22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: talking about America's best jingles of all time. I know

23
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 3: You're a jingle guy, I love jingle. We brought that

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 3: up number one radio station jingles TV commercials all that.

25
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 3: There was actually a national radio campaign in the late nineties.

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: It was for corn nuts. Do you remember this. They

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: sang bust a nut, bust a nut. And I don't

28
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: think that that would be okay to play on the

29
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 3: radio right now. I don't know how they got away

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 3: with it back then.

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: Now, if you want to have fun and totally nerd

32
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: yourself out on YouTube, there's a portal you can go

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: in that's nothing but old jingles.

34
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: Oh, I love it.

35
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: It is so awesome. And I always ring this up

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: when we talk about jingles because I'm a radio nerd

37
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: and we've talked about this before. Clayton Kershaw's father, Yeah,

38
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: made his living composing radio jingles.

39
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: He was museum. I brought that up on the show.

40
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: They had not none of them knew about that.

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great fun fact. Clayton Kerschel's father passed

42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: away about, you know, ten years ago, but he was

43
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: a He was a composer of jingles for radio stations.

44
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: And there's what you had a name shout, So did I.

45
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 3: Right before everything went digital. We had these carts and

46
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: it set our name on it. It's a jingle shout

47
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: and there'd be a jingle. It was like back to

48
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 3: back fresh jams. And then there was a donut where

49
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: just the music was there with no singing, and I

50
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: would hit the shout saying Danny G. And then it

51
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 3: would say Q one O four seven or something like that.

52
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 3: You know, it was so cool. Z one hundred in

53
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: New York had a famous jingle. Most famous stations from

54
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: back in the day had a jingle.

55
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a period everyone did. It was a

56
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: very popular form of advertising. Jingles have actually been used

57
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: for how many use you think jingle has been around?

58
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: Broadcasting started in the nineteen twenties, but I bet you

59
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: they predate broadcast. Thing you did the McDonald's one yesterday's podcast,

60
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: didn't you? Oh?

61
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: Yeah? The butt up which a rapper actually wrote that one,

62
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 3: did he?

63
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, all right?

64
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: Push a t from a popular group called the.

65
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: Clips Nationwide is on your side. That's kind of right.

66
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: The one I quote all the time when a player

67
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: gets hurt. What do I say anytime a player gets hurt?

68
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: Danny G? What is my my go to line? I

69
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: quote Rice Crispies, Snap Pop. That's partly because when I

70
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: was a kid, I I recall though, that commercial, it's

71
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: stuck in my head.

72
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: Remember Arms did Lucky Charms had a famous jingle magically delicious.

73
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, how about this one pop pop fizz fizzhe

74
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: it is?

75
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, YouTube had a top ten and that was in there. Boy, Oh,

Speaker 3: kit Cat, give me a break, Give me a break.

77
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 3: Here's the winging off a piece of that kit Cat bar.

78
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: That's a good one. How about this one, I Wish

79
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: I was an oscar by your wead.

80
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: That's one of the og ones that lasted for years,

81
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: the old school band aid jingle.

82
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh, how about I don't want to grow up,

83
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: I want to be a toys Yeah, that was solid, man.

84
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 3: There's been so many over the years.

85
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: We keep going, no one, no one will be listening

86
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: to this party. We can keep going, will be the

87
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 1: only ones doing. Nobody, nobody listen, you got.

88
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: No man, check this out. Not only were we flooded

89
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: with calls that hour, people were still calling about it

90
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: on Friday afternoon and texting and tweeting about it. So

91
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 3: this struck a nerve, a good nerve with people. Because

92
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 3: this stuff it's proven. Obviously, it stays in our head forever.

93
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: No, it's true. Listen when when I think about ice cream,

94
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: I think about what would you do for a condact bar.

95
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: That's a good one. Nobody brought that one up. How

96
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: about here's it? How about Mentos? Mentos Nils had that go.

97
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: Remember the guy in the suit, he sits down on

98
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: the wet paint, gets up and they just make his

99
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: whole suit striped.

100
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: The fresh maker. Oh yeah, yeah, I remember, I remember that.

101
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: How about the one that was an infomercial and everyone

102
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: used to goof on it. I think it's in the

103
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: late eighties, early nineties. Clap on, clap off, the clapper. Yeah.

104
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: Guy said that these are stingers, the word for what

105
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 3: we do, a stinger. But like when you're out playing

106
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 3: softball in a rec league or something like that and

107
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: somebody makes a great snag, you'll always hear somebody go

108
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: no no, no, no, no.

109
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: No, oh yes, ESPN.

110
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, play of the day. And then also with the

111
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 3: NFL Draft coming up this week, that tone they play

112
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 3: before every pick.

113
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: Sure he's in yeah no, no, no. I'm reading a study,

114
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: it says study was according to a recent study, up

115
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: to ninety five up to as a weasel term, but

116
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: up to ninety five percent of people who here jingles

117
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: are remembered by them the most effective marketing tool. But

118
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: yet at some point in our business and radio they

119
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: were looked down upon as being old and dated and

120
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: dusty and you can't use them. But yet there they work.

121
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 3: I feel like they're on the comeback because there's a

122
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: couple of commercials playing on our network right now where

123
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: you hear a jingle and it's a new, modern product.

124
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 3: I just don't think they're ever gonna die.

125
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: Now, Well, we should have the we should have the

126
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: company make like a jingle open for the podcast.

127
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 3: That, yeah, that would be good, right, yeah.

128
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: If I think we're gonna got to the mailbag tomorrow,

129
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: but somebody for number one, yeah something the number one, yeah,

130
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: because I'll get I don't want to do it now.

131
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: But in the mailbag somebody had written in saying, are

132
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: you going to change the open to the podcast? And

133
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: we should if we ever do change it, I think

134
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: we should go that way. I think we should find

135
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: the jingle.

136
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: That's idea.

137
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: I think we just go big, go jingle or go home.

138
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: So we had the Mallard travel logs.

139
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: See Cow Go, See Cow Cow, which, by the way,

140
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: as little kids, we thought it was pussy Cow, pussy Cow.

141
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: These guys on the show, they're not from LA, so

142
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 3: they had no idea what I was talking about. But

143
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: my older brother was cracking up, laughing.

144
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a solid. So we had a travelog yesterday.

145
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: We will continue a little bit of the travelog.

146
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 3: Will day shot nurse style.

147
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: We start out with the wedding weekend Uber And I'm

148
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: not talking about like actually using Uber or any of

149
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: the car writing services. I was the Uber. So we

150
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: had rented a car to drive from LA to the

151
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: Bay Area, and my mother in law tagged along. Now

152
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: you hear horror stories about mothers in law and all that,

153
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: but I get along with.

154
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: My mother in law.

155
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: So she's a nice woman, a little neurotic at times

156
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: because he's a nurse. She was a nurse in the

157
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: trauma emergency room in LA one of the worst neighborhoods

158
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: in LA for her career, but she's cool. We get

159
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: along well. But she was in the car with us

160
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: on the ten hour drive up to Northern California and

161
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: then at the hotel a bunch of the family, pretty

162
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: much everyone because most of the people don't live in

163
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: Northern California, so they were all staying at this hotel,

164
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: people from all over the country. And in order to

165
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: get to the wedding. We'll tell you about that in

166
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: a second, because I know you're dying to hear about

167
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: some random wedding of people you don't know. But the

168
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: wedding was in the forest. Like I'd never been to

169
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: a wedding in the forest. It was out in the

170
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: redwood forest, which I didn't even knows possible you could

171
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: do that. But there was like a ranch, which is

172
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: not a ranch because it's in a forest, So I

173
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell you call it. Resort something.

174
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: They had wedding.

175
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, in space. I've seen this before up there.

176
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never seen that. But anyway, in order to

177
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: get to the forest, you couldn't drive out there. There

178
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: wasn't room to park. It was in the middle of

179
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: the forest, and so you had to go to a

180
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: destination drop off at this location and they picked up

181
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: a shuttle. Yes, a shuttle bus takes you out to

182
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: the forest. But to get there, there's not a lot

183
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: of parking. So I had.

184
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 3: The rental car to four by four shuttle.

185
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: So so Danny I was the uber I was. I

186
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: drove all the aunts, my wife's family, cousins, people I

187
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: don't even know who they were. I drove them to

188
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: the location.

189
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: I was the Uber Benny the bus driver.

190
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. You know, I went all in.

191
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: I went all in. You know, we have some great

192
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: Uber drivers that listen to the show, the Overnight radio

193
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: show and whatnot. And my move is I went out

194
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: there and I offered them mints, Like a good Uber driver,

195
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: what kind of music do you want? You know, whatever

196
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: you need.

197
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 3: You know, the whole thing iPhone charger.

198
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: I did not have that, but I had the mints

199
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: and I had the.

200
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 3: Music mini water bottles, and so we.

201
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: Drove them, drove them around and cons it would be

202
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: a little awkward, but no, So that was my gig.

203
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: And then we went and I parked, and then we

204
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: went out to the wedding. And this is so I

205
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: got in this debate with my my wife and because

206
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: the wedding started, we had to be there. I think

207
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: that we were there at like four o'clock. And so

208
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, when when are we out on this?

209
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: Like what's the outtime on this? Because we had to

210
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: wait for a shuttle, and so the wife's like Okay,

211
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: So it ends at ten. So I'm like, I'm I'm

212
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: six hours. I'm like, and I'm explaining to my wife

213
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: that in any event, like I look at these things

214
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: like a Vegas show or a Broadway play. If you've

215
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: ever been to a Broadway play, there nutes and there's

216
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: a there's a break in the middle, right there, No

217
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: more than ninety minutes. You go to a Vegas show,

218
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: they're ninety minutes and there's a there's a mid season,

219
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: mid act break or whatever. And so I'm like, well,

220
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: why don't we just go. We'll do the wedding, will

221
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: take about fifteen minutes, we'll stick around, we'll wait for

222
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: the cake, and then the cake's the sign to go,

223
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: and then we're out after the cake. We don't need

224
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: to stay, you know. And my wife said, well, no,

225
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: this is my brother's wedding. We're going to stay, and

226
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: you know. But but no, it's ninety minutes, you know,

227
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: and they won't even know when we're gone and all that.

228
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, so we ended up staying till the very end, Danny,

229
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: the very end of this wedding. But I want you

230
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: to know that I made the most of my time

231
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: because I tore the floora I was. I was torn

232
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: up from the floor up. I tore the dance floor up.

233
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: Is what I do.

234
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 3: I was disco Benny out there, centipede man.

235
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: I figured.

236
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 4: You know, my my wife white boy racist. Yeah, so

237
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 4: my my wife has taken me out dancing a few times,

238
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 4: mainly because she likes to dance. I don't, but I

239
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 4: have a little little niece and nephew, and my niece

240
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 4: loves to dance, right, so she wants to dance with

241
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 4: Uncle Benny.

242
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: So I'm like all right, and so my move this

243
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: is my move is too because I'm a big guy.

244
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: I do the dance move, and then I can pick

245
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: the kids up and spin them around like they're on

246
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: a ride, one of those rides at the carnival, and

247
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: they every kid loves this, right, so we do the day.

248
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: I pick them up and spin them by their arms around.

249
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 3: Like that new three sixty camera they have at the

250
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 3: Super Bowl at our stage.

251
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So I'm doing this, and then what do

252
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: kids always you know, you have your son and all that.

253
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: Do it again?

254
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, do it again? Right, I'm like and I'm like, well,

255
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: on my head, I'm like sure, you know, I got it.

256
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm stuck. I'm prisoner until ten o'clock.

257
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: You throw up your chicken.

258
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I did it so many times. I

259
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: had to stop and I was walking like I was drunk.

260
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't even walk in a straight line. I had

261
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: to put my hands on the wall. It was so bad.

262
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, you were sipping some whiskey.

263
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then by the by the time the night

264
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: is going on. My my nephew, this this kid, Jude,

265
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: this kid, he's like he's getting so sweaty. He takes

266
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: his shirt off like he's a Chippindale's dancer.

267
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: Down Now.

268
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: It's it's why it was.

269
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: It was. It was fun.

270
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: It was a good time, and I actually enjoyed it.

271
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't. I made the most of my time.

272
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: I figured I had to be there anyway, so might

273
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: as well have a good time. Although there was one

274
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: awkward moment, which my my wife says is like a

275
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: Larry David type moment. There, like a Curby enthusiasm type moment.

276
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: So at the the meal, most important part of the wedding,

277
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: the meal, you know that you know, you give the

278
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: gift and you gotta be there and you gotta get

279
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: the food, and most wedding food sucks.

280
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 3: This was okay.

281
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: They had bugogi and rice for me, which was pretty good.

282
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: I like bugogi. Cut that meat. They have it at

283
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: Costco where I live anyway, So whatever, find eat. And

284
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: as as I'm eating, I did get a bad piece

285
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: of ugogie, kind of a chewy one. So I had

286
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: options here, Danny, all right, I'm going to fork in

287
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: the road. Do I a just keep powering through and

288
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: chew the bubblegum like piece of meat which I found disgusting,

289
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: and just.

290
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: Go for it.

291
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: Do I be spit it out into a napkin, a

292
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: nice cloth napkin in front of everyone at the table

293
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: who's looking at me, or see, go to the bathroom,

294
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: excuse myself, and then you get rid of it in

295
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: the bathroom.

296
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: But you got to keep it in your mouth like

297
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: a squirrel.

298
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta be like a nineteen eighties baseball player

299
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: with chewing with tobacco, chewing tobacco. So I chose, see, Danny,

300
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: I try. I thought that was the light thing. I

301
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: thought that was the proper decorum. But here's where I got.

302
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: I got totally screwed. This is great, So I'm like,

303
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: I kind of mumbled to the wife, I gotta go

304
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: to the bathroom. I didn't have to go to the

305
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: bathroom at all, by the way, I did not have

306
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom at all, and so fine.

307
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: But I got up and I waddled off to the bathroom,

308
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: which is up a hill by the way, and go

309
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: outside on the cold, crisp night. They put a tent

310
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: up in the forest to have the dinner. So I

311
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: walk up to the bathroom area and I walk over.

312
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: I opened the door and out comes the groom of

313
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: the wedding. He had gone my brother in law to

314
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom, and he says, hey, Ben, good

315
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: to see you like that. I I couldn't say anything

316
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: because I had the water meat in my mouth, So

317
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: I was a dick hell and I didn't say anything

318
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: to him. It was very I felt terrible because it

319
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: was in.

320
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 3: E motion, use your hands like you're Italian.

321
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: Oh so bad Dan, I mean, this is he just

322
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: got married. He's like nice, He's saying hello to me,

323
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: and I couldn't say anything because I had the lot

324
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: of the bad meat that was the bubble gump in

325
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: my mouth.

326
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 3: And were you able to redeem yourself later.

327
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: Well, I said hello to him late. I don't I

328
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: think he was enjoying himself with the open bar there,

329
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: so I think I don't think he cared too much.

330
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: But I felt bad. I felt bad about it. I

331
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: was like, oh man, but I didn't. You know, if

332
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: I would have been I felt like it would have

333
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: been worse, Danny, if I had started to say hey,

334
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: brother in law, and then the meat starts falling out

335
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: of my motion with your hands to a head nod.

336
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 3: This has happened to me before, because I try not

337
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 3: to do it now. But I have the little travel

338
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: sized mouthwash okay, and obviously I'm not carrying a toothbrush

339
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 3: around at work. But there's some times where, you know,

340
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 3: after a late lunch at the studios, I want to

341
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: use the mouthwash and I'll be walking to the bathroom

342
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 3: to spit it out, and somebody will try to stop

343
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 3: me and speak to me, give me a point at

344
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 3: your mouth. You're they're like, what what's in your mouth?

345
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 3: You weirdo? And fish? So it's it's it's all bad.

346
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, it's pretty pretty wild. What else did

347
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: there as a couple of things that happened that I

348
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: wanted to share with the class here. Uh. When we

349
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: were you know, we had a day where we were

350
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: kind of did some family stuff in the afternoon and evening,

351
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: but in the morning time we went to the Winchester House.

352
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 1: Have you ever been You've been to the Oh?

353
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, my. When my family moved up to the Bay,

354
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 3: my elementary school took us on a field trip there

355
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 3: and I was spooped out as a kid.

356
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the Winchester House is the first testimonial to

357
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: mental illness. Uh and uh, because I I learned, you know,

358
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: when I didn't really know much about it, I knew

359
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: it was haunted, and I knew it was like the biggest,

360
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: most ridiculous house they never stopped building. The the daughter

361
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: of the Winchester gun family.

362
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And so she believed the ghosts of anyone

363
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 3: killed by one of those rifles were coming back to

364
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: haunt her. So she built on, kept adding on to

365
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 3: trying to fool the ghosts into like fake hallways rooms

366
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 3: that yeah.

367
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: Like yeah. But the story that the tour guide said

368
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: was the reason she did that is she because she

369
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: went to like a psychic or something or a medium

370
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: who told her listen, if you just keep never stop building,

371
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: and that's that'll keep the spirits away. You think that

372
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: person like laughed, kept laughing at the woman, listened to

373
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: her or him and just kept building.

374
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 3: Maybe that was the wife of the construction guy.

375
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: Right in the well, and it was built for that.

376
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: She was a very small woman, and I was walking

377
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: around there. I'm a pretty tall guy. It was the

378
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: stairs were not designed for people with my size shoes

379
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: and stuff, but it was. It was cool, and they

380
00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: got rid of most of it. There's only a little

381
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: bit of it left, like they tore a lot of

382
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: it down.

383
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: Not only that, did you notice what is surrounding that house?

384
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: Now, Well, there's a movie theater on one side.

385
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and there's like an open air mall. There's

386
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 3: all these office buildings, modern buildings surrounding this old, old mansion.

387
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 3: And it's crazy because when I went as a kid,

388
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 3: that movie theater was there, but there wasn't all the

389
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 3: other businesses surrounding it. So talk about some property that

390
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 3: is worth a mint. They're obviously never going to get

391
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: rid of that famous mansion, but it was so weird

392
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: because it feels like that house in the cartoon movie

393
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 3: up where it's just sitting in the middle of a

394
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 3: huge city.

395
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's like I hear it's like that in

396
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: like Greece or Italy. I've not been to those places

397
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: where you have these really like, you know, this Winchester

398
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: house isn't that old in comparison, but you have some

399
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: ancient ruins in Greece. It's like, isn't that the old

400
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: joke about the pyramids in the Middle East? There across

401
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: the way there's like a McDonald's or something. You know,

402
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, it's just ridiculous. Anyway, what else did

403
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: I want?

404
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a Chipotle now across the street from.

405
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: The exactly I think there is, you know there is

406
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: there is actually, yeah, we stopped there to get some Anyway,

407
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: on the way back, we we high tailed it through California,

408
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: went down through the bread Basket, the flatulent zone of California.

409
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: And here's another deja vu situation. So when I was

410
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: driving the wedding uber one of my aunts, we drove

411
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: back on on Saturday, and one of my aunts is like, hey,

412
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: you we're gonna leave early because there's a big storm

413
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: coming into California and they might might close the grapevine

414
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: because of snow. So I recall her telling me this

415
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: and I was like, I pass it on to the

416
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: to the wife. I said, you know, it looks like

417
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some snow in the grapevine and could

418
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: be problem for us. And she said, no, no, now,

419
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: there's gonna be no snow. You had nothing to worry about.

420
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: Everything'll be fine. She looked at the forecast light rain.

421
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: So we left kind of late in the day. We

422
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: had to transport some of the wedding flowers to get saved.

423
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know you could do this, Danny, but wedding flowers,

424
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: there's a way you can save them forever. I don't

425
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: know what they put on them.

426
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 3: They dry them out with They spray some stuff on

427
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 3: them and dry them.

428
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: Out, something like that. Yeah, So we had to take

429
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: some of the bouquet, like the bouquet and some of

430
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: the other stuff. Fine, so we had to wait for that.

431
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: So we take off. I demand. My one demand was

432
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: we stop in Gilroy.

433
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 3: It's the same poison your wife puts in your food later,

434
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: by the.

435
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: Way, So we stopped in Gilroy. I rolled down the windows,

436
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: smelled the garlic. Oh so good, So amazing. Stopped at

437
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: the garlic I got a garlic burger with the roasted

438
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: garlic on top, and then went to the garlic. We

439
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: went over to the garlic store. They have garlic stores,

440
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: and then we bought some garlic products that were overpriced tremendously,

441
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: and but who cares, because you're in Gilroy, so.

442
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 3: You do it.

443
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: And then we got back on the road. We're driving

444
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: and we didn't stop as many times on the way back.

445
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: We did stop. And I wonder if you know what

446
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: this I forget the name of the place. Is this

447
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: touristy trap outside Gilroy that has like a little train

448
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: and they sell like fruits and oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

449
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: I'd never been there before.

450
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 3: Yeah that's a cool spot.

451
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got a lot going on. So we stopped there.

452
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: Then we proceeded to stop. Out of leaving Gilroy, we

453
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: proceeded to stop. There's all these fruit stands, twenty avocados

454
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: for a dollar. You like avocados, My wife's I like avocado.

455
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: So we stop and then those little baby avocados, but

456
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: we got them, like we got we got those little

457
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: baby avocados. I like goodles of course that they have

458
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: the fresh and then they tried to upsell you, well,

459
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: what about strawberries, you know, strawberries afresh, and you know

460
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't need any strawberry, but no, no, you should

461
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: get some stoubery and try up sell you. Of course,

462
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: we made the mistake. The first stand we saw was

463
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: twenty avocados for a dollar, and then we didn't stop

464
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: at that one. So then there was another stand that

465
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: said ten avocados for a dollar. So so we said we

466
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: better stop at that one because we probably won't see

467
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: another one, and that's the last chance.

468
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 3: It's like when the gas price at gas station slowly

469
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 3: starts increasing as you drive.

470
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we stopped and we got the ten avocados

471
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: for a dollar, and then we kept driving, and then

472
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: the next stand was twenty avocados for a dollar. We're like, oh,

473
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: fuck you, oh man, And so that was a that

474
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: was a problem. But we we stopped a couple times.

475
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: Then we got back and we're driving and it was

476
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: a light rain. It was a light rain, and the

477
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: whole time I'm drinking, I'm drinking either water or refresher.

478
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: My wife had gotten me from Starbucks for the road

479
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: trip back, so I'm consistently drinking, and then so of

480
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: course I had to go to the bathroom. So we

481
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: had to stop to go to the bathroom, and then

482
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: I'm drinking some more water. Whatever. We get to the grapevine.

483
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: It's light rain, you know, light rain. Nothing, it's open.

484
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 3: We made it.

485
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 1: We made it up. We get into the medium part

486
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: of the grape vine and it starts snowing. Oh my gosh.

487
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: We're like, oh crap. And of course, I, of course

488
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: at that point, Danny, I turned to my wife and

489
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: I did the old I told.

490
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 3: You, Yeah, I told you. I bet that went overwhell oh.

491
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. This is the second time in a month this

492
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: has happened. We were leaving Vegas and it started snowing.

493
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: Going over the hill in the California Death Valley are

494
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: it started snowing, but that was a light dusting. This

495
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: was full on snow. This was full Monty snow. And

496
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: it snowed for about thirty minutes of Maybe I'm exaggerating.

497
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: It seemed like it was thirty minutes of the drive,

498
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: but it was at least fifteen minutes, maybe thirty. As

499
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: we're going through the Grapevine, it goes up to four

500
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: thousand the elevation I think at the highest is like

501
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: four thousand feet or something like that in the Grapevine

502
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: and I'm driving, people are freaking out. Half the people

503
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: are driving slow. Other other people are like they're they're

504
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: driving too fast. The trucks don't really know what to do.

505
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: It's a big it's a big ship show. And uh

506
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: and then we get through the snow. They fortunately they

507
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: again they didn't close the Grapevine. I think they closed

508
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: the other side actually coming from La up towards Bakersfield.

509
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: But our side was fine. But then I had to

510
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom again because I've been drinking, so

511
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: I I I had to pull over. I'm you know,

512
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: I had to do what bears do in the forest,

513
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: the Angela's forest, Danny. I had to hit the star

514
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: got off and yeah, yeah, what's that is? That is

515
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: that you go to a basket? Yeah, which was fine

516
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: except again and yet it's a little one big coming

517
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: because my mother in law was with us on the

518
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: way back, so as I, I gotta stop, and you know,

519
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: she understood. So I tried to find a little like

520
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 1: like a tree that I kind of hide behind, you know,

521
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: But it was night time.

522
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna say, so you felt like

523
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 3: you were watering something?

524
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was nighttime. So I went to

525
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: the bathroom. But the problem I had when I go

526
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 1: to the bathroom out in the great outdoors is I'm

527
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: always in a rush. Number one. I want to get

528
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: it over with as quick as possible, so I don't

529
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: I don't you know what, You settle into the urinald

530
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: Danny and just everything gets out. But I almost never

531
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: let it all get out because I'm gonna hurry and

532
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm worried, Oh, you're not supposed to be doing this

533
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: and all that. So I went to the bathroom, got

534
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: back in the car, immediately start drinking water again, right,

535
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: immediately start drinking the water again. So we're driving, we're driving,

536
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: we're driving. We get to where do we get to somewhere?

537
00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: What's the town north of Burbank off the five oh

538
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: Lend or something like that. Yeah, yeah, I think we're

539
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: around Sunland. So we we get to there, and I'm like,

540
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: I go to the bathroom again. You know, I didn't

541
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: finish everything I needed to get out. So my wife's

542
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: like looking on her phone, She's like, all right, there's

543
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 1: a Starbucks says I, all right, and so I don't might.

544
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,400

545
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: have been it was somewhere around there.

546
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the home of Roberto.

547
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,280

Speaker 1: I did the dumpster. Yeah. I had to do it.

558
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: I had to do it. It was either that or

559
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: my pants, you know, I had to do it. So yeah,

560
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: right there. Anyway, So that back and we went to

561
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: On the way back, we stopped at the Great l Coyote.

562
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: And this is where the story is gonna end. So

563
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: we stopped at El Kyote, great Mexican restaurant in Beverly

564
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,239
Speaker 1: in LA. Used to eat there all the time, used

565
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: to live down the street on Houser down the street

566
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: from there, then Parklebrea, which a big housing complex there.

567
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: So went to L Coyote and for for some reason,

568
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 1: I randomly on my phone. I was like, looking around,

569
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: I have a tracking thing where with my brothers. I

570
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: have brother in Wisconsin, brother in New York, and I

571
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: can they can keep track of me, and I can

572
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: keep track of them, and in case we ever die,

573
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: they can find us. And so I at least find

574
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: our phones. And so I looked at my phone. I

575
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: was like, well, holy crap. My older brother, the one

576
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: from New York, is in LA and he's like literally

577
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 1: across the street from the restaurant. I'm at, what are

578
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: the odds? What are the odds? And so I start text.

579
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: I called him. He didn't answer his phone. I text

580
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: him like, hey, I need I need to see I

581
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: think you're here.

582
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 3: You know.

583
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: He didn't write stalker. Yeah, he didn't write back. So

584
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: then I text my sister in law, his wife, and

585
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, we're leaving the restaurant here, but it

586
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: looks like you're like literally right across the street. I

587
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: would like to see say.

588
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 3: Hello before leaving in your car right now?

589
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: Yeah? And uh and then they finally saw it. And

590
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: then my brother actually Jay walked across the street to

591
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: come say hello to us at the at the restaurant

592
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: we were at, and his father in law, who's a

593
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: very very successful, well known doctor, was it was his

594
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: birthday and he was having a big birthday dinner at

595
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: the rest There's an Italian restaurant across the street. Its

596
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: apparently really good. They never been there, but it's supposed

597
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: to be really good, and so they were having a

598
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: big dinner there at the restaurant. So that was cool.

599
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a very odd It was like

600
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: brotherly love right in the middle. I did not have

601
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: that on my Bingo card that I would because we

602
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: could have gone to any restaurant. We were debating which

603
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: restaurant to go to. It wasn't like we went to

604
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: El Coyote, this place, which I liked, but we were

605
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: debating go to Fat sALS or some other restaurant which

606
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: we normally normally go to.

607
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: So, yeah, it's really crazy when things like that happened.

608
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: I think they call called serendipity.

609
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 3: Serendipitous for sure.

610
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I think we'll get out on that.

611
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: Anything else, Danny, you want to commode Saturday.

612
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: Well, today, after I produced this fine podcast, my wife

613
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 3: is dragging me to Disneyland. We had one ticket that's

614
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 3: just been sitting there as credit cause a few months

615
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 3: back we bought a ticket for her mom speaking of

616
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 3: in laws, and her mom was sick and couldn't join

617
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: us that day. The credit's just been sitting there, So

618
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 3: for months she's been saying, all we have to do

619
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,000
