He 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.440 rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

The day after the 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:43.920 fireworks extravaganza, which I think is still going on somewhere 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:44.400 Danny G. 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.959 I mean, it was an all night situation here and. 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:52.000 I live, and you know, I know you're on the road, 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.040 but where I live it's and I think where we 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.840 both live, it's like fireworks are illegal, You're not allowed 0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:58.360 to have them. 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:02.160 H It's wild, man. 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:06.120 It is just been NonStop as soon as the sun 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:12.800 started going down, kaboom kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom kaboom. 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.000 So it's been been quite the long night. Now the 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.759 good news is for me, Moxie, my dog not really 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.000 upset by fireworks. Moxie seems perfectly fine. 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:27.760 But did you put one of those comfort jackets on? No, 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:29.800 I have not seen those. 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.640 But my old dog, Bella famously ran away on the 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.560 fourth of July as I was leaving to go to work. 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.399 She snuck out the door and sprinted, and I thought 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:43.920 that was the end of Bella. But fortunately Moxie not 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:44.679 not in bad shape. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.120 But ye know, I've not seen the but they'll sell anything. 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:48.360 Man. 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.000 We should have gotten in that racket, Danny, some kind 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:52.680 of dog comfort vest. 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.360 Yeah, I guess it's a tight fit on them, and 0:01:55.960 --> 0:02:01.240 it's something that probably started on Shark Tank. Do any 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.280 of you have a dog that hates the Fourth of 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:07.200 July and fireworks? As one blasts off right now, because 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.080 as you mentioned, it is an all weekend thing in 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:15.120 southern California. Yeah, and I'm in your old stopping grounds. 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:16.079 I'm in San Diego. 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.040 To be more specific, I was in Cheula Vista yesterday 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.120 or as we call it, Cheu La Vista and now 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:27.639 El Cajone, where they are known to set fires from fireworks. 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.679 In fact, in the lobby of the hotel last night 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:35.440 and all this morning. I've seen National Guard and fire crews, 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.640 wildfire crews, they're being paid overtime. They're just on standby 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.080 thinking that there's going to be fires. 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.400 Oh well, that's actually smart, that's proactive. Maybe if they 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.680 at the Mayor of Los Angeles hadn't gone overseas and 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.600 had prepared, La would not have burned down, right, Malibu 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.040 wouldn't have burned down and. 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:54.640 Path that's a good point. 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.360 You know, it's amazing if you actually prepare for stuff, 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:01.560 you can circumvent a lot of the damage. That's good. 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.400 That's good to hear. Actually, I'm happy about that. 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:04.680 So on this. 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:09.240 Podcast, we've got the dog Father returns, Dirty Looks, cannon ball, 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:11.720 and possibly the phrase of the week. 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.160 But I wanted to begin with this Danny. 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.760 So now I don't know what is more American this 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:18.120 Fourth of July weekend. 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:19.639 You know, people talk about. 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:25.239 Fireworks, baseball, Mom apple Pie, I say, watching a grown 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:30.400 ass man from northern California who relocated to Indiana inhale 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:35.000 seventy and a half, hot dogs and buns in ten minutes, 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.280 while the Statue of Liberty is looking on off in 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.320 the distance. There likely the statue literally saying what the 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:46.000 f is that? But how great? How great is that 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:50.440 is a tradition. We've had Joey Chestnut on this podcast, Danny, 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.880 I have his number from not that he's the most 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.960 social guy in the world, but Chestnut is back, and 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.520 not just back, Danny back on top of the food 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:06.920 mountain like a mustard slicked Zeus descending from Mount Olympus. 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:07.920 Friend of the program. 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.160 And I waited a few hours because I knew he 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.360 would be busy and on the toilet. But I texted 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.680 him congratulations, and about an hour later he wrote back, 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:18.679 thank you so much. 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:23.279 Nice stomach of steel and a job that could? I 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.240 mean essentially true through rebar that watching him, he's forty one, 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.039 great hope for middle aged people. 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.200 Forty one goat a goat in more ways than one. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.040 Yeah, he could. He eats like a goat. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:39.520 A seventeenth Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog eating contest. There 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.400 Friday for us on the West coast morning. It was afternoon, 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:47.800 early afternoon on the East coast. Seventeen though, Danny, that 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.200 is that's not when people talk about dynasties, you guys, Ah, 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:55.640 what is a dynasty? When I think we agree three 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.320 out of five right in that usually what we say 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.960 is a dynasty of three out of five, but seventeen. 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:02.920 He's the Lakers. 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:09.640 Stop the kind of dominance that people have a Tom Brady, 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.680 you know, the most recent Patriot run and all that stuff. 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.760 You know, if you put Tom brady next to Joey Chestnut, 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:20.400 Tom Brady's like an intern to Joey Chestnut. And I 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.080 love the story because he did it missing last year's 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.880 contest because there was that sponsorship sponsorship dispute. 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:28.080 You know, he went with the vegie. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.120 Yeah, he showed no signs of leaner rust. 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.800 Yeah, but it's the thing, Titty. He was not benched 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:35.720 because he got hurt. 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:37.360 You know, maybe he ate a hot dog, he went 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.640 down wrong, or he didn't stop because he got too old. 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.720 He got stopped because of capitalism. That's what stopped Joey Chestnut. 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.960 And it's because he was eating plant based or sponsoring 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:50.680 plant based doggies. 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.120 Yeah, yeah, that's not you know, I know he's trying 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:57.040 to make a buck and that's fine. But yeah, so 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.720 I did the malor math. He ate seventy and a 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.799 half hot dogs and buns in ten minutes, so using malor, 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:07.480 Matt Danny, that is seven hot dogs a minute seven 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:12.360 in sixty seconds, one every eight point five seconds, if 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:18.640 my math is correct, and that is why that's one. Essentially, 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.680 one segment of a talk radio show is about ten 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.760 minutes usually maybe sometimes a little more. 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.240 Top of the A blocks, usually you push it to 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:28.680 about twenty two minutes. 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:30.400 Well, I have no one, you know, working with me, 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.599 so I just keep going. But yeahs I do pretty long. 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:39.920 And so anyway, Joey Chestnut amazing, and he did it 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.560 with this calm at watching him eat Dan after you 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.000 saw the live thing of the rebroadcast, but he or 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.279 it's on I guess ESPN plus whoever is that? 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:49.560 I think that's what it was on. 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:59.600 Anyway, mechanical, robotic, just amazing, cold blooded, glizzy gobbler, Joey Chestnut. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:00.680 And did you see the. 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:05.680 Crowd on Coney Island there in Brooklyn, China. This was 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.240 like a Trump rally. It was like a political round. 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.120 They were chanting his name, he was President Trump, and 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:15.480 they had the hot dog hats, the goofy hats, the flags. 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.880 It was reminded me when I was a kid watching 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.800 hul Cogan come out at WrestleMania, you know, and he 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:22.680 do that thing with his hands you know, put it up. 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:26.720 You know, I can't hear you. It was it was good. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.160 It's like joy chess. That is not He's not just 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.520 a competitive eater, Danny at this point. He's a symbol 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:36.560 right now, maybe absurdity and bloated and all that stuff, but. 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:42.960 Loud, proud, and for some people, slightly nauseating. 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.440 I did want to mention that because I've ranted for 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.560 years about my love of joe you know, not not 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:51.080 of Joey Chestnut particularly, but the competitive eating scene. And 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.160 every time I bring this up, whether it's here on 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.320 the fifth hour podcast of the radio, someone will question 0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:01.120 me about why I love this porky pig palooza and 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.000 all this stuff, and they they'll send me this, this 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:05.920 is what's wrong with America. You know, this is a 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:11.679 gastril intestinal crime issue. This is terrible. And my response 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:15.200 always Danny's fooy, right. And it's like, if you can 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.680 watch someone dunk a basketball and I appreciate someone dunking 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.320 a basketball from the foul line, right, and you call 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.120 that art because oh that's art, that's artistic, right, Or 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:29.320 somebody throwing a sixty yard spiral in an NFL game. Listen, 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.760 if you can call those things art. You can call 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:39.120 Joey Chestnut covered in hot dog goo in the minute nine, 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.920 And you know, dunking a bun in water, and you 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.600 can call that poetry, right, you can call it poetry. 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:48.120 Amazing too. 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.840 Are the all those buns it's not just hot dogs, 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:55.000 the buns that they obviously dip in the water. To me, 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.640 it seems like that would fill me up really fast. 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.840 Yeah, yeah, the bread absolutely well. And and and as 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:03.040 I go back to. 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:06.680 The point that this is, you know, art, it was 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:11.160 that that famous Julia Child quote. There's a there's a 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.120 name I didn't think I mentioned again, but she had 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.640 a great coach. She said everything can be drama if 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.840 it's done right right, even like a pancake. And that's 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.520 Joey Chestnut. As you said, you get into that. And 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.640 and everyone was hoping for a record. He didn't set 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.679 the record. Now he had already, hey already owns the record. 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:31.240 But seventy hot dogs, seventy and a half the hot dogs. 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.280 And when he's getting there and you're like, is he 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.040 is he on pace for the record? Is he gonna 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:35.840 get to the record? 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:37.120 Like all that? 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.760 So you cannot undersell the drama and and and then 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:41.719 again last year. 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:43.559 I circle back to the fact that he was out. 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:47.800 He was exiled, Joey Chestnut, and he was a nomad 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.719 wandering around, you know, because he was stuck in this 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:54.880 purgatory from the promotion of the Veggie Dog. And now 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.839 he returns. Remember when Jordan came back. Wasn't he wearing 0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:59.960 like a forty five jersey for the bulls when he 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:04.160 you remember that, yeah, or in the you know, Rocky 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.280 in the Rocky final round or whatever. But it was great. 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.760 I mean, he came back, he conquered. So rather than 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:13.439 I know some of you right now, I'm going to 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.960 send an email of the mallow. He doesn't get it, No, 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:20.880 raise a glass of pepto bismol and salute the man, 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:26.040 the myth, the mustarn belt legend, who stands on top 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.560 of all the Wieners as the king of Wiener. 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:30.319 Mountain right there. 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.200 And you know, in this wacky world, Danny, that we 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:38.560 all share where oftentimes because we get every negative story 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.079 you want on social media spinning off its axis. You 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.760 I think the whole world's falling apart. To me, there's 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.520 something comforting about the fact that Joey Chestnut can take 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.479 a year off and come back and be the sausage 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:55.559 king right there. God Bless America, God Bless Joey Chestnut. 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:55.720 Dan. 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.040 That's what I have to say. That's what I have 0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:58.400 to say. 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:03.360 That Godfather returns and he gets dirty looks. I'm guessing 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.800 he's not alone, Danny when it comes to dirty looks. 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:06.600 You know what I'm saying. 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.400 Well, he only gets dirty looks from his competition, the 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:14.640 fans obviously, Adorum, so does our network. But if he 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.079 were to wear a Dodgers jersey or a Dodgers hat 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.000 in the city of San Diego, he would get dirty 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:22.640 looks from even his fans. 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:24.760 And were you dead? 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.560 Have you been decked out this weekend? And your Dodger swag? 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.400 Have you been wan old? Okay? 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.320 And not just me, but the whole family has had 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.040 some sort of Dodger gear on, whether if you a hat, 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.280 a jersey. I had an Otani shirt on yesterday. And 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.720 there is no love loss between the cities of Los 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.120 Angeles and San Diego right now when it comes to 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:49.320 baseball and this rivalry between the Dodgers and the Padres. 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.520 We were inside a target yesterday getting some bathroom supplies 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:58.040 for the hotel, and I saw three different San Diego fans. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.480 One was wearing a Machado jarer, one was wearing a 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.400 Tatist junior jersey. They looked at me as if I 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.240 had two hands, the scowl on their faces, the dirty 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.520 looks that I got, that my step son got. They 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.320 looked like they wanted to box. And here I hear 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.800 that San Diego is one of the most friendly cities 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.199 in the In fact, it was voted the most friendly 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.680 city in America. Not if you're wearing Dodgers gear. 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.880 Yeah, well you should point out that Machado's Dodger trash 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:34.319 that he played for the Dodgers, and remember his my memory. 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.480 There's two things I remember about Machado as a Dodger. 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.920 Remember he stepped on the first baseman for the Brewers 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.640 at the time, he stepped on his ankle. 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:43.720 Remember that there was a big contest. 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:44.440 Oh yeah. 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.559 And then and then I was at the game. 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:51.840 I got hooked up a friend of the program, big 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.000 shot Big TV mogul hooked us up with tickets of 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:56.800 the World Series. But I was at the game that 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.680 went like eighteen innings. It was ridiculous. But in that 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.320 game him, I witnessed at the World Series Manna Machado 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.880 against the Dodger against the Red Sox as a Dodger 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:06.960 hit the longest single in world. 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.480 Here is serious history. He hit a ball off the wall. 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.000 He thought it was gone, and he was showboating, you know, 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.240 he and he only ended up at first base. 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:15.920 Uh. 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:17.719 But if you really want to piss off podcasts, you 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:18.760 could wear like an old dog. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:19.959 He's no Johnny Hustle. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.480 Okay, I know, I know exactly you should wear like 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.240 an old Machado Dodger jersey. But yeah, you know, I 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.320 was just as we talked about it. I was in San Diego. 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.040 The son graduated from boot camp, so I was down 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.080 there and I did wear I did have a Dodger 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.800 hat on, but it was like a Brooklyn Dodger hat. 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.320 So a lot of people confuse the Brooklyn Dodger hat 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.560 with the Red Sox hat they don't wear. Yeah, they 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.640 don't know that it's the Dodger hat. So it's kind 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.600 of incognito a way to do it. But that's the 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.800 only game left. I mean, think they've lost every other 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.559 professional sports team in the in the major industrial complex 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.640 of sports in San Diego, the Chargers, who should still 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:57.360 be the San Diego Chargers. I think it's bull crap 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.679 there in LA. But whatever, the Chargers are in LA, 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:03.000 and so that was their NFL team. They've had two 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.840 different basketball teams that have left. Although I guess there 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:08.679 is a G League team in Ocean Side, right they. 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.160 I guess they moved. They called the San Diego Clippers. 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.400 I think they're still an Ocean Side I don't even know. 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.920 Yeah, the Clippers G League team is so you might 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:17.760 as well be a WNBA team. 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.240 But yeah, not with Caitlyn Clark. But so you're getting 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.680 a lot of dirty looks. People wanted to fight you, And. 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.280 Yeah, I have a decision to make. Yeah, will I 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.680 go full throttle this weekend? My friends at San Diego Zoo, Mary, 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.680 I love her. I love all the people there. They're 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:41.000 my homies. But am I gonna not wear my Dodgers 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.680 jersey or hat for another day here to avoid all 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:46.840 the dirty looks inside Safari Park. 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:52.760 So I believe that the zoo is like a safe 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.440 space because most people that go to the San Diego 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:59.080 Zoo don't live in San Diego. Right there, because if 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:00.640 you live there, you can go there whenever you want, 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.320 You're not going to go there on a holiday weekend, 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:03.640 so I think you should be fine. 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:05.520 There were some locals though. 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.800 The last time I went to the San Diego Zoo 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.880 last year, I saw some padres gear. There were some 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:13.600 locals walking around the zoo. 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.440 Okay, Because I would think, if you live there, you 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.200 just like those of us live in near Disneyland, you 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.280 don't have to go when it's a holiday weekend because 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.680 you go when it's not that busy. I would think 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:27.760 the same thing the San Diego Zoo, which is great. 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.520 With San Diego Zoo, it's so freaking biggest, the greatest 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.400 zoo I've ever been to. Have you ever been to 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:33.920 a better zoo than the San Diego Zoo. I don't 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:34.720 think there's a better zoo. 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:34.920 No. 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.560 And that was one thing my mom was really obsessed 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.160 with when we were little kids. She would take us 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:44.200 to three zoos regularly here in California. She would take 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.880 us to the San Francisco Zoo, she would take us 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.200 to the Fresno Zoo, and she would take us to 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:53.320 San Diego Zoo. And the San Diego Zoo was better 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:57.120 than all the others put together. Every time we got 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.440 near San Diego. She would get so excited when we 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:05.880 got past the two boobs from Naked Gun. Yes, right, 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.240 and we got like right before ocean side. I remember 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.120 how thrilled she would be that we were about to 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:13.600 enter the San Diego area. 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.920 Yeah, the San Diego Zoo is an amazing place if 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:18.760 you've never never been there. 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.040 I've been to the I've been to a bunch of zoos. 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.480 I've even hed to the literal the Bronx ou famously 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.200 not the Yankee Stadium with the actual Bronx woo and 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:28.560 all that. 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:33.600 And yeah, the San Diego Zoo's just next next level. 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:34.800 The whole thing is. 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.680 I can't wait because at the Safari Park, I hear 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.880 that it's the only place you can see flatypuses in 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.200 captivity besides Australia right. 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:45.760 Now, Oh is that right? That's cool? 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.520 Yeah, And so I'm looking forward to having CoA freak 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.720 out when he sees rhinos. 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:53.560 And he's big into elephants. 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.760 Right now, He's got a stuffed elephant that he carries 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.720 around and he does the trunk with his arm and 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.520 makes elephant sounds cool. 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.040 He's gonna he's gonna have a ball, is he? 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:04.920 Is? 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.359 He over the dinosaur phase or is he not gotten 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:08.639 into the dinosaur phase yet? 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.840 He just got into the dinosaur phase about two months ago. 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.200 Okay, that's a big one too. 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:16.080 When I was growing up, we used to go to 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.000 San Diego a lot for the zoo, but my parents 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:23.639 also loved Balboa Park the museums, so they would force 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.359 us to go there. And I remember I used to 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.000 hate it when I was a kid, because what kid 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:28.520 wants to go to freaking museums? 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.000 Right, terrible? 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:31.160 But my parents loved it. 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.840 My dad loved the Space Museum, which was really cool. 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:36.600 And I went in there last time I was in 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.639 San Diego and it looked almost identical. 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:39.960 To when I was a kid. 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:41.960 I don't think they'd updated it at all, like the 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:43.800 same as I remember as a kid. 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.360 I was like exactly the same, and uh, you know, but. 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.080 Obviously, being grown up, I enjoyed it more than when 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.640 I was a kid, and all that I did. 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.200 Want to turn the page though, to cannon balls. Now. 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.040 Some people sitting there in traffic this week on the 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.919 four or five, or the seven to ten or the 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.240 two ten or whatever this week, we're probably wondering in 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:10.240 La why the radio sounded a little more nocturnal than usual, 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:16.000 and you can thank the Magic Hour seriously. So I 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.760 would like to thank Magic Johnson because Danny Rodney Pete 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.920 decided that talking about the Dodger bullpen or Dodger injuries 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.439 for the four hundred time this summer was not quite 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.359 to his liking and was not quite as important as 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.359 sipping champagne with Magic Johnson on a hundred million dollar 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:36.600 yacht somewhere off a Maulfy coast. 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:38.480 Possibly. I don't know where they were, but. 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.560 According to the paparazzi you see this on a TMZ 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:46.480 had some photos some of the tabloid websites, the Magic 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:50.639 Johnson Mega yacht, which I guess he rents this every summer. 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:54.600 This was not he owns it, but this vessel. It 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.440 was so opulent. You know who Larry Ellison is. That's 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.120 super rich, dude. It looks like a dinghy that Larry 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.760 Ellison would own. And Marina, yeah, it's this yacht. And 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:06.880 so Rodney Pete went off to Europe and we don't 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:10.320 know where exactly where he was, you know, Capri, Monaco, 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.480 wherever wherever rich people go, which I think is all 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.879 over Europe, and you know they try to go places 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.639 they can tan without sweating, And so Rodney Pete skid 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.800 daddle off to Europe, possibly wearing linen pants, I would. 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.320 Think, right with his movie star wife. 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:26.119 Yeah. Yeah. 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.800 And while Rodney was out there doing god knows what 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.399 with magic what do you think eating sea bass? There 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:35.080 playing back game and reminiscing about the good old days 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.000 of the Showtime Lakers in the eighties and when he 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:40.880 was playing quarterback at SC against Troy Aikman and all that. 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.240 So who steps in? Who answers the bell? 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.200 Danny g who's the guy that says, you know what, 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:51.160 I'll do two bonus shows back to back with Fred Rogan? Oh, yes, 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:55.879 that's right, I did so the the I don't know, 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.719 some some guy, some guys, the Sultan of sleep deprivation 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:04.040 who I normally show up at these places when everyone's, uh, 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.600 you know, the rest of the station's asleep, but grudgingly 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.639 was you know. I did the daytime the daylight duty 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.959 twice this week. Now, this seems to be a tradition 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.000 early July. I've done this the last couple of years. 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:20.840 But doing radio during the day in early July on 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:24.720
