the penalty.
Speaker 1: How much is the penalty is?
Speaker 3: If you are found guilty of fishing without a license
Speaker 3: in the state of California, the punishment is a fine
Speaker 3: of between one hundred dollars to one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Wow, you're gonna pay the money. You're gonna be a
Speaker 1: riverboat gambler.
Speaker 4: Literally, not sure?
Speaker 3: Man, tweet me at Danny G Radio. Let me know
Speaker 3: what you would do. I'm not sure how to deal
Speaker 3: with this. Do I just spend the twenty one and
Speaker 3: it's a forty two dollars fishing license?
Speaker 4: What a waste of money? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And the tip is also the life act is when
Speaker 1: you get a fishing license. Even though it's very convenient
Speaker 1: to go to the sporting good store, it's a third party.
Speaker 1: So the woman made it seem to me that she
Speaker 1: implied that if you went through them, she'd be able
Speaker 1: to change.
Speaker 3: She said, had I gone to Big Five like I
Speaker 3: normally too, they could have canceled the sale and made
Speaker 3: it for the right date. So I totally screwed up
Speaker 3: by trying to have convenience and trying to do it online.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, he's in complete denial. We have the idiom of
Speaker 1: the week. Are you ready for the idiom of the week?
Speaker 4: Idiom of the.
Speaker 1: Week not to be confused with idiot of the week,
Speaker 1: the idiom of the week. This was actually sent in
Speaker 1: by Scott in Northern Kentucky. He said, Hey, Ben, can
Speaker 1: you do a deep dive on brass tacks?
Speaker 4: The idiom?
Speaker 1: Get down to brass? Tax it actually? People say tax
Speaker 1: it's taxed or tax is actually the way it is,
Speaker 1: and this goes back many many years, as all these
Speaker 1: things do. There's an interesting quirk to this one, though,
Speaker 1: because tax and nails were made of metals, but tax
Speaker 1: tacks have flatheads. And there's some different versions of how
Speaker 1: this came about. Brass tax, get down to brass tax.
Speaker 1: One of my favorites that I saw was the early
Speaker 1: days of America. And there's a theory that in America,
Speaker 1: originally they used coffin tax and when President Lincoln's coffin
Speaker 1: was designed after he was assassinated at the Ford Theater,
Speaker 1: it was designed with massive silver tax thacks and it
Speaker 1: was very unique and it was decorated with the brass
Speaker 1: tax as well. And the theory is that that is
Speaker 1: where the phrase get down to brass tax came from.
Speaker 1: It's now common expression, but that version dates back to
Speaker 1: the eighteen sixties. And when you come down to brass tax,
Speaker 1: if we may be allowed, the expression, everybody is governed
Speaker 1: by selfishness, which is rather rather than confusing. A few
Speaker 1: years after that there was an article published that said
Speaker 1: coming down to brass tacks. According to the writer, it
Speaker 1: meant coming down to the serious business of death. Like
Speaker 1: President Lincoln so I like that theory. Kind of unique
Speaker 1: and why not. So we're going with that. There's other
Speaker 1: theories that are out there that are different. But I
Speaker 1: like the American original origin story that it has to
Speaker 1: do with President Lincoln being assassinated, and that's where that
Speaker 1: phrase comes to, getting down to serious business or death,
Speaker 1: coming down to brass tacks. We have a little time.
Speaker 1: Let's get to Danny. Let's see some Pop Goes the Culture?
Speaker 4: Ohio, John.
Speaker 1: John, thank you, thank you, thank you, al And what
Speaker 1: is up first? Here on Pop Goes the Culture? So
Speaker 1: many stories and so little time. I thought this one
Speaker 1: was interesting from Jerry Seinfeld. He is getting absolutely roasted
Speaker 1: for tearing down modern day films. The movie business. Jerry
Speaker 1: Seinfeld said, the movie business is over, he said, and
Speaker 1: this upset people who yes, work in the movie business.
Speaker 1: But Seinfeld is not wrong. He went on a rant
Speaker 1: recently with GQ magazine and he said, Hey, Liz, this
Speaker 1: is this is not this is not a good situation.
Speaker 1: It's just not film business is dead. It's buried, he said.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: The reason people think this is kind of amusing is
Speaker 1: he made the declaration while promoting a film that will
Speaker 1: premiere on Netflix. In a couple of weeks. So he
Speaker 1: was doing media to promote a film while saying the
Speaker 1: film is business is terrible. He's going to make his
Speaker 1: directorial debut on May third, something called Unfrosted will drop
Speaker 1: on Netflix. I have no idea what that is. Apparently
Speaker 1: some big name actors and that I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I'm sure my wife will watch it. She'll let me
Speaker 1: know if it's good or not, and all that. But
Speaker 1: the part of the rant, which I thought is just
Speaker 1: wonderful is the part where he tore down the film
Speaker 1: industry because I only he's wrong. He said, they don't
Speaker 1: have any idea that the movie business is over. They
Speaker 1: have no idea. He said, film does not occupy the
Speaker 1: pinnacle and the social cultural hierarchy that it did for
Speaker 1: most of our lives. He said, when a movie came out,
Speaker 1: if it was good, we all went to see it,
Speaker 1: We all discussed it, We quoted lines and scenes we liked.
Speaker 1: Now we're walking through a fire hose of water just
Speaker 1: trying to see. He claimed.
Speaker 3: Our parents and grandparents sat in lines of cars to
Speaker 3: go to drive in theaters around the country.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they also wanted to make out in the
Speaker 1: car though you know it was part of the deal,
Speaker 1: but were born. Yeah, the point of conception. But he's
Speaker 1: he's so right on that. I quote a lot lot
Speaker 1: of movies, and I mentioned different random things and monologues,
Speaker 1: but I don't mention any movie from the last probably
Speaker 1: fifteen years at least, maybe longer than that. I think
Speaker 1: it's been about fifteen years since movies really really got bad.
Speaker 1: I just don't do it. And some people say, well,
Speaker 1: it's because you're a boomer. It's like, no, if a
Speaker 1: movie is good and there's a good line in it,
Speaker 1: I'll quote it. It's just it was like a big
Speaker 1: to do to go to the show. I remember my
Speaker 1: aunt loved to go to the show. It was a
Speaker 1: big deal, and my mom would drop us off at
Speaker 1: the movie theater. We thought we were like the coolest
Speaker 1: kids in the world. We'd buy one ticket and just
Speaker 1: hang out for eight hours at the movie theater watching
Speaker 1: different movies. But it's not like that, right Obviously.
Speaker 3: Our go to move was my mom would drop us
Speaker 3: off at the movie. I think there was like one
Speaker 3: day a week where it was like a cheaper price.
Speaker 4: Do you remember that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was like early in the week Monday
Speaker 1: or Tuesday or.
Speaker 3: Something like that, like Tuesday movies or something. And so
Speaker 3: during the summer, she'd drop us off at a Tuesday
Speaker 3: afternoon movie. My older brother would take me into the
Speaker 3: rated R movie across the hall and then would rehearse
Speaker 3: the lie with me about what the PG movie was
Speaker 3: all about?
Speaker 1: Salid, did you ever have to use that information?
Speaker 4: For sure?
Speaker 3: Because my mom would quizzes, so what was the movie about?
Speaker 3: And my brother would then elbow me and I'd have
Speaker 3: to repeat my rehearsed lines.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, all right, that's good, that's solid, that's good teamwork.
Speaker 1: That's brother helping brother. That's what that is. Oh I
Speaker 1: like this story. A actor from Family Guy has revealed
Speaker 1: his parents hate the show and they would like to
Speaker 1: show off the air. Keep in mind, this guy has
Speaker 1: worked on Family Guy as a voice actor for twenty
Speaker 1: five years and he is the voice of Joe Swanson
Speaker 1: on the cartoon Family Guy. And he said his parents
Speaker 1: hate it. They do not want him on the show.
Speaker 1: They want the show to be canceled. He claimed that
Speaker 1: his it's because of his parents' backgrounds. His father was
Speaker 1: in a monastery for three months. He almost became a monk,
Speaker 1: and he said his mom, when he was like thirteen
Speaker 1: years old, passed out pamphlets on the sins of masturbation.
Speaker 1: Pummel him with your powerful fists of female fury. They
Speaker 1: don't like the humor. That's great, man alive. What else
Speaker 1: do we have? Let's see do that, And I think, well,
Speaker 1: I think we'll ended there. I mean there's some other stuff.
Speaker 1: I think we'll ended there. And anything you want to promote, Danny.
Speaker 1: It is Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, got day baseball today,
Speaker 1: NBA playoffs, playoffs, and the final day of the NFL Draft.
Speaker 4: We didn't get to.
Speaker 3: Talk about my Raiders selecting Bowers and how that means
Speaker 3: Minshew is going to have playing time. So I actually
Speaker 3: kind of like the fact that Bowers fell down to thirteen.
Speaker 3: You know, obviously some Raider fans wanted Pennix Junior. I
Speaker 3: even talked about him. But you know, after every after
Speaker 3: the dust settled, I was like, well, you know what,
Speaker 3: Minshew with weapons around him.
Speaker 4: I kind of liked that.
Speaker 1: Look at you, you're putting a sugar coat, a coat
Speaker 1: of sugar on the on the Raider pick.
Speaker 3: You know, if you weren't able to trade up to
Speaker 3: get Jaden Daniels and reattach him to Antonio Pierce. Not
Speaker 3: taking a lineman or like an edge guy that would
Speaker 3: be a bust or something like that. I kind of
Speaker 3: liked that they took the best player available.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you took the top tight end in the draft.
Speaker 1: Whether he's good or not, that's a different conversation, but
Speaker 1: at least you got the top tight end.
Speaker 3: I actually like who your rams took too, because he
Speaker 3: also was a guy that would have went a lot
Speaker 3: higher had that draft not been chocked full of quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: Was it really historically a great quarterback draft?
Speaker 4: Though we don't know yet, Well know in three years, but.
Speaker 1: I bet your dollars to donuts.
Speaker 4: No history and statistics say no.
Speaker 1: Well, three of the guys a couple months ago were
Speaker 1: projected as second or third round picks, and they were
Speaker 1: all drafted in the top twelve of the draft.
Speaker 4: I mean, what is that looking to hit a Mahomes
Speaker 4: home run? Yeah, my homer.
Speaker 1: As with Mahomes, the people were questioning Mahomes when he
Speaker 1: was drafted, like I put up fake stats at Texas
Speaker 1: Tech and he ran a gimmicky offense. And yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: I have a wonderful Saturday. We got the mail bag.
Speaker 1: Mail bag on Sunday. We will chat with you then
Speaker 1: later Skater my flation
