I think you know how the story ended. 52 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: The malamobile started malfunctioning, much like the trip, the romantic 53 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: trip up the California coast where we got to Sherman 54 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: Oaks from the north Woods and turn out the lots 55 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: the parties over so the same thing, bells and whistles, 56 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: lights flashing on the dashboard and it was toe on 57 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: the go. I had to get towed off the freeway. 58 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: So the second time we've had a tow truck in 59 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: the last couple of months, which began an absolute nightmare 60 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: week scheduling wise, and down to one car, Danny, and 61 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: living in California, there's no real rapid transit where we live, 62 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: so you gotta take the automobile or uber or whatever. 63 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: And you know this, you're you're living this also, so 64 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: down to one car, we decided, you know, I can 65 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: work from home some of the time, so I'm okay. 66 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: But this week, because of scheduling and we had some visitors. 67 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that later on in the podcast. 68 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: That paid a visit and I had to be in 69 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: the studio. I had to be the one wearing the 70 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: clown makeup, right, I had to have had I had 71 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: to put on a show, and so I had to 72 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: go in the studio. My wife had to go into 73 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: her job at the police station. She's a nine when 74 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: one operator and so uh, I picked up a new nickname, 75 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: uh car pool Benny uh and UH. I normally avoid 76 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: rush hour traffic. It's one of the perks of working overnight. 77 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: I don't have to deal with the monotony of bumper 78 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: to bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper. But I 79 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: did a couple of days this week I had to 80 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: take her to work. Now, one of the days I 81 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: took her to work and then I said, you know what, 82 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: I'll just go to the radio station. I'll get ready 83 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: for the show at the radio station, and we're allowed 84 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: to do that, although there's not a lot of room 85 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: anymore because they got rid of the offices and so whatever. 86 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: So I went and that was all right, and then 87 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: I ended up coming back to her work because she 88 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: worked much longer than a radio shift. You worked twelve 89 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: hour shifts at the at the nine one one desk, 90 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: and so she was there way after I got done. 91 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: So I hung out at the police station and I 92 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: got to use the WiFi. That was That was cool. 93 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: Careful what you're searching, though, but here exactly no no porn. 94 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: But the other thing thing, I you go to the 95 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: police station, and you always loved going there when you're 96 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,239 Speaker 1: not in the jail, right that that you're doing pretty 97 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: good there when you're not in jail. So I was 98 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: hanging out with her, which is kind of cool. It 99 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: was nice to talk to the officers, and I haven't 100 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: seen them that often, certainly the COVID and all that stuff. 101 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: I know some of the guys, uh and women that 102 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: worked there, so so that was fine. So then the 103 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: next day, this ended up being two days of purgatory. 104 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: What a pain in the behind now that the car 105 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: has actually been repaired and toda. We We went to 106 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: a local mom and pop repair shop where near where 107 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: the car broke down, which happened to be near where 108 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: we used to live. And unlike the DVA, you would 109 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: think the dealer would have all the answers. No, they 110 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: couldn't fix it. They said, we don't know what the 111 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: promise this other place. Oh yeah, we know exactly what 112 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: that is. Here's three things you need about a being 113 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: bout a boom uh you know, strike one, strike two, 114 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: strike three, year out and the car will be fixed. 115 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: So that's fine. But but I had to go another 116 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: day to drive the wife out to her job. And 117 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I'm gonna come back home. I'll 118 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: do the show from home. Nothing to worry about here, 119 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 1: we're good to go. So, Danny, I'm on the way 120 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: to the wife's work area. I'm stuck in horrendous traffic. 121 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: I'm questioning my decision making at this point, and I'm like, 122 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: how do people do this? I couldn't handle this. And 123 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: so I'm driving and I get a buzz on my 124 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: phone and it's from one of our bosses at Fox 125 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: Sports Radio saying, hey, they're doing some work on the 126 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: internet and some other things at the studio, and because 127 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: of that, you can't work from the home studio. You 128 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: have to be in studio. Yeah, so I'm on the way. 129 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: I don't mind you. If I had had my headphones 130 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: and my badge to get into the office the I 131 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: Heart building, the Premier building, I would have just gone 132 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: to the office. But I had already put my time 133 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,559 Speaker 1: in in the studio. I've been there a couple of days. 134 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, you know, I didn't 135 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: bring anything, so I couldn't go to the studio. I 136 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: didn't have my anything I needed I didn't have, so 137 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: I had to go home. So then I'm like texting back, 138 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, are you really sure there's there's nothing. 139 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: We could we work on a compromise. So then uh, 140 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: Scott was like, well, you know, if you can't make it, 141 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: we'll get somebody to fill in. And I don't know. 142 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: I didn't want didn't want that. I wanted to do 143 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: the show, and so I dropped my wife off after 144 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: spending ninety minutes in traffic, I then spent another hour 145 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: in twenty minutes in traffic. So now I'm out to 146 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: We had two hours in fifty minutes in traffic, and 147 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: I've gotten nowhere. I've gone back to where I need 148 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: to be. So then I've got a scramble because, as 149 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: you know, Danny, I'm a very methodical preparer for the show. 150 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: I I have a certain cadence that I followed ready 151 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: for a radio show. And exactly I'm a creature of habit. 152 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: That's what I was looking for. So completely just uh 153 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: waylaid my entire schedule. And these are first world problems 154 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: to have. So I'm scrambling. I'm like, all right, who 155 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: the you know, who the f cares? I'll just put 156 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: this out there. I don't give a crap, you know whatever. 157 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: I got a few opinions. I was actually I was 158 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: stopped near at one point near Anaheim Stadium, the Big A. 159 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: I could look into the Big A. The entire freeway 160 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: was was stopped. There was a traffic break because of 161 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: an accident on the Connector road. So this actually worked 162 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: out to be a good thing because I was able 163 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: to on my I own throw some I was surfing 164 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: around getting some stories and I was trying like, well, 165 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: what do I think about that? Is that good enough 166 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: for the show, and then I saw that actually helped 167 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: me out. The traffic helped me out on it as 168 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: weird as that is. So you were getting a Mallard 169 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: show riddle while you were stopped in traffic. Yes, yes, exactly, 170 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: that's exactly what was happening, Danny. So finally, you know, 171 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: I got home. I as I said, I threw some 172 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: stuff together, Bella hung out with me right next to me, 173 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: and then got piste. When I left, I was went 174 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: home for like a couple of hours, and I had 175 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: to get back in the roads. And then I spent 176 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: another hour in the car to get to the studio 177 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: and then the cherry on top of the Sunday. Nothing happened, 178 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: nothing went down, no equipment broke, there was no WiFi issue. 179 00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: Everything was fine. I could have stayed at the home 180 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: studio and done the work and nobody would have known 181 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: any different. Now, I was so upset that I kept 182 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: hitting the computer. I said, I told her, I said, 183 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: this is that this thing is gonna go down. This 184 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: is gonna go down. It never went down, So that 185 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: was my my nightmare. And then but wait, there's more. 186 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: So now at this point I'm out three hours and 187 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: fifty minutes, I believe. So then I do the show 188 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: and I've got to run back because I do the 189 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: podcast from the home studio. I don't I can't even 190 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: do it at the the studios we work out of 191 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: to do the radio show. I don't know the equipments 192 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: and equated and all that. I don't know how to 193 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: do it. There's nobody there. So I gotta come home 194 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: so now, and I gotta not that I'm upset to 195 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: work with you, Danny, but another hour. So now I'm 196 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: out almost five hours if my math is correct on that. 197 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: I think my math is right about five hours. And 198 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: and you know, just driving around, just five hours, five 199 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: hours I spent driving around. Well, at least you have 200 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: air conditioning and you weren't slaving away in the hot sun. 201 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: That is true. Yeah, there are people that actually do 202 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: real work, card labor that that is. That is much harder. 203 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: But I'm used to my usual routine. And so that 204 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: was that opening day, if you will, Danny. Now I'm 205 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: not talking baseball opening day. I'm not even talking foot 206 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: were talking about football, but this is a whole different 207 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: frontier here. It very much was like an MLB opening day. 208 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: You could feel the excitement in the air. The kids 209 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: were back on campus, the dress codes were being enforced 210 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: once again, and I was on campus very early to 211 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: help open up. So this past Tuesday, we open up 212 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: the campus, all the kids come trampling back on twelve 213 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: hundred middle schoolers. Ben. This is like a nightmare all 214 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: right now. Mind you, a lot of these are sixth 215 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: graders who have never had a locker. They've never had 216 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: multiple classes, they've never had to deal with running to 217 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: a class with two bells going off. They've just not 218 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: had this experience. So, as you can imagine, there were 219 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: lots of bug eyed kids walking around at seven thirty 220 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: am trying to figure out what class was what and 221 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: where they were supposed to go. Mapping out the rest 222 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: of the day. I had several kids walk up to 223 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: me asking me to please show them how to work 224 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: the master lock. And as you know, Ben, it's right 225 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: right right. You go right to clare it, then land 226 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: on your first number, then you go left past it 227 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: to the second number, and then you go right to 228 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: the third number and pull it down. And and when 229 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: it's really the pressure is really on you when you 230 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: got to to class because the bell is about to ring, 231 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: I just want to clarify for the kids that probably 232 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: are not listening to this podcast, that I, as a 233 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: middle aged adult, still have trouble with the lock. I 234 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: I much prefer the key lock. I cannot stand those 235 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: with the code. I hate him. I hate him, and 236 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: they seem like cheaper locks too. These things feel like 237 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna fall apart in your hand. But this is 238 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: what the school district hands out to the kids for 239 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: their locker for their books, and then for their pe 240 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: locker inside the locker rooms where they change, so they 241 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: have two of these to figure out. These sixth graders 242 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: been They looked like they were completely lost. One of 243 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: them came up to me and he's like, can you 244 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: please show me how to do the lock again? So 245 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: I showed it to him, had him do it in 246 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: front of me. He got it. But then he looks 247 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: up at me and he says, I have to do 248 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: this every day. Yes Toomey, welcome. It only goes downhill 249 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: from here, God bless him. Man, wait till you have 250 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: to do taxes and all the other adult bullshit the 251 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: rest of us have to. Yes. Yeah, So these kids 252 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: are lugging around books from their first classes trying to 253 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: shove them in these lockers. It was fun to watch. 254 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: Of course, the seventh and eighth graders were peacocking around 255 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: the campus because they've been there before, they've been in 256 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: the end zone. Um, it was a great first day. 257 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: And i'll tell you what, Ben, the sixth graders overall 258 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: seem a lot more calm because last year's collection of 259 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: sixth graders, holy crap, they were just coming off of COVID, 260 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: so they were wild. They had the numb chucks and 261 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: the astro blasters ready to go. Yeah, you know, they 262 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: hadn't been social for a while, they hadn't been at home, 263 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, like wild animals, they 264 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: were released back into the wilderness. That's what it was 265 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: like last school year. The sixth graders this year will 266 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: be a little more calm. Well usually, and you could 267 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: speak better to me, but as I better than me. 268 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: But as I remember when I was in school, it's 269 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: usually you start out, you're pretty good, and then at 270 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: some point certain students common deer the school, you know, 271 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: they overtake it and they try to topple the whole 272 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: the whole operation, and boom goes to dynamite. Good start, well, 273 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: that's good. So it was a busy beginning to the week. 274 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: On the radio show, I mentioned the car troubles and 275 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: back in business and all that, and it's really cool 276 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: that if you were listening, you heard this if you 277 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: listen to the live show, but a couple of card 278 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: carrying legends in the Mallar Militia in studio visits Sunday 279 00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: into Monday.

He took some some phone calls, 299 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: and I actually ended up giving him a lift back 300 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,959 Speaker 1: to his hotel room. He was staying down the street 301 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: at that Marriott. You know that hotel.

I stayed there when 304 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: there was Karma Geddon. What was Karma Gedding? How long ago? 305 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: Is that a few Yeah, it was a few years ago. Yes, 306 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: So Karma Geddon they shut down the four oh five freeway. 307 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: They had to put an overpass or something like that. 308 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: And our studios are right at the base of the 309 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 1: four oh five and the one on one in l A. 310 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: And so I was doing a bunch of weekend shifts. 311 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: So like, we'll get your hotel room. You can't go home, 312 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: you won't be able to get back. And it turned out. 313 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: There wasn't hardly any traffic. People were line. But anyway, 314 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: so Jay scoo, I give him right back to the hotel. 315 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: He actually brought a massive box of goodies.

You're the cookie man, though, are 330 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: these were these as good as your batches of cookie? 331 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: They're good. They were better than like process because they 332 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: were made from a local bakery. Looked like that. So 333 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: they had the label and whatnot. But no, I mean 334 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: I love making making the cookies and I actually made 335 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: some chocolate chip cookies this week.

But but yeah, so, 337 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: I mean, he brought the cookies and Eddie the hoarder 338 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: ended up grabbing most of the snicker Doom. It's a 339 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: bad job by him, but I was able to squirrel away. 340 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: I had a bag I think it was Doug Gottlieb's 341 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: bag that he left in the studio. I grabbed the 342 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: bag and I put a hodgepodge of cookies in there. 343 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: So then that was on Sunday night, and then Monday 344 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: into Tuesday. Our old pal Chris and Houston he paid 345 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: a visit. Yeah, yeah, we we've had many great sparring 346 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: matches over the years. Chris sold out, he took the 347 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: dreaded day shift, so he no longer works overnights, but 348 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: he's a podcast listener and die hard rockets Texans and 349 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: cheating stros am I on the live here. Well that 350 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: of course a great homage to help with me. But 351 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: but he he was in l A to take his 352 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: skins to Disneyland and v I P package and all 353 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: that and I gotta tell you, Danny, you know, he 354 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: was pretty smooth. I mean, you can tell he's done 355 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: some podcasting stuff. But was he good enough to impress 356 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: Blind Scott? No, of course not no, no, no, Blind Scott. 357 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: No Scott, if you didn't know, called Ben on the 358 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: air and said that all the callers that have been 359 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: coming in to meet you in studio are trash and 360 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: if he came in, he'd be so good. Management would 361 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: fire you and give the overnight shift to him. Yes, yes, 362 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: the cream rises at the top of that, and Dylan 363 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: as his sidekick. That would be wonderful. The press release 364 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: on that alone would rock the sports world. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 365 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: Blind the first dog on the air, right. No, we 366 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: have have a whole lineup. We have a kennel, that 367 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: is what we have. But what you're talking about, jeez, 368 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: it's a madhouse around there. Well, we need a fleabath, 369 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: that is what we need. Anyway, Chris, we made sure 370 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: me and Roberto we patted him down. We checked him 371 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: for the buzzers. We didn't see any buzzers. No Astros 372 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: contraband if he's wearing Astro's merchandise, we were not going 373 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: to allow him in the studio. Was he eyeing the 374 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: trash can in the main studio, Well, he felt at 375 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: home he saw the trash can, He's like, oh, that's 376 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: my my happy place, that's my happy place. But it 377 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: was it was cool to see him busting his chops 378 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: and all that, and good job by Roberto. He wore 379 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: the asterisks shirt. So remember I don't know if you 380 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: remember that Eddie bought us all shirts that has it 381 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: looks like the Astros logo, but it says asterisk on it. 382 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 1: That's all right, that's a nice touch by Roberto. Yeah, 383 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: so I'm I'm excited. The COVID rules have been rolled 384 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: back and so we can hang out with fans of 385 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: this show again.

You have to explain because whatever you say, 401 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: as bleary eyed as you were, whatever you said, you 402 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: you're a teacher. You taught the people. I knew it. 403 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: Brent Musberger and now five star five reviews. Oh my god, 404 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: Musburger was amazing. Dude. To hear his voice in your 405 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: voice together, Ben, If we don't send that into the 406 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: Marconi folks, I don't know what we're doing with our lives. 407 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: And I love Musburger because Brent I was trying to 408 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: talk about his career and make it all about him. 409 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: But Brent, he wanted to talk baseball. He wanted to 410 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: talk about, you know, football, and he didn't want to 411 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: talk about himself, which was kind of cool because we 412 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: we know guys. I'm not gonna name names. Pat O'Brian, 413 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: who loved to talk about themselves. But but Brent, I 414 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: got the center. He did talk about himself, but I 415 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: tried to make it all about him, and he was like, no, 416 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: he wanted to talk about watching a Yankee game or 417 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: college football schedule. And but he did tell the story. 418 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: And I won't give it away, but the story he 419 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: told I to him about how he got some of 420 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: his catchphrases, the one you're looking live, which is his 421 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: most famous catchphrase. I don't know that he's I'm sure 422 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: he's told that over there. I've never heard the story 423 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 1: that he told. I don't know if that's an exclusive 424 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: on the fifth Hour, but you're right, I had never 425 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: heard that story before. Yeah, it was pretty it was 426 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: pretty neat and it as far as the backscratcher danities, 427 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 1: are actual rews by actual listeners, thanks to you, Danny 428 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: and the fact that you let people know how they 429 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: could actually get to the podcast page where they needed 430 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: to click to review it. So this guy Twizzle T, 431 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: I don't know that he he's posted like three different 432 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: reviews over the last couple of months. Does he delete 433 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: his account and then start over? I'm not sure how 434 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: that works, but he wrote in he says, I love 435 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: it the fifth hour. This show every week keeps me entertained. 436 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: Keep it up, fellas. Twizzle T says, you're the best, 437 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: which actually means you're only as good as everyone else, 438 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: that's what. So you're slightly better than that, which means 439 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: you're better than average either way. Twizzle T says, I 440 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: love the show and I use a sleep mask with 441 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: Bluetooth so I can listen to the rainforest. That's a 442 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: good idea. And we talked about Yeah, that was a 443 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: topic last weekend listener cal writes in says great easy listening, 444 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: always great and helps me get through my morning weekend chores. 445 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: Is that the old honey do list?

That's it. There you go. 448 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: I like it. Man. No. We talked about how the 449 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: podcast helps us drive in l A traffic. Yeah, yeah, no, No, 450 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: I will give the podcast credit here, Danny that because 451 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,239 Speaker 1: we do the Saturday podcast, I pay more attention to 452 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: the things I do. I don't know if you've noticed that, 453 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: but I'm like, well, I mean sometimes you do stuff 454 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: and you don't really pay attention. You're not in the moment. 455 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: But I have noticed, like even just little things. You're 456 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: like a pitching coach. You take that little notepad out 457 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: of your back pocket. Yeah. Yeah, It's like we've had 458 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: comedians on the podcast and I've I've known it's Sorrge 459 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: who I used to work with at Fox back in 460 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: the day, and like you know, certainly we don't do 461 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: comedy here, but just that mindset where you have to 462 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: be paying attention, you have to to to make mental 463 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: notes that you're remembering certain things. It certainly does help 464 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: when we get to the to the podcast. I don't 465 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: have to scramble.

Yeah. I don't even listen to three 513 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: hour podcasts about the NFL. No, No, you can't. Like 514 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: I think I've only listened to one podcast that was 515 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: that long, and it was when Joe Rogan, and I don't. 516 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: I don't always listen to Rogan. I just somebody had 517 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: sent me this link and said, you got to hear this, 518 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: this is crazy.

Alex Jones. I 521 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: think he's a guy's name. So it was Joe Rogan 522 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: and Alex Jones and somebody's one of my buddies and 523 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: radios like, you gotta hear this. This is this guy's 524 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: next level. So I listened, and I did listen to 525 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: the whole thing. I could not believe what I was hearing. 526 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: It was fast, and I was like, this is this 527 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: is unbelievable. But that's about it. I my my attention 528 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: span is not that great. But anyway, this guy says 529 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: he listens today's podcast and he unwinds with He says, 530 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g rambling on the greatest podcast about nothing. 531 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: I love the Saturday Show, gentlemen, I like, I look 532 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: forward to it every week.

Danny 534 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: Buzz in Vegas says, the fifth hour I love the 535 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: Fifth Hour. I used to listen to The Mallard Show 536 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: live when I worked overnights. It's great to be able 537 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: to listen to the show again via the podcast. By 538 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: the way, Buzz says, I was listening to Two Pros 539 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: and a Cup of Joe the podcast recently when they 540 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: interrupted their flow and said, who was that who walked by? 541 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: Was that Ben Mallard? They sounded like teenagers who had 542 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: just seen their favorite rock star. Bus says LaVar Arrington 543 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: was clearly intimidated by the size and the fierce demeanor 544 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: of Mallard and all and Pro Bowl linebackers are not 545 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: easily intimidated, and Bus says, just how big are you? 546 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: Or were you trying to terrorize your colleague? No, but 547 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: I it's one of the great things about being a study. 548 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: I love Jonas. I've known Jonas for a long time. 549 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: He's worked all his way up. I love guys that 550 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: work their way up in radio. That's what I did. 551 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: And Jonas has paid his dues and he's got a 552 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: great morning show, and so I love seeing Jonas. I've 553 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: seen him work as a producer and an update guy 554 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: and get a weekend show and now he's got a 555 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: show during the week, except for that time he caught 556 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: you cheating. You didn't like him. He lied about that. 557 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: He's Pinocchio on that. But other than that, I like 558 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: so I always rot. We're real radio guys, Danny. We 559 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: we came up in the business, so we I think 560 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: we agree on that. We've talked about in the past, 561 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: the guys that go through and have to deal with 562 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: the bullshit that you have to deal with when you're 563 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: not a entertainer, you're not on television, or you're not 564 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: in you're not in the normal avenues that people take. 565 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: The blue collar radio hosts. Yeah, that just appreciate the 566 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: art of audio content or whatever you want to say. So, 567 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: but but LaVar has been great. And LaVar actually kind 568 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: of lives where in the area where I used to live, 569 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: so he hangs out at restaurants I used to go 570 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: to when I lived in that area. And plus I 571 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: remember LaVar was a bad mofo when he played in 572 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: the NFL. Damn. I mean this guy was was tremendous, 573 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: uh and really even better in college football at Penn State. 574 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: But LaVar living up to the hype. Some of these 575 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: guys get drafted high, and they do not exactly get 576 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: or done in the NFL. But LaVar Arrington did and 577 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: he had a good, good career, made a good amount 578 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: of money and now he's doing well at the radio. 579 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: But so but no, I mean, I don't I don't 580 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: know how. I'm a few inches taller than LaVar. LaVar 581 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 1: is like I think he's six three, um, like you know, 582 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,919 Speaker 1: six six, But I usually lean over something shorter than that, 583 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: and obviously way a lot more than LaVar, even though 584 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: I've lost a lot of weight. I don't know how 585 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: much the LaVar ways. But anyway, is it's nice. Yeah, 586 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: when you actually stand up straight, you look like you're 587 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: six seven. Yeah. I usually want to be closer to everyone, 588 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: so I have a hunchback. I'll be like Quasimodo at 589 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: some point when I get done with all this, are 590 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: we gotta get out on that Danny again, I explain 591 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: how people can add to the podcast page on the 592 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 1: Apple podcast platform, because management does check that out.
